Workshops
Teaching art and seeing the pleasure it gives is one of the great enjoyments of my life. Do have a look at the workshops I am currently giving and if you want anything not there please contact me. I also give 1 to 1 tuition if that suits you better.
Many of these workshops are carried out at the Corn Exchange Newbury, or The Base, Greenham.
