“Thank you for a very enjoyable series of workshops. I have never felt so supported in an “arty” environment before, and you really have given me the confidence to keep drawing, and to try out new techniques. You are an excellent teacher and communicator and you consistently created a comfortable environment where I felt able to contribute. This has been the best thing I have done in a long time, and that’s all down to you — thank you!”
Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists alike, you'll be introduced to a variety of mark-making techniques in a fun and pressure-free environment. We will explore artistic representations of Spring across cultures and throughout history, and how they might influence your work.
Class sizes are small to ensure you get a personalised experience.
Each workshop will have a different Spring-based theme and will use different materials. Each workshop will be a stand-alone event and will assume no prior knowledge or experience.
There is zero pressure in these workshops, and the main objective is to have fun.
With any art materials, there is always a risk of getting marks on your clothes, so please don’t wear your best crisp white shirt or anything you would be upset to get dirty.
“I had an amazing time! I learnt a lot and really enjoyed the class. I would highly recommend it to beginners and more advanced folk!”
