Your teacher
The purpose of the Garden Studio workshops is to invite people into my Garden Studio to share the skills that I have developed working in a wide range of materials as a designer and maker for 30 years in the theatre, creating sets, props, and puppets. Most of my work has involved making something that I have not made before, so there has been an element of learning in every project that I have done. I strongly believe in having a go, experimenting, and learning from your mistakes.Over the past 20 years, I have run workshops in both 2D and 3D art forms for diverse groups, including BTEC and university students, older people, autistic groups, teenagers, and children, and approach teaching with a light touch and like to encourage people's latent creativity. I enjoy the practical aspect of showing people how to use tools and working with materials that they might not have worked with before.In recent years, I have been developing my own work as an artist - in particular drawing, collage, and creating sculptures out of found wood and stone carving.The classes will also be supported by my partner, who is a highly experienced sculptor who works in wax and clay and carves in stone, creating naturalistic and abstracted figures.The workshops I run are a chance to take time out of the fast pace of modern life and allow yourself to develop the creativity which exists in us all. They are an opportunity to use your eyes, hands, and physically engage with the materials you are using in ways that are mindful, absorbing, and playful.And in between moments of quiet concentrated activity, there will be chats and laughs and tea and lunch - an opportunity to get to know people in an unpressured way. And if the weather is nice, we can sit in the garden for tea!
