Haven't picked up a pencil since primary? Unsure how to get started? Looking to get back to doing something creative?​
​
Join like-minded people where we look at a new theme each week, bring in our favourite materials, or learn to use new media. Teaching is flexible, learn at your own pace.
Fancy trying something new? I regularly ask if there's something specific you wish to focus on, so do say - it's your class!
​
If you wish to go ahead with your booking, I am delighted to welcome you. Please complete and submit the booking form. I will then email you the course fee payment information.
Your booking will be confirmed upon receipt of both the fully completed booking form and full fees.
Please add gilly@inspiredbygilly.com to your address book or safe senders list, otherwise my emails will sadly languish in your junk mail folder.

Thank you very much for your interest and I look forward to meeting you!

FULL CLASS DESCRIPTION
Haven’t picked up a pencil or brush in years and ready to start creating again? These relaxed classes help you to brush up on your skills, and refresh those long-lost experiences.
ABILITY: All levels are welcome; all you need is the will to create!
HOW IT WORKS:
• Each week the tutor will suggest a theme, see below for examples
• Either bring your own subject (still life, photo, etc) or use the tutor’s objects
• Enjoy two hours of personal and relaxing creativity
• The tutor is on hand to give gentle and supportive guidance
MATERIALS: Mixed media - not included. We all have different preferences, so please bring a small selection of your favourite materials on the first day. This helps to reduce class fees.
Forgotten to bring your things? Don’t worry, it happens! The tutor will have a small range of pencils and paper, available at a small cost.
REFRESHMENTS: Drinks are included in the fees.
