"Wonderful experience learning to draw and paint at Swarthmore. Relaxed and encouraging environment. I highly recommend this excellent centre of education."

Harriet

“I did Oil Painting for Beginners and loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed, I learned a lot and enjoyed the company of my classmates. I'll be back - in fact, I've signed up for next term!”

Support us by volunteering

Swarthmore relies on people like you for volunteering. Whether it’s in the classroom, or behind the scenes, your skills can help us make more of a difference to the community we serve. We welcome new ideas about how volunteers at Swarthmore can make our Centre a welcoming venue and provide opportunities for our students.
