A professionally organised art club based in Cranleigh Arts Centre, for people of all ages wishing to improve their art skills.
Art Hub
We are Art Group based in Cranleigh, Surrey. Our ethos is to inspire young artists who are either planning to take GCSE Art in the near future or who just have a love for the subject.
The idea is that we can help you ENH ANCE your work produced at school. Perhaps you never have time to finish things off in class? Or don’t have anywhere suitable to work at home? Then Art Hub is the perfect solution for you.
We have worked in collaboration with Glebelands school, to ensure that the course content will be 100% beneficial and not interfere with any school-based work. The Art department there has given us their full support. Work completed at Art Hub will be able to be submitted with your GCSE folder when required (subject to the advice of your school Art Teacher).
We have been fully booked for this course for 2 years so get in early! We currently have pupils attending from 2 different secondary schools.
Art Hub Mini
This is a version of Art Hub for younger years (school years 4-6). It started in September 2025 due to public demand and has been a fabulous success. The work produced has surpassed expectations! It teaches the formal elements of art and design through fun and engaging projects, allowing the children to start secondary school with an advanced knowledge of the subject. Currently we have pupils attending from four different primary schools and from home schooled education.
Absolute Beginners
This is a BRAND NEW class for Art Hub for ADULTS! I have been wanting to do this for ages and now I have finally got a slot at the Arts Centre so can get it up and running. The aim is to encourage adults who have always wanted to draw or paint, but have never had the confidence to do so. You will be amazed at what you are capable of after learning the basics. I will work through the formal elements of art and design through fun and engaging projects. Hopefully you will meet like minded people and and have the skills to start a brand new hobby. The Arts centre has a lovely gallery and coffee shop so make sure you get there early to have a browse and buy a cuppa and cake to bring in with you!
Who am I? My name is Claire Vince and I live in the centre of Cranleigh with my husband and two sons. Before I left the Midlands, I worked as a Secondary school teacher, Assistant Head of Year, and Head of Department in both Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon. After our move South I set up Art Hub in 2022 and haven’t looked back!
With 20 years of previous classroom and evening class experience, I am fully qualified with a BA Hons degree in Design Arts with Art History (2:1) and a PGCE in Secondary School Arts. I also hold an Enhanced DBS certificate and Introduction to safeguarding adults certificate (Level 1) and run my own sign-making business ‘I SAW THE SIGNS’ as a hobby, creating house names and wedding signs from recycled wood.
All classes meet at the Arts Centre, Cranleigh. It is a beautiful room with lots of light and space. We have a large room with a sink and enough space for 15 students to meet at the same time. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet conducive to work. We learn, work and enjoy ourselves all at once.
So…what are you waiting for?
