Further workshops are held every few weeks covering the use of collage, inks, dry materials and various other mixed media. It is suggested that you select the JUMP INTO ABSTRACT first then move onto one of the other workshops on offer.

JUMP INTO ABSTRACT - this is the introductory class, where we will explore mark making with various tools and mediums on paper.

Your personal interpretation of words, actions and feelings will become evident. There is no "need to be" perfect or precise, you will only be required to delve into your subconscious and make your marks from deep inside you.

You will be the master of your own creation.

There will be an initial demonstration showing you how the painting process begins.

Then, using word prompts to trigger feelings we will fill our paper with charcoal, pencil, and ink. Break free by using our non-dominant hand to make marks freely across a partitioned piece of paper. We will continue with collage and colour to fill your page with your own personal marks.

You will be guided every step of the way with ideas, but you will be encouraged to discover your own expression in this piece.

This class is for those wishing to get an idea of what is possible with abstract painting.

For those wishing to learn and develop further skills in abstract painting, please select one of the other options on the selected dates. There will also be workshops covering specific topics, such as abstract landscapes, animals, portraiture...

The course includes materials and notes to take home with you.

These “in person” classes, workshops and lessons is a place where you can learn to create art in a friendly, creative environment so you finally feel fulfilled.

This workshop is designed for beginners, or for those wishing to explore an intuitive/expressive painting. Come and have some fun exploring a really different way of creating art.

(Intuitive means instinctive and when used in painting, we connect with our emotions or feelings without being conscious of doing so.)

We will supply the materials used in the class and you will take your masterpiece home with you (along with notes)

We serve teas, coffees and fruit teas and biscuits. BYOB if required.

The studio is in East Molesey on the Mole River and has easy access via train, rail and offers free parking in a private road.

I can accommodate up to 4 - 6 students at a time.
