Ardington School of Crafts

Unleash Your Creativity with new Diverse Arts & Crafts Workshops in Bucklebury.

Ardington School of Crafts was founded in 2012 in the village of Ardington in South Oxfordshire and we, Yvonneand Simon Sonsino, took over as directors in December 2016. 

They are both passionate about Arts & Crafts and are working hard to develop the curriculum to ensure all tastes and ambitions are covered online and onsite at Bucklebury.

They offer a wide and high quality range of onsite and online Arts & Crafts and pride ourselves in working only with outstanding tutors.

In 2020, they added the new online range of LivePlus™ classes and ArtTalks, managed by their daughter, Gemma.

The online classes are now a much-loved part of the Ardington offering, with an ever-growing programme that includes their unique STUDY courses. 

They have a great track record of excellent student and tutor feedback and always provide a welcoming atmosphere, whether onsite or online.

From 2024 their onsite workshops are being held at The Victory Room, Bucklebury.

The tranquil surroundings and the high quality of tuition provide a creative and relaxed environment.

Their online option has no geographical boundaries, and you will often find yourself on a session with people from every continent.

Class sizes are small, so each student gets individual attention – and they like it that way.

Online can sometimes seem so impersonal otherwise, and they want to provide an environment that is inclusive, welcoming and where effective learning can take place.
