So I spent a long time lovingly repairing it and it's followed us to our new space which that's where we are at the moment. So it was about seven years ago when I was working in secondary schools in sixth form and I was doing art tutoring as well.

And as I noticed how many students were part of the mainstream schooling system and how little attention each were receiving by being part of such big classes, sometimes it was over a class of 30. I wanted to set up something separately, so that's when I set up Inner Art, and that was a one-to-one tuition, and then we built around that with art clubs, art classes for adults.

So we use watercolours, acrylics, oil paints, and we also do some printing techniques. And a lot of the work we do stems from observational drawing and looking at the things around us, sometimes in nature.

We get inspiration from the outdoors or current events and the students themselves bring lots of inspiration with all their weird and wonderful ideas and the things that they actually want to take from their dreams and imaginations into something that's real.

We try to cover a broad spectrum so that we do work from real life, we do learn skills, we learn techniques, we learn traditional art skills but also we enhance that with our own personal journey or the things that we are inspired by and the things that we love.
