Courses
It’s tremendously rewarding to see others produce wonderful work from my studio. A student visited a Hockney exhibition and she made a wonderful 10 piece desert set inspired by his paintings. Another visits Malta and has produced some amazing panels depicting scenes from her visits.
My professional studio is nestled among rolling hills in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside. Newent a pleasant market town is 3 miles; Gloucester, Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye each about 8 miles; the Malvern Hills, Forest of Dean, Wye Valley and Cotswolds are all within easy reach.
All courses are tailored to the abilities of the learner and are suitable for those from complete beginners to intermediate level.
