About Jill McKay's Art Trail Centre^©

Morning, afternoon and evening classes are held throughout the year in the form of Workshops and Courses in many subjects, and for any standard of ability.

Various other events occur each Season, including painting outings, outdoor classes during the Summer, and Painting Holidays.

We provide high quality art tuition to adults of all standards and abilities in various forms.

Facilities
We provide a relaxing environment conducive to productive learning. The studio houses many informative visual examples of different painting methods, techniques, styles and media which students will encounter, and these are changed on a regular basis. A library of specifically chosen art books and an extensive collection of catalogued reference material and photographs provides the student with a wealth of subject matter and information relevant to Jill’s teaching.
Various art equipment is available for general use, certain materials are advertised as being provided in some workshops and beverages are provided during all our studio classes.

Location
The Art Trail Centre in Ferndown, Dorset is easily located, only 10 minutes from Bournemouth airport with fast access to London by rail and road. Southampton airport is just a short distance too. Parking is available at the centre.
