We focus on a range of disciplines such as - Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media, and Sculpture within these courses.
The term is broken into a combination of tutor and student-initiated sessions, whereby I do demonstrations and structured lessons for some of the time, and then I encourage students to follow what they would like to focus on. Within the class, each student is working on their own projects and working at their own pace and from their own level of ability. This I find is really beneficial in the fact students are more likely to compare their current work with their own past work and not against someone else's work in the class. They are on their own journey.
Classes are for ages 9 through to adults. Up to 8 students per class.
They are run from my home studio in Howick and they have been going since 2007.
I also like to help teenage art students with their College artboard work. I offer one-on-one lessons, group lessons, and casual lessons within the group class times.

Come and join us and learn how to do that lovely drawing or painting for yourself or that special someone in your life. (Xmas is just around the corner!) Or try your hand at clay work or Sculpture for a change. You can research your own themes/ideas and work at your own pace to get them done. Your tutor will explain the techniques you will need and encourage you to explore different media along the way.
Hope to hear from you.

So be in quick. Our courses are there for people from absolute beginner to intermediate ability. From ages 9 through to adults.
Our focus is on drawing, painting, and sculpture, as these are great disciplines that inform each other. But you can choose to focus on one of them if you like.
The art development course projects are student and tutor-initiated, which means we follow you and your ideas and exploration and show you techniques along the way. And we also stop the class on occasion to show specific techniques to the whole group.
Classes run after school and on Saturday mornings from - Megan Murphy's home studio, a local artist.
The school has been running since 2007 and we are proud to say we have had students who have stayed with us for up to 5 years.
