ArtXtra Limited
ArtXtra is a small private Art School offering art and pottery classes and workshops for adults and children. It was approved as an AQA exam centre for GCSE and A-Level Art and Design in 2003. Many art materials and techniques are on offer including ceramics, textiles, screen printing, sculpture, drawing and painting.
Set in 'Wessex Barn', a beautiful Grade 2 listed building which retains many features from its resourceful past as a convent dormitory, a farmhouse, a coaching inn and a community of 5 workers cottages, artXtra has been developing as a small art centre since 1998. Three linked studios provide plenty of space and are well lit, warm and welcoming. A recent barn conversion provides occasional exhibition space.
The large garden is set on different levels and provides plenty of inspirational views, as well as a teeming pond and a terrace for coffee. During Summer Art Days the children play table tennis and badminton.
