GAPS August - September Classes
Painting & Drawing Classes
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced artist looking to refine your skills, I offer personalised tuition in drawing and painting in a relaxed, supportive environment. Classes are designed specifically for adults, with a focus on developing practical skills, confidence and creativity through structured, small-group instruction.
Learn how to transform a much-loved photograph into a beautiful original artwork using traditional Renaissance image-transfer techniques. I'll guide you through every stage of the process—from preparing your canvas and transferring the image accurately, to developing colour, light, shadow and realistic detail with paint.
If you'd like to strengthen your drawing skills, I can also help you build confidence through the use of an art journal. You'll learn practical techniques for sketching, observation, composition, shading and colour, while developing your own artistic style through regular guided practice.
Whether your goal is to create a treasured family portrait, capture a favourite landscape, or simply enjoy the creative process, lessons are tailored to your individual interests and skill level.

Pottery Classes
Discover the satisfaction of creating beautiful ceramics by hand in a relaxed, friendly studio. Whether you're making your very first mug or developing your own unique style, classes are designed to give you the confidence and skills to bring your ideas to life.
With a maximum of six students in each hand-building class, you'll receive plenty of individual guidance while enjoying the creative atmosphere of working alongside other makers.
From mugs, bowls and plates to sculptures, ornaments, planters, jewellery, serving ware and home décor—if you can imagine it, you can create it with clay. You'll learn a wide range of techniques including slab building, pinch pots, coil construction, texturing, carving, botanical impressions, underglaze decoration and glazing to create beautiful, functional pieces you'll treasure for years.
For those wanting to explore wheel throwing, I also have two pottery wheels available. Whether you'd like to have a go for the first time or continue developing your throwing skills, tuition is available as part of your learning experience.
No previous experience is necessary—all materials, firing and glazing are included. Simply bring your creativity and enjoy the process of making something uniquely your own.
