You’ll receive the videos and subject-matter (as above) but in addition you’ll be able to email me photos of your completed artwork for a personal critique, with any questions that occurred to you during the creation of your masterpiece!

In addition to all the above, you’ll also be given a link to join me every week in my studio via Zoom where I’ll be able to give you one to one advice as your artwork develops. These have been such good fun over the past year and the groups have been a great support to each other.

This is what we’ve all been waiting for… Not only will you receive the videos, subject-matter and access to email critiques but you’ll also be able to attend classes in person! For this term the classes are limited to a few locations. In each location there is extensive parking, great lighting, heating and plenty of space for ‘distancing’ as required.
