PAINTBOX SCHOOL OF ART- OUR STORY

Our Story...

Paintbox is a small, independent Art School based in Cockenzie House and Gardens, which is located the coastal village of Cockenzie, in East Lothian.  Beginning in 2013, Paintbox have built up a centre of teaching excellence in Fine Art priding ourselves on providing highly individual and innovative courses designed to nurture and support artistic ability, while encouraging students to push and develop their skills to a level they didn’t know they we capable of.  Small class numbers (max 10) ensure a high ratio of student:tutor time, and an education that is entirely sculpted around the individual.

Over the past 7 years we have been able to build a strong following and are delighted to say many of our students have gone on to have great artistic success across the UK.

Friends and founders Jemma Derbyshire and Lynsey Connachan share a vision for creating a safe, supported environment in which their students can flourish.

THE STUDIOS...

Our Studios are at the beautiful Cockenzie House and Gardens, East Lothian.  Situated right beside the sea, surrounded by beautiful gardens, it really is an ideal location for your creativity to flourish!
