Maker
I am a Certified Decorative Artist and Mixed Media Tutor. My tools of the trade are acrylic paints and a universal medium (fabric hardener) together with complimentary products to create clay, stone and crackle effects. I love teaching people how to create amazing projects using these mediums and I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and creative skills with you from my home studio and other venues in Warwickshire. Life get busy these days and I don't want anyone to miss out because they can't make a particular date for a workshop. With this in mind, Thursday evenings are now dedicated to my new Club Creative sessions, where you can make any project that takes your fancy, including coming up with your own ideas or designs which I will help you bring to life. Sessions will be held from 7pm-9pm most weeks. So come and join me at one of my scheduled workshops, or on a Thursday evening and let's take some time out to create together. You will be made most welcome and put at ease as I take you through your project step by step.

FAQs
These recommendations relate to both Painting and Powertex workshops. Although both are water based and non toxic Powertex is essentially a fabric hardener and even acrylic paint, once dry is permanent and will not wash out of your clothes. Both are wonderfully versatile products to use but if you are anything like me, it can get a little messy and any unnoticed splashes or spills well become permanent so:
Please DO NOT wear your best clothing, including footwear.
Please DO NOT wear rings and/or bracelets set with precious stones.
Gloves (powder/latex free) and aprons will be provided but I cannot guarantee these will protect everything.
Unless specifically stated in the workshop description, everything you need is provided including refreshments of tea or coffee but you are welcome to bring your own speciality or decaf alternatives.
All products and materials required to complete your project, gloves and aprons will be provided.
If you have booked a workshop of 4 hours or more please bring snacks and/or a packed lunch with you.
Not specifically.
There are 3 small steps into the studio, once inside everything is on one level and there are double doors to the main room.
The WC is a standard household facility and does not have disabled features (i.e. no wall mounted handles etc), but the door is larger than a standard door and I believe would allow a wheelchair/mobility aid access.
If you are unsure whether this will be suitable, or need more information please contact me directly.
There is plenty of parking space, but please note, although it is all on one level there are areas of gravel which may be a little awkward for wheelchairs/mobility aids but parking is available close to the flat paved area.
There are 3 small steps into my studio, if you are unsure whether you will be able to gain access please contact me BEFORE booking a place.
