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.
Join me 10-4 at the Trinity Centre Meole Brace SY3 9HF for a wonderful day painting rich sun-drenched vistas. You will create an acrylic painting on A3 cradled birch panel of a wonderful memorable sunset in you favourite location - perhaps an occasion when something wonderful happened? Or might happen ! Just bring along an A3 printout of a high quality photograph of your view and i’ll help you immortalise it paint focusing on using rich prismatic layers of colour in wonderful gradation and hints of summer heat. Light refreshments provided - please bring a packed lunch. A basic supply of acrylic paints and brushes will be available but I recommend you get your own supplies for comfort and ease and continuing your work at home - I recommend Amsterdam acrylics for buttery consistency and colour range and Akoya Brushes (long handled flat filbert and a fine point) for detail.
