What a brilliant experimental workshop today!

We had to change venues at the last minute to a smaller hall, but the sun was shining and the (very good) village shop was open for business! We were looking at still-life and making what I call 'working drawings'. Perhaps 'working studies' is a better description, as these studies are in preparation for a more finished piece in the next workshop. I asked my students to look at ways of dismantling and fracturing the initial drawings they made of their still-lifes - it was challenging to see the still-life in this new way but everyone got into the swing of it and produced stunning pieces. A great day!

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.
