Common Questions About Our Classes
Answers to what students and parents ask most before enrolling
Do I need any prior experience to join a class?
No. Most of our classes, including painting fundamentals and sketching instruction, are structured for beginners. We also offer intermediate and advanced tracks for students who already have some experience.
What age groups do you accept?
We teach children from age 6 through adults of all ages. Children's classes are grouped by age range, while teen and adult classes are grouped by skill level rather than age.
What materials are provided in class?
Basic materials such as paper, pencils, brushes, and paints are provided for group classes. Students in advanced or private sessions may be asked to bring specific supplies, which we list before the first session.
Can I book a single workshop instead of a full course?
Yes. Watercolor landscape workshops and select group sessions are available as standalone bookings, separate from our multi-week courses, so you can try a class before committing longer term.
How are private lessons scheduled?
Private one-on-one lessons are arranged directly with an instructor based on your availability and goals. We recommend contacting the studio to check current openings for your preferred days and times.
Where is the studio located?
Rookery Retreat Studios is located in Cairo, Egypt. Exact directions and parking information are shared with students after enrollment or upon request.
