July Newsletter

Thank you again for your patience regarding art classes. My hand is still recovering, but I am ready to go as far as classes are concerned - classes will resume as normal this week.

Classes & Workshops

Go to the "Learn" tab on the website menu to find out what's on offer. Upcoming classes are now up and ready for booking. There are some additional workshops and retreats online, so have a look to see what is coming up. The upcoming drawing 101 and drawing 102 classes are now full and starting next week. I have scheduled a new drawing 101 class starting on Saturday mornings on the first of August. If you'd like to do this course and Saturday mornings don't work for you, let me know and I will see what I can do. Due to drawing 102 classes happening on Wednesday evenings, I have dropped the kids classes on Wednesday afternoons for now. If that is a problem for you, let me know. Thursday evening kids classes are still going ahead and due to start next week. I have not yet scheduled a retreat for October or November, so if there is something you'd like to do, let me know and I will schedule it for you.

Don't forget I have recently released my book which looks at patriarchy - where it is from, how it has affected me and society in general, what has perpetuated it, reduce its impact on society. It puts forward my solution to the mess the world is currently in.

Meaningful Coincidence

More than just a coincidence, it is a dance of timing and inspiration that shapes both the art we create and the lives we lead. Step into a world where meaningful connections spark creativity and wonder at every turn.
