Workshops/Classes

I teach collage, mixed media and still-life painting in acrylics from my home studio in Alphington. Some workshops/classes can be just a one-off or depending on experience a booking for 4 could be recommended or even casual might suit you better. For more information about this please drop me a note on the contact page. Let me know if it is just for you or if you will be joined by a friend so I can give you a price.
