I have over 8 years experience in running creative art workshops specialising in monoprinting, gelatine plate monoprinting, drypoint, ezy-carve relief printing and artists books.
My workshops run from 3 hours up to 2 days, and all levels of experience can be catered for. I am particularly interested in giving a fresh creative experience with no pressure to produce a masterpiece, but just to have fun exploring ink, paper, and plant materials. You don't need to be able to draw or paint, just have an open mind and be ready to go out of your comfort zone and find your creative self. You will always take home something....it may be a finished work, the starting point for a new mixed media work, or just renewed enthusiasm and inspiration.
To be kept informed of upcoming workshops (and other interesting events like exhibitions etc), please join my mailing list. (probably only useful if you live in South-East Queensland!).
If you're interested in hearing a couple of times a month about what I'm doing in my art studio, please subscribe to my blog posts. Instructions are here. (great for anyone anywhere in the world!)
