Workshops
This year I have been approached by a number of schools who have asked whether I could visit to talk about my work and do some artwork with the children. As I have taught art and craft to children in the past, I was more than happy to do a session for them when time allows. These have been so enjoyed by the children and teachers that I am now making time each month to offer school sessions.
Sessions can be tailored to fit in with the school's curriculum. Some example subject ideas are:
​
-
A favourite place to be or place to spend time
-
A landmark or area for geography lesson
-
An event from history
​
I can adapt sessions to meet different needs or encourage children who wouldn't normally engage in art to `have a go'!

Emphasis is strongly placed upon using imagination rather than going straight in with paint and also on promoting self confidence through encouragement. I explain that even professional artists make mistakes! Children will learn about what its like to work as an artist and some good tips and techniques for drawing and painting.
​
I can bring and take away all the materials so school doesn't need to purchase them or clean palettes and paint brushes at the end of the day!
