Mission
Cultural Layer is a club that hosts events for emotional renewal and aesthetic growth. Our mission is to make the most complex and mysterious aspects of the art world accessible and engaging. We believe that art is first and foremost a personal experience — not just an academic discipline.
Through lectures, art practices, workshops, and corporate events in Berkshire, we help people find their own way into the world of art.

Oil Painting — Art Reset
Sometimes all you need to restore balance is a brush and a quiet space.
Our oil painting sessions are neither sip & paint entertainment nor formal academic classes.
They are for those who seek stillness, focus, and inspiration — a pause in the middle of the week to reconnect with beauty.
Guided by artist Andrey Novikov, you’ll create your own oil painting while discovering the language of light and colour.
No experience required — only curiosity and openness.
For anyone who wants to step away from screens and rediscover the creative self.
All levels welcome.
✳️ Each of our classes is unique — we never repeat the same theme twice.
✳️ What Makes It Different Unlike casual paint & sip evenings, this experience is not about entertainment — it’s about presence, attention, and artistic flow.
A refined creative practice for the mind, senses, and soul.
Venue: Reading Biscuit Factory,

Sketching — freedom on paper
You don’t need to be a professional, and you don’t need to impress anyone. Sketching is a way to be alone with your impressions, clear your head of unnecessary thoughts, and let your creative side emerge without the weight of expectations.
Our sessions are guided by a professional artist and experienced teacher. You’ll explore techniques, tips and tricks that will help you keep a personal visual diary and sharpen your sense of observation. Sketching combines both relaxation and learning — it’s time to unwind, and at the same time, a step forward in your creativity.
