I have worked for many years with Home Ed families to teach, nuture and support their children’s creative development.
Run regular weekly classes for most age groups. For younger groups I explore art materials and techniques to build confidence, skills and enjoyment of art. I never insist that work should look a certain way, I have clear learning intentions and hold the space for children to feel safe to find their own creative ideas. I am more than happy if a child finds a different outcome along the way and welcome their creativity and ideas.
When developing a programme I vary the content between learning how to use different materials and techniques, ideas from the children that they want to pursue and looking at other artists and art history. I have taken groups to art exhibitions and have worked in both indoor and outdoor settings.
For older groups I often support them completing their Arts Award. In these sessions I provide a range of practical workshops, supervise gallery vivits and offer one to one support with completing their portfolios and preparing for moderation.
Group sessions prices range from £5.00 -£15.00 per head when depending on the length of session and group size. This includes all materials, a sketchbook and planning. For children wanting to do Arts Award there is a moderation fee charged by Trinity College; £4.00 - £46.50 depending on the level.
