Christmas Workshops

I love getting festive and exploring winter botanicals and wildlife in my Winter Wreaths and Christmas Cards workshops! We begin the sessions by practising with watercolour and pens to create various Christmas themed elements that we’d then use in our final projects.

The Winter Wreaths class is all about creating your own wreath with holly, ivy, mistletoe, berries, pinecones and oranges. In the Christmas Card workshops you’ll design your own collection of greeting cards on blanks, ready to send to loved ones!

I’ve taught my Winter Workshops at:

• The Lunch Lounge, Southampton

• Masterpeace Studio, London

• The River Rat, Hamble

MasterPeace Studios

I’ve worked with London based MasterPeace Studio as one of their Art Instructors for their virtual classes. I’ve also designed and taught seasonal masterclasses in their Belgravia studios.

Masterclasses included:

• Fresh flowers in watercolour

• Easter Bunny

• Illustrated Christmas Cards

Wellbeing Sessions

I’ve hosted online drawing classes for workplaces and wellbeing groups where I demonstrate an hour long tutorial where all you need to join in is a pen and paper. I teach these sessions in a beginner-friendly manner and accessible to those who may only have a biro on their desk.

I share my tips and tricks on how to sketch, as well as how to take up drawing as a regular hobby to enjoy when winding down after a busy day at work or university.

Clients have included:

• Paris Smith Ltd

• University of Portsmouth’s Wellbeing Cafe

• NinetyOne

• Barton Peveril College

Botanical Letters

Illustrate a letter of your choice with beautiful botanicals in this relaxing and beginner friendly workshop! With seasonal floral references to inspire you, you’ll sketch a letter of your choice and decorate it with layers of paint in your own style. As you follow my demonstration, you’ll experiment with watercolour and gouache paint and build confidence as you develop your art practise.

I’ve taught this class online and at:

• The Sorting Office Studios, Eastleigh

• The Lunch Lounge, Southampton

Pet Portraits

I absolutely love teaching this class! I’ve composed the Pet Portrait Masterclass to be a nice, long session where we explore how to use a lightbox to trace photographs, use watercolour paints to create textures and gouache paints to apply dainty details. I really enjoy getting to know the pets and helping attendees capture their likeness!

I have taught this class at the following venues:

• The Sorting Office Studios, Eastleigh

• The d.@rt Centre at Wildern School, Hedge End

• The River Rat, Hamble
