Rowan Community Evening Classes

Rowan arts centre is now running two evenings a week of evening classes. Every Monday and Thursday, 6.30pm to 9pm. We also run one-off masterclass days with our next one taking place in September.

Why come to Rowan? Rowan’s art courses offer something refreshingly different from other adult classes in Cambridge. Participants consistently describe a “relaxed and supportive atmosphere”, where learning feels enjoyable as well as focused.

Courses run in small groups of no more than eight people, allowing tutors to give clear guidance and individual support. As one participant put it:
“Relaxed atmosphere, lovely clear instructions and a super helpful tutor.”

You’ll work in our fully equipped arts centre, with all materials provided and access to high-quality specialist facilities, including pottery kilns, pug mills and professional printmaking presses.
“The pottery room is so well equipped,” and “Excellent facilities, good lighting, warm and welcoming.”

Evenings at Rowan are lively and social. Several courses run at the same time, creating a shared studio feel. Each session includes a short break with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, giving you the chance to meet other artists and see what’s being made across the building.

Above all, our courses are designed to be enjoyable and confidence-building:
“Really good fun,”
“Classes were fun, exploring different techniques — I have learnt so much!”

Many participants go on to book again and would recommend Rowan art courses to others:
“I’ve really enjoyed this class, and am considering doing another! I’ve learnt so much and have made some lovely artwork.”

Most importantly, by taking part you’re also supporting Rowan as an independent local charity, helping us continue to foster creativity and opportunity through the arts.

One of the most famous figures in English history, Oliver Cromwell, was laid to rest at Westminster Abbey, but his decapitated head is buried in the grounds of Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge. Grisly but true!
