Mrs Fox, which is based at Braintree Road, will offer class through the spring and summer – from April to the end of September.

The classes, which began on April 19, are geared towards all abilities and ambitions and the teaching staff are all accomplished artists or experienced school and adult teachers.

Jane Fox, owner, said: “The idea is that everyone can feel comfortable attending our classes. From the first time novice who wants to paint occasionally, to the more experienced and obsessive painter.

“I also want to try and use these classes to build people’s general confidence and would like to appeal to young mums who want a few hours to themselves, or older people who perhaps find themselves with some time on their hands.

“But this is not women only, we want men to get involved too.”
