Monday Art Class

Teaching art/drawing is a huge part of being an artist for me. I have always had an element of teaching going on whether that's been at art clubs demonstrating, teaching 1.1 or teaching in schools and colleges. After having my daughter, we made the decision that going back to run the Level 2 Art and Design course at Weston College was not going to work around raising her. However, I couldn't let the teaching bug go! 
I have always wanted to run my own art classes, in our village a new community centre was being set up and I felt I had no reason not to give it a go. 

The idea around the classes is for them to provide a space for creatives to spend time working on their own projects, paintings and drawings. People find it difficult to make time for their creative pursuits and by committing to a weekly session they have time to be totally absorbed by their creative outlet with no distractions. 

The classes are relaxed, fun and friendly for all abilities. I do demonstrations, offer advice, tips and tricks where necessary. Currently we're a small group but I hope to continue to grow, I would eventually like to run day time classes and potentially Saturday groups for children. 

The classes are two hours long and bring your own materials. You can pay for a full term or weekly.
