Workshops, Talks, Radio Broadcasting, and Writing
Artist Facilitator
As an artist facilitator, I run art workshops and one-to-one art sessions for both adults and children, largely at Arty Farty Retreat in Southborough, Kent. Covering various media, including watercolour, oil painting, printing, and craft projects, the sessions are tailored to individuals’ needs – focusing on different areas, such as the core skills and techniques, or facilitating expression and relaxation through art. I focus on creating an engaging, stimulating, and welcoming environment for all, and work with individuals with SEND, including classes at a special needs secondary school.
The workshops I run at Arty Farty Retreat (Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent):
Watercolour Mornings (adults). Tuesdays 10.30-12
Oil Painting Afternoons (adults). Wednesday 12.30-2
AFSchool (primary school age home education group). Friday 10-12.
I Want to Paint (adults). Saturday 10-12
1to1 Art tuition and expression sessions (including Arts Awards).

Talks on Artists
I write and present regular talks on artists throughout history, to people in care homes, and to local groups. This facilitates discussion and engagement with stimulating art topics and helps to promote social interaction and wellbeing, as well as understanding of and appreciation for art.
