Our classes are delivered in a relaxed yet informative manner by Simon Murray.

Simon no longer takes on commissioned artwork preferring to focus 100% on airbrush tuition.

Warning!
Beware of anyone claiming their classes are supported or endorsed by Simon Murray (TM) or SM Designs. We recommend you do your research.
Here are some facts that may help you to decide which tutor to use.
We don't compete with you
SM Designs is the UK's only 100% dedicated teaching facility. We do not take on commissioned artwork as we feel this would be a conflict of interest and unfair to students. At SM Designs we prefer to focus totally on our students and actually refer paint work enquires to them when possible.
No hidden costs
The price we say is the price you pay. All equipment used for the duration of the course is free, including as much tea /coffee as you can drink throughout the day. The NI class includes cooked lunch.
All students take home their work whether it is on panels, T-shirts, false helmets or tanks, canvas boards and even car bonnets free of charge. And don't worry if you can't get it on the plane, we'll post it!
Value for money
Our classes officially run from 10 o'clock to 5 o'clock. However in all the years we've been teaching we have never finished before six o'clock and in many cases we run on to 7 or even 8 o'clock. If you take this over a three day class it usually adds up to a free days tuition!!!
No Taxis, Buses or walking.
At SM Designs we appreciate the fact that you have traveled some distance to attend our classes. Therefore we are only too glad to pick you up at the airport, boat terminal or train station. We will collect you and take you to your room and back to the airport again. Pick you up each morning and take you back to your room each evening. (Northern Ireland classes).
