I set up The Fox Studios so that I had a bricks and mortar place in Warrington, where I could teach my passion, jewellery. I had been planning this for some time (around 3 years), before I went ahead and took the plunge. I chose Warrington for a few reasons, it's my home town, it's quite central (directly between Liverpool and Manchester) and because, well, where else would I set up jewellery classes?

I have been creative for as long as I can remember. When I left school I couldn't decide whether I wanted to do Fashion or Fine Art. I chose Fashion. I'm not quite sure why. It was an experience, and I enjoyed the journey, but I'm not sure I'm very fashionable. I have continued to sketch and paint, and have done so for many years. Due to a big life change in 2000, I started an evening class in jewellery and silversmithing and I can quite safely say I was hooked. I eventually went back to University as a mature student and finished my degree in 2008. A few short months later I was back teaching on the evening class where I'd first picked up the bug and it turned out I loved teaching.

I've been a jeweller for around 20 years now. I never expected to become a teacher, but it's something I really enjoy (and I hope it's something I'm good at, students do keep returning). I try to tailor the learning experience to the individual student, so that you can get the most out of the course.

I attended the oil painting workshop with Janice Lazzarich at the Fox studios in Warrington and had a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting experience. I hadn't used oil paints before (it was only the second time I had painted) and Janice was really helpful in setting me up with paints, an image to paint and then talking me through the basics of how to prepare and set-up. She then sat with me (and the other painters) for the whole session offering advice and ideas in a really friendly way which made me feel really comfortable. All of the paints, brushes and various cleaning liquids were provided as were tea, coffee and biscuits. The only thing I needed to buy was the canvass but at £4 that was fine. Clearly, Janice is a fantastic painter herself but she didn't make me feel in any way inferior and was really encouraging throughout. In addition there were other painters at the session who were all really friendly and made it an enjoyable afternoon.
I would definitely recommend the workshop for anyone interested in having a go at painting.

Teacher's response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It really helps us to let other people know about the class. We are so glad you enjoyed the afternoon and hope you are able to attend the workshop again in the future.
