I know from experience that it's hard to carve out time for your own creativity when you have endless demands on your time.  Which is why doing workshops is great - you meet other people who are on the same wavelength, have a chat and challenge yourself to make something.  But you can't do workshops all the time.  They can be expensive and a bit hard to justify.  

​

I feel very lucky to have the space and the resources that I have, and I'd like to share them with a small group of women who would benefit from a weekly class with a bit of tuition, but mostly a chance to spend a few hours just painting, or making your art, without having to clear off the dining table and hang a sign around your neck telling everyone to leave you alone.  If you're a man, and this is true for you too, you are welcome.

​

From my point of view, being a full-time artist can be a bit isolating, so I would welcome the change to open my doors once a week, have a few laughs and share some tips.

​

For this reason, I am offering 6 discounted places in weekly classes to run for 8 weeks  that coincide with school terms.  There will be a very simple application process for the places (not very demanding, I promise!).   The classes will run during school hours (9.30am to 2.30pm), one day a week (day to be decided).  The classes will be $40 each, which includes a tutorial by me at the start of the class in a technique or subject matter, and guidance and input from me as you practise that technique, or as you work on your own project. 

​

There is also space for you to store your materials so that you don't have to lug them back and forth every week.  I am sorry to say that my studio is up three flights of stairs and there is no lift, so I can't accommodate wheelchair users or people who struggle with stairs.
