I have a varied programme of workshops and painting breaks based at several art centres around the UK, some of which are new for this year. I will also be running my own local, Paignton-based one-day workshops at Collaton St Mary. Details of these can be found at the foot of this page.

The courses below can be booked directly through the respective art venues.
To book a place on one of my own one-day workshops, in Paignton, please get in touch with me via the contact form.
