Saturday 27th November
This Autumn, a one-day workshop for adults in making mosaics from recycled and found materials, using a technique known as Pique Assiette. By the end of the day you will be well on the way to having two beautiful mosaic panels for your home.

REGULAR CLASSES
SATURDAY MORNINGS: 10.30am to 12.00pm - At the STEVENSON CENTRE, Great, Cornard, Sudbury. Price £8 per week.
During school term time, a class for Adults, in painting and drawing. Working mainly in Watercolour, but other media such as Pastels and Line and Wash are occasionally explored. All levels including complete beginners are welcome. Places are booked per term, but newcomers can try out a single class at anytime, without obligation (subject to availability.)
*** Please note this class is currently fully booked. To place yourself on the waiting list please email me your name, address and contact info and I will notify you when a place becomes free. This does not obligate you in any way to take the place when it comes up. I will also mail you about any additional classes/courses I run during the year.
PRIVATE TUITION
If you do not wish or are unable to attend a group class, private tuition tailored to your needs is possible. The price for this is £21 per hour, and you will need to come to Sudbury. Occasionally I am available to travel to the elderly or disabled, petrol costs will be charged. Private tuition costs need not be prohibitive, it is possible to achieve much progress with as little as one session per month, with 'homework' given in between should you wish.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
I am happy to consider community projects, please contact me with full details, and I will email you my charges. I have taught 3 year olds, elderly people in residential care, and every age in between. For your peace of mind I am CRB checked, I can also supply art materials if required. Please note I do not currently teach Oil Painting.
DEMONSTRATIONS AND WORKSHOPS
I offer demonstrations and workshops, availability subject to other work commitments. Occasionally I can do an evening session. Demonstrations are usually of Watercolour techniques, but I can tailor the session to your needs.
NOTE TO ART GROUPS! I am often asked to demonstrate Watercolour techniques at an easel. Watercolour is fluid and wet, it's success is reliant on controlling the amount and flow of water, an easel makes this impossible! I realise people need to see, but if there are more people than can comfortably gather round a table, you will need to have a camera and screen set up of some kind so I can work flat.
