A really enjoyable day's workshop today...




...called 'still-life in the context of the room'. I put a large jar with two sticks on each table and asked the students to bring a still life and place it in front of the jar. The two sticks created a V-shape through which they looked at the rest of the room. It was a way of looking at how the still-life related to the rest of the room rather than looking at the still-life in isolation. As ever, the workshop was 'open' meaning that some people brought projects from home. Lovely work from everyone.

About this site...
 
I am an art teacher living and working in Dorset.  I have taught for the Adult Education Service and the University of Bath, plus some supply teaching in my local schools but now I run my courses privately. This site is intended as an addition to my teaching, primarily now to showcase the Sunday workshops I run.
 
All lessons are also available for any one anywhere who would like some ideas on what to teach, what to learn or is just interested in seeing what we do.
 
I'm afraid I won't be able to answer emails asking for comments on anyone's work (other than for currently enrolled students).
 
I run Sunday workshops, one every month and a short summer school.. Other than that I spend every available moment in my studio or drawing and painting elsewhere.
 
I studied for four years at The Slade School of Fine Art where I was awarded The Slade Prize on graduation. I went on to travel and study further finally doing a P.G.C.E at Exeter University with Ted Wragg as my mentor. It was a wonderful year of education which set me in good stead for my years of teaching since then.
