Workshop Programme 2010
As
a practicing artist, I regularly give talks, demonstrations and
practical workshops. My workshops draw on Story-telling
for inspiration, and range from Collage Techniques, to
Mixed Media and Stitching in Fabric and Fibres. The
sessions are tailor-made to suit beginners, improvers and
advanced learners, as well as working professionals requiring
creative continuous development. The formats of workshops are
flexible; I can do singular sessions for art or craft guilds, a
series of themed workshops for community groups, or longer
contracts for e.g. Art in Health organisations.
In
2010
I now run workshops from my new studio space, mostly one day
free standing format. Please see programme below for the spring
themes currently on offer, just get in touch for a booking form.
In addition I can also provide commissioned workshops here for
‘ready-made’ groups, please get in touch to discuss contents and
costs.
Previous clients include Gateway Community Art, Borderland
Voices (Art on Referral), Mum Artist Makers (MAM), Embroiderers’
Guilds, Art Groups, Weavers’ & Spinners’ Guilds, and Women’s
Institutes.
All enquiries are welcome; please contact me for further
information regarding fees, contents and availability.
