Bespoke Workshops, Classes & Whimsical residentials of the ARTY kind. (including collaborations!)
Learn a new skill, re-ignite the passion for an old one & have some fun!
Creative Workshops, Classes & Residentials of the Arty Kind: Unleash your inner creative and let the journey begin!
It all begins with an idea.
My idea is to encourage you unleash your inner creative whilst having some fun!
Spend an afternoon/evening/day with friends, family or new friends, creating your very own art to take home. Join me for a guided art session, or a weekly class; even a full on residential, where you will create a picture to be proud of - whatever medium you use or level you’re starting at!
No prior art experience necessary and every opportunity will be offered to encourage you unleash your own creativity!
Here’s what a few folk have said:
’It’s given me a new life! A reason to get up and look forward to the day. I just love painting!’
Sandy
‘I love the friendship and comradery of these groups - its inspiring to be arty with others.”
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for always being optimistic and inspiring and for instilling confidence in my abilities. Lynne
I learn so much spending time with you and seeing how everyone interprets a painting challenge. It’s the highlight of my week!

JOURNALING at MOUNT EDGECUMBE
We were at The Upcycled Home in Mount Edgecumbe for a morning of Journalling. It was a time to record sights & feelings on paper with colour and words. We embraced the wonderful outdoors using pen, ink and watercolour paints, capturing moments that made our hearts sing.
If you missed this one, look out for another, coming soon!
Everyone loved it:
’You’ve given me the confidence to embrace trying new things! ‘Thank you for a wonderful morning’ ‘Could it be ALL DAY next time please - I didn’t want to stop!"‘
“We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing…”
