Workshops & Studio
As a practicing artist, I regularly give talks, demonstrations and interactive workshops.
My workshops - which take place in my purpose built studio - 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 a range of levels and experience, from beginners to improvers and advanced learners, I also support many working professionals requiring creative continuous development. The formats of my workshops are flexible, from singular sessions for art or craft guilds, a series of themed workshops for community groups, through to longer contracts for e.g. Art in Health organisations.
My workshops run from 10am - 4pm and cost £75 per person. This includes lunch, refreshments and equipment.
