After a break from face-to-face teaching, it is lovely to be back with some seasonal offerings to revive your creativity and boost your soul.

 

Join me in-person for a one-day drawing workshop or two day retreat to keep your creativity on track and help you connect to yourself and to nature.

I will lead you through a series of drawing tasks to help you liberate your creative blocks and draw with a confident line. Focussing on shape and line you will add colour to your pages with paint and collage. 21/02/2025

I will focus on process and play, not fixed outcomes and give you permission to dance with 'what if....' to create work that is authentic and respects where you are on your artistic journey. 11/04/2025​​

You will end the day with techniques to bring to your creative practice and motivation to keep a sketchbook to mark out summer's days. 06/06/2025

"Thank you so much for a great day today! I really enjoyed the process-based approach and seeing how layering techniques can be used so effectively. I’ve already discovered lots of stuff I’ve kept at home which I can re-use. I’m planning to just try to go with whatever works for me rather than trying to create ‘in the style of’ and see what happens. 

 

I very much appreciated your guidance and encouragement and that you’d obviously spent many hours planning and collating resources. I’m going to spend a few weeks exploring different directions and then potentially take one of your online courses or another in person course to refine what I discover!"
