Workshops
Check out my current offering of energetic and exciting, bright colourful art workshops here in Shrewsbury held at the tranquil and peaceful Trinity Centre Meole Brace SY3 9HF - with excellent modern facilities and free parking.
There are weekly ART NOW! art workout classes on Monday mornings 10.30-12.30 and Thursday evenings 7-9pm. I also offer a regular Tuesday morning group 10am-midday at the Bayston Hill Memorial Hall SY3 0DR. These are taught sessions with tangible outcomes working from observation in a wide range of drawing and painting media.
Once a month I also take a plein air class at Attingham Park and I’m currently running Friday morning sessions once a month at Shrewsbury Museum.

FAQs
-
I have a BA honours degree in Fine Art from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. I also have a PGCE in secondary education art from Goldsmiths, University of London. This is one of the top training providers of art education in the country and they also produce iJADE the international Journal of Art & Design education - they have a contemporary, student centred approach to learning which I fully subscribe to. I have worked in education for the last 20 years in a wide range of contexts including state and private, national and international schools, with students of all ages including adults.

All materials for my weekly classes are included - you don’t need to bring anything apart from your own creativity!

In my weekly art-on-a-plate classes cover all drawing and painting media suitable for the shorter lessons of 2 hours. Pencil, pen, ink, soft pastels, oil pastels, collage, watercolours, gouache (opaque matt watercolour). On my day workshops, and longer courses we use acrylics.

Absolutely not - my classes are designed to be accessible to all - I can take you further on your creative journey no matter what point you start off from. I’ve had students who HATED art at school and their teacher told them not to bother but they have produced outstanding results that they are very proud of and have enjoyed making with me.
Saturday Art Workshop: Join me for a joyful day of seascape painting at the English Bridge Studios SY2 6AD (15th August) Due to the popularity of this course last year I am putting on two dates - one on the 16th of May and one on the 15th August - please select your date to book. In this art class, you will create an A3 acrylic painting on cradled birch panel (provided) of a coastal scene special to you - it could be a view of cliffs, a harbour, a marina, a boat at sea, a sunset/sunrise - a beautiful Greek island? Whatever you would like to capture with the movement of the water, waves and the effect of light on the ocean. I will take you through the process step-by-step, giving you lots of tips & tricks about painting water and landscapes, and you will create a wonderful piece of art that is ready to display on your wall as soon as you get home. A basic supply of brushes and acrylic paint will be available but you are advised to bring your own. I recommend Amsterdam acrylics and Akoya brushes (½ in filbert and a point for details). Light refreshments will be provided - please bring your own packed lunch.
