Whether onsite or online, we are known for our warm and inclusive atmosphere. We offer an excellent range of high-quality art and craft workshops, courses, classes, and talks, working exclusively with outstanding tutors from all over the world. To ensure a personal and enriching learning experience, we keep our class sizes small, allowing every student to receive individual attention.

​

Ardington School of Crafts is based at The Victory Room in Bucklebury, a tranquil and inspiring setting nestled in the heart of the West Berkshire countryside.  The Victory Room provides a fully accessible, relaxed, and creative environment with ample free parking right outside — no long walks to the car with heavy equipment!  We relocated to Bucklebury, Berkshire from Ardington village in 2024.

​

For over a decade, Ardington has been a hub of creativity and learning. We became directors in December 2016, driven by our passion for art and craft and a vision to offer a diverse and inspiring curriculum for all interests and ambitions. In 2020, we expanded with the launch of LivePlus™ online classes and ArtTalks, led by our daughter, Gemma, who became a director in 2024.

​

Our online lessons quickly become a cherished part of Ardington, featuring a growing programme that includes our unique STUDY courses. Our online classes maintain the same friendly and supportive ethos as our in-person workshops whilst connecting students from around the world.

Look forward to seeing you soon, whether in person or online.
