Art classes in Playa San Juan, Alicante
At Sway Studios, our art classes are more than lessons — they’re a chance to reconnect with yourself through creativity. Set in the peaceful neighbourhood of Playa de San Juan, we welcome expats, tourists, locals, and absolute beginners to pick up a brush, pencil, or ink and discover the joy of making art in a relaxed, encouraging space.
🖌️ What We Offer
One-on-one Art Classes – These classes can be tailored to your specific interests.
Group Art Classes [2 to 5 people] – perfect for families or small groups of friends who are wanting to do something different and build their creative skills.
Team-Building Art Sessions – These classes will have one focal subject and shall strongly nurture your individual art style.
At Sway Studios, art classes are thoughtfully designed to suit a range of creative needs and experience levels. Each session lasts 1-2 hours, (this can be extended), and a detailed overview will be provided before the start of your classes so you know exactly what to expect. Most sessions will include a guided subject matter to explore, though if you have a specific image, theme, or medium in mind, we welcome that too — especially during one-on-one classes or small group settings, where more personalised attention allows for deeper creative freedom

It’s a unique opportunity to capture the beauty of your surroundings while engaging in a social and inspiring setting.Classes are held in English, with basic Spanish support if needed.
