Our Team
Kerryn – Branch Manager
Art has always been a big part of my life. I still remember receiving a little sketching book at the age of seven—it introduced me to the basics of shading and drawing. My first creation? A wobbly sketch of a man on a bike with a grand moustache. I was so proud of it that I mailed it to my friend in the UK, all the way from South Africa, beaming with excitement over my artistic achievement.

That moment sparked a lifelong passion for all things creative. From then on, my bedroom floor vanished beneath a sea of art supplies—boxes of materials, ribbons, canvases, and paper, anything I could get my hands on. I pursued art through GCSE, then onto university, where I earned a BA Honours in the subject I love.
But after having my first child, life took over, and my brushes gathered dust. For years, I barely had time to create—until I discovered The Seasons Art Class. This incredible journey has reignited my passion, throwing me headfirst back into the world of art. And I’m loving every second of it!
Xana – Tutor
I have always been a lover of all things artistic and creative; painting, drawing, sewing, crochet, and crafting were not just my hobbies but a way of expressing joy and making sense of the world. As I graduated from finger paints and crayons to pastels and acrylics, I found my colourful, vibrant style. My love for colour, pattern, and design is reflected not only in my art but also in my distinctive dress sense!

I trained as a primary school teacher but I found that balancing my family life with the demands of the job was unsustainable, however, my passion for teaching and nurturing others was as strong as ever. I have been so lucky to have found my niche at Seasons, sharing my love for art in an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to explore their creativity. I find so many of our students start lacking in confidence but when they see the remarkable things they can produce they begin to fly and that makes me so proud.
Art Classes at The Jelleyman’s Mill
This historic site in Kidderminster has seen its character fade over the years.
Francis Jelleyman built the Mill in 1874 for his rope, twine, and tarpaulin business. Around 1890, he shifted to carpet production. Remarkably, many original features of the Mill are still present today.
To preserve this historic site from being sold to developers, The Jelleyman’s Heritage Arts Charity has been established. Their mission is to rejuvenate the site and celebrate Kidderminster’s rich heritage in creative endeavours. They aim to foster a community of individuals, businesses, and groups in Kidderminster, linking the past, present, and future of Jelleyman’s Mill. Seasons Art Class Wyre Forest is proud to be a founding resident!
The Jelleyman’s Heritage Arts Charity is keen to make the site a hub for artistic activities, and they are excited for Seasons Art Class Wyre Forest to make this our home.
