OF STUDENT WORK 

FROM RECENT CLASSES

"Clare is an inspirational teacher and her studio is a lovely space, I love the classes !"

"I learned so much on the autumn course and am really looking forward to next term"

"Clare is very encouraging and I am thrilled with what I achieved.

I have framed some of my work !"

I call the classes I teach ART JOY as I believe that getting in touch with our creativity, expressing ourselves and making pictures that we are proud of does give us joy. It doesn't matter if you haven't picked up a pencil since school, or if you're already an artist, everyone is welcome to my classes.

 

I teach in an informal and friendly way as I show you enjoyable and fun techniques. I will help you to grow in confidence as you learn how to draw. I will demonstrate everything I ask you to do and you will learn step by step.  

I love sharing my creativity, my experience, and my lovely studio for the small group art classes that I run.

I teach a maximum of four students in my classes so I can give you a lot of my time and attention.

 

The studio is a relaxed environment and there is always time for a cuppa. The classes are an opportunity to get to know like minded people. Why not come along with a couple of friends !
