“A very rich and comprehensive learning. Teaching style is encouraging and paced. At whatever level you are at there is much to learn as much from one another as from Brian” Nicky O I thoroughly enjoyed teaching and supporting my group of students over the 10 weeks of this Material Techniques course. I was […]
“It met my expectations completely. Did what it said on the tin. A huge amount was covered in 2 days.” Alice H A very enjoyable weekend with a group of enthusiastic students who were willing to give everything a go and weren’t shy to try it out and see what happens. Great studio atmosphere created […]
“Excellent, full on experience. Lots of tools and inspiration Neal T I was so pleased to be teaching this course for the first time since lockdown. Even if student numbers are still low, I am determined to continue as normal as possible as I am reluctant to cancel any more courses. So with just 3 […]
“I Have learnt how to create textures, light and shade, how to construct a portrait. I enjoyed all of it.” Jana W Once again my students showed great concentration and worked eagerly, producing impressive outcomes. Although they had not attempted portrait painting before, and it was quite a daunting task (especially the self-portrait exercise), they […]
“Fantastic course, amazing venue and well worth the price.” Leanne M I was impressed with how this group worked with such quiet concentration, totally focussed on their tasks and producing remarkable outcomes. They launched confidently into their final paintings on Sunday each showing increased skill in handling acrylic paint and colour use. They really enjoyed […]
“[The course] has given me a better knowledge of the basic art concepts which has given me more confidence to teach.” Rebecca L This course was booked by a Rochdale Primary school as CPD training for a group of their teaching staff. Primary school teachers are not usually specialist art teachers so it was enlightening […]
“A strong focus on technique so you can then work on that later to improve longer term as well.” Craig M A small group of students braved the wonderful mild early autumn weather and enjoyed a day and half of drawing outdoors around Ancoats. We enjoyed the atmosphere of sketching outdoors on Saturday afternoon, while […]
I’ve learnt loads but I think the most important bit for me was measurement! My drawing will certainly improve now I have this technique! Anna P It was wonderful being back in the studio teaching, after our summer break. A wonderful group of students who were so excited about learning both the technical drawing techniques […]
“The right amount of structure and freedom to move forward making pictures.” Kathryn F The Art + Creativity course was a delight to teach this term. We focused on Drawing skills and it was wonderful that everyone managed to find that bit of extra time at home each week to continue working on the projects […]
“All was excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend of learning and practice.” Sue M The level 2 course went very well. The students were very happy and pleased with what they achieved. They worked very hard and were very focussed. The portraiture and interiors theme offered students additional challenges from those they faced in the level […]
I gained more confidence over the 2 days and feel inspired to keep going! Helene E I always enjoy teaching the beginners course. It’s my chance to ensure every student receives a solid grounding in all the basics of drawing and painting and leaves enthused through feeling confident in using the drawing techniques to […]
I’m excited to continue painting at home now I know how to.” Lauren H Although we have restricted numbers and we are adhering to covid safety measures, it has been wonderful to return to the studio to teach acrylic painting. This was a delightful group of friendly and enthusiastic students who all showed great progress […]
“It will help me to work towards finished pieces in a more professional manner. Place of no fear, trial and error.” Judi B I love teaching the sketchbooks course. There is so much more that people can do with sketchbooks other than use them as a convenient place to do their sketching. There is a […]
” Was absolutely great-thoughtfully put together to build on each session to the final piece.” Sarah K What a fabulous time was had exploring monochrome drawings! There is something magical working in just black and white with no distraction from colour. Students enjoyed a challenging and fun weekend using pencil, graphite and charcoal to create […]
“Really friendly, encouraging and informative.” Steph B I was so happy to be able to teach this course once again after the lifting of lockdown. Working with students over 6 weeks is great and is lovely to see how they are able to build on their skills week on week. Read further to find out […]
