as a full painting medium. Small classes (around 5 people) to
ensure plenty of individual tuition. Painting and tuition will

Workshops
Why not organise a soft
pastel workshop for your group - either a full day or morning,
afternoon / evening. These are both fun and interesting events
for all ages. I normally start with a short demonstration leaving
plenty of time for people to paint and have individual tuition.
As a qualified tutor of
many years, and a Professional Associate and Demonstrator of the
SAA
I have taught many classes and workshops in residential and non
residential Adult Education Colleges. 
I have also demonstrated
the Art of Soft Pastel Painting to Art Groups in the North of
England, and at many exhibitions, together with running a number
of fun, team building sessions for companies under the Investors
in People banner.
All my teaching features
thoughtful, personal tuition to help students identify the variety
of styles of picture making and encourage them to create their
own style and preferences, plus lots of hints and tips on the
techniques used by the professionals!
