Cardiff Open art school offers art & design courses to the public in everything from painting, potte

Cardiff Open is based at Cardiff School of Art and Design, part of Cardiff Metropolitan University. It offers courses aimed for both enjoyment and development within art and design for anyone wishing to learn new skills or extend and update existing ones. We welcome students of all ages and abilities, including beginners. There are no entry requirements except a willingness to learn and enthusiasm

for your subject. Students come along with a range of motivations - to study for their own personal enjoyment, to build up their portfolios of work as evidence of study for applying for courses (eg Foundation courses in art and design) or to develop career related skills. Whatever your motivation, everyone receives tuition, advice and encouragement from the tutors who are practicing artists and designers, and benefits from working with a committed and enthusiastic group of students and staff. Courses run regularly include painting, drawing, life drawing, screen printing, printmaking, pottery, DSLR photography, digital photography, 3D printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting and CNC milling.

Our Spring 2026 courses, starting in January are now live!

The New Year is a great time to start a new hobby or learn a new skill, so why not take a look and see if one of our courses takes your fancy. You'll be getting a massive head start on that New Year's resolution too! 🥳👨🏻‍🎨

Equally, our courses make great Christmas presents for that creative or creative curious person in your life! ⛄🤶🎅🏻

New next term: we've launched more weekend and 5 week courses this term which we hope are easier to navigate amongst busy lifestyles, and there's still your classic 10 week offerings for those who prefer to spend more time with us, our creative community, and honing their creative skills.
