Relax and Recharge with an Art Class Off the Tourist Trail
When visiting Edinburgh you’ll discover centuries-old castles, sweeping views, historic streets, and lively shops, but if you’re looking for something truly memorable and a little different, step away from the tourist trail and come to Studio 48. Tucked away in Leith, we are a welcoming art studio offering a refreshing escape from the busyness of the city centre. It’s a place where creativity flows freely, where visitors of all ages and abilities can enjoy the simple pleasure of making art, meeting new people, and take home something they’ve created with their own hands.
Exploring Digital Art: A New Creative Frontier
As the creative world continues to evolve, digital art has emerged as a dynamic and accessible form of expression. At Studio 48, we’re excited to introduce Digital Arty Tuesdays, a five-week evening course designed for adults who are eager to explore this medium. Digital art is not just for professional illustrators or tech-savvy creatives; with the right tools and support, anyone can begin to experiment with digital drawing, painting, and animation.
Why You Should Make Time for Art (Even If You Think You’re Not ‘Creative’)
Many dismiss the idea of making art, believing they lack creativity or artistic talent. They may say "I can’t draw” or "I was never good at art in school” – but really art is for everyone. It’s not just for those who might consider themselves naturally gifted. Being an artist or a creative is not an exclusive club! While technical skills can be developed, art can just be a form of joy and self-expression, and is an activity that anyone can and should partake in.
Overcoming Obstacles and Artistic Blocks
Creativity flourishes in the right atmosphere. Participating in structured classes or group workshops exposes you to new ideas, techniques, and perspectives. At Studio 48 we run a number of classes, fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere that not only nurtures artistic talent but also builds confidence in each student.
