The workshop will be run by dynamic husband-and-wife duo Rania and Simon of Cygnets Art School Notting Hill.

Rania’s academic journey took her through the halls of Chelsea School of Art, and she further honed her skills with a Master’s in Education from the College of New Jersey. With more than two decades of experience, she has not only taught art across the globe but also traversed the realms of media and fashion. Rania’s artistic flair extends to her role as a Textile artist, collaborating with esteemed institutions like the Ashmolean Museum and Oxford University, where she actively engages in curation and exhibitions.

Simon’s artistic journey blossomed at Epsom School of Art, where he delved into the realms of fashion, illustration, and photography. His foray into the fashion industry provided a solid foundation, but his true passion lay in drawing, leading him to pursue studies at the Royal Drawing School. With six years of dedicated work, Simon’s enthusiasm shines in his engagement with SEND schools and the arts.

Note: There is wheelchair access to the ground floor of the building only, not to the workshop space itself which is on the 1st Floor. Participants will be asked to remove shoes on entering. If you have any questions, please email comms@schoolofsufiteaching.org
