​ and workshops
With over 25 year experience in the arts and over 18 in running art workshops in the community I am happy to offer art workshops in many creative disciplines individually tailored to you or your clients needs.
I have experience with all ages and most needs. I have also worked in Further Education delivery UAL L3 teaching to 16 plus years, as well as in school settings with Key Stage 3 and 4 students.
I have been printmaking in some form or other since 2007. I previously offered a programme of weekend printmaking courses in Linocut, drypoint and Collagraph printmaking techniques to small groups in my studio when I lived in the lovely Market place setting of Reepham, Norfolk.
As an Artist I am always trying to develop my own practice by trying out new techniques in my areas of research, as well as exhibiting locally and nationally. Art for me is a way of life and learning is also beneficial to our well being and self esteem. We also hopefully meet interesting people along the way!
I am currently open to deliver themed Art & Printmaking based workshops for groups of up to eight in various locations and with different organizations. Larger group bookings would require me to bring in an assistant, please don't hesitate to contact me for a quote.

HAVE YOU EVER MADE A COLLAGRAPH PRINT?
Collagraph comes from the Greek word Koll or Kolla meaning the glue and graph which means to draw.
It is like Collage in that you create an image by sticking on your chosen materials. The main difference between a Collagraph and a Collage is that you use the finished Collage as a Collagraph printing plate. You force ink into the texture on the plate, then Remove the excess. The final stage involves damp paper being 'lined up' or 'registered' with your collagraph plate and run through a traditional Roller Press or by working a Slama Hand Press over your paper & plate.
