WORKSHOPS/TUITION
Why not join me in an adventure of discovery and experimentation with these wonderful painting mediums.
General Information
A selection of 1 day workshops designed to develop your creativity and interpretation of the world around you.
The workshops are held at my home studio. To allow plenty of time for individual attention, the numbers of participants will be kept to a maximum of 8 per workshop.
Investigating new mediums can be expensive so for those of you who are unfamiliar with any of the mediums, fear not, I will assist in supplying additional materials for you to try. Also a small range of supports will be available for sale.
On the 2 day mixed media workshop the texture mediums will be provided, as to buy these individually would be too expensive when just experimenting.
All workshops run from ...... 10am - 4pm.
Tea and coffee are available throughout the day.
