COVID UPDATE REGARDING CLASSES
At present I have 2 classes scheduled for late August and September, both these classes will probably be postponed to later in the year. These may be the only classes for 2021 because of lock down and the busier pre Christmas period. If you would like to join one of these classes you still can OR you can contact me and I will keep you posted about the dates.

One of my students inking up in orange Caligo ink.
The inks I use are great quality oil based but still water wash up so fairly low toxicity.

I'm enjoying seeing my daughter's creations every time she brings them home"

"Our son had a great year with Maggie's art classes last year. she covers classic drawing techniques as well as craft activities using innovative materials and seems to know how to make her students think creatively.
Our son is always happy after her class, which in itself shows her ability to connect with children."
Working in charoal - tonal drawings of themselves .
Charcoal Portraits - working with soft charcoal and a black page the students used a rubber to pick out the light tone - while working with the photograph upside down beside them .
Enjoying plein air painting - kids painted directly onto plywood inspired by their surroundings.
Red, red, red + great turquoise combination.
Nothing boring about staring at a brick wall !
Today I brought in some chive and sage flowers in vintage glass bottles - this is Lily's painting.
Fearghus made a stylish box person last week, we were inspired we were inspired by examples in Usborne's "365 things to do with
paper and cardboard".
