CLASSES
Established in 2005 my studio provides the setting for a number of classes spread over the week. These classes are pay as you go and last for 3 hours.

With over 50 members, these sessions have grown in popularity over the years and cater for all abilities from complete beginners to experienced artists who wish to learn a new skill

My aim as a mentor, is to develop each individual to enhance their confidence and ability using different mediums. Though I predominantly work in pastel and pencil, I encourage participants to select images they wish to work with and use whichever medium they choose. 

Students also learn from each other and the groups are deliberately kept small to encourage a comfortable and pleasant working environment. 

Feedback is provided to enable growth and the production of art that you can be proud of. 
​
Many of my students have undertaken commissions of their own.

The 3 hour workshops take place on :-

Monday 9.30 - 12.30 am  and 1.00 - 4.00pm
Wednesday  9.30 - 12.30 am  and 1.00 - 4.00pm
Saturday 9.30 - 12.30 am  

Hot drinks are available throughout the workshop
The cost per person is £13.00 for the 3 hours - Your first taster session is completely free!

Materials are available to purchase, and I have a stock of images you may wish to use if you need to.
Most students go onto purchase their own equipment, but initially you may wish to utilise mine at the studio.

​Please note access to the studio is via some stairs 

WORKSHOPS
These run over 1 or 2 days and can be held at either my studio (maximum 14 people) or at an alternative venue (maximum 25 people)

I usually run these workshops on Sunday, across the year. A list of dates can be found below.

The cost of the 1 x day workshop at my studio is £55 which includes materials and quality images, alongside guidance from myself and equipment where appropriate.
