I've just been planning workshops for next year.
Going to send off proposals to Bungay for workshops at The Art Trading Company - which run in the little studio space behind Sue's fantastic art shop.
SCVA has asked me to send in ideas for various workshops this autumn and winter - linking to the new exhibition Fiji - Art and Life in the Pacific so I'm working on those too.
Whilst at it, I thought I'd really like to extend the offer of workshops in my barn (well cart shed!) studio as well as at other venues.
So I have put together an information sheet, outlining subject areas for which I have the skills to facilitate and that I believe you, or people you know, will enjoy exploring.
Do have a little read below and let me know if there are any that interest you:
Thank you!

Useful ‘critique’ sessions
I’ll help you plan the exciting development of your artwork. Bring along work you have been doing. At each meeting you receive (and can give) constructive feedback and take home lots of ideas.
(2 hour sessions, day or evening)
I’ll help you set up your own (free) website and teach you the know-how to update it yourself.
If you need some personal teaching, do talk to me about it. Any of the courses and workshops from the above lists can be covered 1-2-1.
Tailor-Made Learning
If there is something specific you want to learn, on your own or as a small group, please do ask.
I’ll probably be able to help – or know someone who can.
Also, do you have a group of friends who’d love a day out to make beautiful personalised keepsakes? Decorate bunting, cushion covers, tea towels and more.
For a lovely chilled ‘Hen-do’ activity, let me help you bring your ideas to reality. With a delicious lunch, a glass of bubbly (we’re on a bus route!) plus tea & homemade cake in vintage crockery, it’s a great way to celebrate a special anniversary or occasion. Contact me for more themes and details.
