New Products

My latest tea towels, ‘Lemons’ and ‘Oranges’ are now nearly sold out, just a few left.

Now only one of the ‘Pandemonium of Parrots’ cushions left.

Zoom Classes

The Zoom classes have proved so successful and such an effective way of learning techniques that I will be continuing with these alongside studio based workshops for 2025/26.  Usually every two weeks my Zoom ‘Studio Days’ are a good way of progressing with demos and advice from me and the chance to chat to other like minded artists.  Suitable for all levels as you work at your own pace on subjects you have chosen.

The next Zoom Beginners Two Day workshop will be 4 & 6 November details will be posted soon.

On-Line Tuition

The on-line tuition program will continue at the reduced rate for the foreseeable with new places added regularly so you can join at any time to suit you. Now I am back teaching face-to-face and still teaching regularly on Zoom I will endeavor to return feedback within two weeks but this may be stretched with teaching commitments but this shouldn’t stop you continuing to practice!!

Painting Holidays

SPAIN
Good news I will be returning to the lovely Finca el Cerillo in 2026 from 23 – 30 May & 14 – 21 November. Email me if you are interested in either dates and I will send you the details.

FRANCE

After several successful trips to the delightful Atelier Clos Mirabel in Southern France near the Pyrenees II will be returning from 25 April – 2 May 2026. So if you fancy joining me there we still have rooms available, the food is all home grown and cooked from fresh plus delicious local wines and fabulous views across to the Pyrenees.  Email me to get your name down if interested as this is a very popular venue and check with Clos Mirabel direct for room choices.

On-Line Equipment Orders and Shop
