Excellent art class suitable for beginners and more advanced artists and art enthusiasts - I really enjoyed my art class with Kate and Mark.. so much so that I rebooked for today! Both teachers are kind and patient which is important since there’s a process to follow in making the geometric designs. They made it interesting and fun - we had a lot of laughs. I learnt a lot about watercolours as well as geometry so I highly recommend this class and next time we are in Granada we’ll be back!

Enjoyable artistic experience - This was relaxing and fun. I am an amateur artist and was looking for an afternoon activity that would be indoors and calm. I had already been to Arab baths/massage and this was comparable in price and something that interests me. I was the only participant that session so it was like a private art lesson. I expected more explanation about the Alhambra, but it was 3 hours hands on to complete the design, and I was fine with that. One can look up the history or context online or in a book. Meanwhile, there is no substitute for having a teacher to teach or walk you through creating your own design. The studio is the second floor of a small wine bar and was clean and organized with artwork on display to view and purchase. The paints, papers and other materials were of excellent quality. I highly recommend this experience to artists and beginners alike.

Don't miss this - magical afternoon - This was a wonderful highlight of our stay in Granada. Understanding the geometry behind the designs and having the joy of creating our own was magical. The location is easy to find, light and spacious but also intimate. Kay and Mark are excellent teachers as well as just being great warm hearted interesting people and made us feel free to use the session as we wanted and were generous with their time. One of us (not me) produced a piece worth framing. Not to be missed. It expanded our experience.

Inspiring Class with a Talented Instructor! - I recently attended a class at the Geometric Art Studio and had an amazing experience. Kate, the instructor, is incredibly talented and her passion for geometric art of Alhambra truly shines through. Not only did we learn fantastic techniques, but we were also treated to captivating tales from her experiences living all over the world. This added a unique and enriching dimension to the class. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to enhance their skills and be inspired by a world-class instructor.

A little geometry, drawing, painting, history and a lot of fun! - Absolutely loved this studio and the class. Kate and Mark were the best! A little geometry, drawing, painting, history and a lot of fun. Creating the geometric shape was a bit challenging for me but Kate took me through the exercise step by step. Mark was my class buddy since I was the only person in attendance on a Sunday morning at 9:30am. and even made coffee! Kate taught me about watercolors and different painting techniques, both explaining and demonstrating. Kate and Mark have lived an interesting life and it was fun to talk with them about their experiences living abroad in so many countries before settling down in Granada. I will definitely visit the studio again and take another class on my next trip to Granada. Helen

Fantastic Experience- Not To Miss!! - Excellent class! I attended this class on my own, (my husband wanted to walk around town.) It was such a great experience to learn not only about the history of the art but to actually create it. It is a nice break from touring sites and also gives you a better perspective of the art you see in the Alhambra. You do not have to be an expert artist by any means! Kate and Mark make you feel at home and assure that you create a nice painting. I cannot recommend this enough- a unique and standout experience here in Granada!!
