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.

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.

​
