Evening Courses

Evening Courses in Norwich

I will once again be offering evening classes in Norwich

There are six courses to choose from this year. We will explore the resources that we have and how to use them. We will experiment with a variety of mediums, techniques and styles to further our understanding of how to improve our painting. But, mostly we will have fun! I like to think all my classes are inclusive, friendly and relaxed environments where we can enjoy being creative together!

Any illustrations of paintings on this page have been created by people whilst attending my classes. Lots of people come to me having done no art since school, all they need is a little encouragement and a positive environment to explore and discover what they can achieve!

To run from either Sewell Park Academy, St Clements Hill, Norwich, NR3 4BX

Or The Diamond Centre, Sprowston Youth Centre, School Ln, Sprowston, Norwich NR7
