“I learnt some good techniques – more than expected. Very enjoyable! Karen P Every course I teach has its own studio dynamics and this Realistic drawing course always creates a quiet focused studio. Critical observation when aiming for high accuracy takes concentration and quiet and I love this mood as it descends over the studio. […]
“Informative, fun, enjoyable, relaxed. I learnt a lot and feel confident having a go moving forward. Emily D This was a very busy class of 10 students who launched themselves enthusiastically into their painting exercises and were totally focussed throughout the weekend. They got along extremely well from the start, supporting and inspiring each other […]
“Great fun, with a lot of content. Great to try out so many different ideas. Juliet C A fabulous group of students all willing to support each other and take on board my teaching – even during the few challenging bits! I enjoyed supporting everyone to put the basics of drawing into practice and explore […]
“An in-depth look into the work of Cezanne and how to apply these skills into my own work. I was hoping to reopen the door to my creative inspiration and taking this class has allowed me to do so.” Kemi S The Cezanne workshop is the first in a series of 3 workshops about the Modern Masters – Cezanne, Matisse […]
“It’s a ‘must do’. I needed the kick-start for my confidence and the course was perfect for that purpose.” Phil W This course is scheduled to run after the Realistic drawing course and there cannot be a greater change to the atmosphere in the studio. From calm and focused to wildly energetic, experimental, and creative. […]

Fabulous students looking to learn the basics of drawing and painting and ensure they learn the important stuff that will help them develop and improve. A great group of students, the atmosphere in the studio was so […]
Moved me on. Made me more bold. Feel confident to plan and use sketchbooks to expand my levels of expertise.” Pam S I’ve been looking forward to teaching this course for a while as I only run the course twice a year. I enjoy revealing new ways for students to work in sketchbooks as students […]
“Very enjoyable though challenging at times. Hadn’t realised it would be so radical.” Debbie R A wonderful summer course with early evening sunshine streaming through the windows – always makes such a difference. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this course with the studio full of students yearning to find a new approach to drawing and perception. […]
“I feel that my way of being in relation to art has monumentally changed from my experience on this course.” Hazel B It was wonderful to be joined by 7 students on this Self-expression course – the final section of the year-long Art + Creativity course. Some students had completed the whole course in a single […]
It was fab! Really enjoyed all of it and it did what I hoped, feeing me up from trying unsuccessfully to draw what I see. Really encouraging and a safe atmosphere to take artistic risks.” Mandy R A fabulous course to teach with a fantastic group of students this weekend. Everyone seemed so willing to […]
“A refreshing and laid-back weekend which has been inspiring. Gave me the tools and ideas to go and put them into practice.” Anastasija J I teach this course just twice a year so look forward to getting absorbed into abstraction with a new group of students. The group was amazing and explored the creative challenges […]

“As an absolute acrylic novice I found this exactly what I needed!” Gerard G As usual the students got on very well together and were appreciative and supportive of each other’s work. They were all beginners who found it so useful that we start with the basics and build up with technique, knowledge and skills […]
“Fantastic experience. I learnt more than I would ever expect.” Oscar L We enjoyed wonderful weather this autumn so were able to get out and about around Ancoats and visit 3 different venues over the weekend.
