Would you like to learn a new creative skill, develop your confidence, or get help with a specific project? Our private 1-to-1 creative sessions offer personalised tuition tailored to your interests, experience level, and goals.
These relaxed sessions take place at Pretty Neat Gallery & Studio in Brighton Marina and are suitable for complete beginners, improvers, and experienced makers looking for guidance with a particular technique or project.
Unlike a group workshop, private tuition allows you to learn in a way that suits you. You can focus entirely on the skills you want to develop, ask as many questions as you like, and work at a pace that feels comfortable.
Many people choose private lessons because they want extra support, prefer a quieter learning environment, or would like dedicated time with an experienced tutor.
Private sessions can be arranged for many of the creative skills offered at Pretty Neat Gallery & Studio, including:
If there is a particular art or craft skill you would like to learn, please get in touch. We may be able to arrange tuition with one of our guest instructors or create a session specifically for your needs.






Alternatively, already working on a project but feeling stuck? Private sessions are also ideal if you need help understanding a pattern, solving a technical problem, learning a new technique, using unfamiliar materials, or completing a project that has been sitting unfinished for months.
Sometimes a little expert guidance can save hours of frustration and help you enjoy the creative process again.
Our aim is to help you build skills and confidence while enjoying the process of making. As a result, there is no pressure to keep up with a group, no previous experience is required, and every session is tailored to your individual goals.
In additional, materials can often be provided depending on the activity, and we will discuss any specific requirements when arranging your session.
£35 per hour
£75 for a 3-hour session
