    My children attend the Home Ed Session at this Art Class and absolutely love it. I have found the owner - Eliyah, and her staff, really helpful, informative and friendly. My children are learning a wide range of art skills, at quiet a high level and will be progressing and obtaining awards. I highly recommend and commend the group, which is very inspiring and an asset to the community and all she does for it.

    My niece attends Barkingside Art Club where she has flourished well and continues to grow positively. This is an Art Club with a passion that incorporates many forms of expressive art and therapy into a safe, controlled, non- judgemental environment where positive personal growth, individual success and value, relaxation and healing can happen. Art means different things to different people and this club, run and managed by Eliyah, fosters and encourages children of all backgrounds and needs to express their inner creative realm and feelings into developing a creative consciousness, self understanding, insight and happiness. Participants like my niece have reduced stresses and anxieties, have grown in self esteem and feel valued and supported. Whether interpreting a drawing or becoming a Creative Ambassador, the children here are able to grow in happiness, value and expression. It's five stars for the innovative Barkingside Art Club. There is local parking very close, as well as access to disabled toilets and a waiting area for parents. Highly recommended!!.

    The Owner/Artist Eliyah Qureshi is an inspirational patient talented person who has put these classes for Adult, Children, after school and holiday clubs and SEN Children sessions too. Very well set up, spacious, social distancing, clean, well equipped, toilet facilities cuppa tea and biscuits. I have started after 20months as a Long Covid Patient to attend to help with my mental health and for my anxiety I have really enjoyed my water colour and acrylic painting classes on a Wednesday at 12noon to 2pm very accessible bus stops infront of Fullwell Cross Library. Great to support a local business owner
