Art Courses at The Stable Gallery

A beautiful and inspiring place for art courses in Yorkshire

The Stable Gallery at Old Sleningford is set in a beautiful and very rural part of North Yorkshire, 5 miles north of Ripon.

Art courses are held throughout the year in the converted 18th century stables. All proceeds from the fees, which should be giftaided if possible, are donated to a local charity.

There is an excellent well equipped studio for indoor work. Classes are kept small enough to ensure comfortable working conditions and full scope for individual attention.

The garden has many features which make it an inspiring place to paint. There is an old mill, a lake and islands, woodland, a walled kitchen garden, herbaceous borders, summer houses and also old farm buildings nearby. All this provides a rich variety of subjects for the artist.

A selling exhibition of paintings by the tutors of courses at Sleningford in 2013 will be held at Zillah Bell Gallery in Thirsk from the 12th to 26th January from 10am to 4pm. The Private View will be on Friday 11th January from 11am to 4pm.

As well as the 2 day art courses, there is a Life Class every Friday, and a Drawing and Painting Class every Tuesday for three 10-week terms from October to July.
