ALDEBURGH BEACH
“I am delighted to announce the foundation of the Aldeburgh Academy, a natural addition to the long history of creative innovation here in Aldeburgh. To have
David Baldry as Director of the Art School is invaluable.
He and his team of lecturers and tutors are exceptionally well qualified to provide university standard teaching, which we can offer at a fraction of the price. Based at the Aldeburgh Beach Lookout, the courses may also take place at several inspiring locations across Aldeburgh and surrounding villages.” Caroline Wiseman, Aldeburgh Beach Lookout, founded in 2010 as a catalyst for the inspiration of artists, poets, writers and thinkers.
"A long weekend that stimulated and
challenged me...whilst making me feel that I was on holiday
in Tuscany."
"I found David's professional input
inspiring and Linda was an excellent
teacher, supporting us to challenge our ideas and produce work in many different ways. My fellow students were fantastic too, all supportive
and positive."
"I really enjoyed the course, and as a beginner, I found it particularly good, as it gave me a taste of so many different things. It really opened up a new world for me and has certainly inspired me to explore my creative side more."
“We believe that small is beautiful. The Aldeburgh Academy offers the core principles and benefits of a traditional art school, but in the intimate and inspirational setting of Aldeburgh.
Small class sizes guarantee students a good level of interaction with teachers, all of whom are practising artists with a good awareness of students’ varying levels
of experience.
Students learn new skills and approaches to making art, while being encouraged to experiment and test their abilities. Through talks and discussions, they contextualise their practice and gain an insight into the work of other artists.
This serious and industrious approach with enthusiastic and lively teaching maximises learning, and offers an enjoyable and rewarding experience.”

£270 for each 3 day course includes a delicious lunch, wine over the 5pm group crit and materials. 10% discount for Arts Club members. 9 days of courses of your choice adds up to the Aldeburgh Academy Summer Diploma.
