Heron’s Dyke Studio, at the end of a no through road in the delightful Somerset village of Lympsham, is a haven for artists. Young, or not so young, beginner, or accomplished craftsperson, there will be something for everyone at this highly professional art, design and craft studio.
The studio was once part of Lower Farm, the building, about 170 years old, formally a cow shed. It’s set in a courtyard, with full disability access and plenty of free, safe parking. There are two parts to the studio, a main art room, with 12 workstations, and a ceramic studio, with 6 workstations, however, only maximum 12 students are taken on each course, (6 on ceramic courses) and so there is plenty of space for each one to spread themselves and their work.

Hello, anyone who has been lucky enough to come to my art courses ! I’m looking to update my FB page and would really appreciate it if you would kindly give the Studio and myself a review please. If you’re not sure what to include you could comment on any, (or all) of the following: Location of the Studio Learning environment Learning experience Variety of media and techniques used The tutor’s approach to learning, ability to teach well and to a wide and varied audience Themes incorporated into learning Ease of free car parking Or anything else you would care to add. Many thanks indeed, and if you’ve not signed up yet, there is one space left on the Wednesday course, one space left on the children’s Saturday course, and several places on the Tuesday course.
