I am passionate about sharing my painting and printmaking experience with others. I find the students rewarding to work with because of their spontaneity and enthusiasm that often develops during the course of the workshops, and their confidence develops.

I have an approachable manner and explain the workshops clearly to the students so that they understand what they are working towards. I am happy to tailor my workshops to work with all ages and adapt them to cater to the specific topics and interests of the group.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with several schools for the Harpur Trust on their 450th Art Competition.

Workshops:

  • Printmaking – Drypoint, Monoprinting and Collograph

I can supply my printing press along with all necessary equipment which can be added to the cost of the session, or I am happy to use facilities provided by the school.

  • Textured Collage Painting (Mixed Media)

The paintings use a variety of textures and printed papers that are integrated with acrylic paints to make the final painting. Students will learn an understanding of different techniques and the effects that can be achieved using them.

Fee Structure:

£200 per day / £100 per half day (plus material costs where required)

Staff Training:

I can offer staff training sessions in all fields that I offer in schools - printmaking and textured painting. Depending on the discipline chosen they can be full or half day workshops. The workshops will be led with the students in mind and how to transfer the skills learnt in the workshop to the students with the advantages and pitfalls highlighted.
