During Autumn to Spring, The Glasgow School of Art’s Continuing Education Department will run weekly day and evening courses for adults and Saturday courses for children. The programme runs for 18 weeks over two terms from October to March. The courses available are diverse and all are welcome regardless of previous experience or ability.

The courses are taught by experienced artists and designers who are specialists in their field, and classes are held in studios and workshops normally used by full time GSA students. Drawing and painting classes take place in the Mackintosh Building – the building is Category A listed and a Registered Museum as well as continuing to be run as a world-class Art School.
