NEW PRINTMAKING WORKSHOPS - 2025
Exciting Announcement - Printmaking Workshops Are Back!
I’m excited to announce my printmaking workshops are back after a 5-year hiatus! The first is a 4-week session on the Isle of Bute, suitable for both beginners and seasoned printmakers.
Join me in my garden studio in Rothesay overlooking Rothesay Bay to experiment with mark-making, colour, masks, stencils, and more. Enjoy the creative process in a relaxed environment, free from self-criticism and perfectionism. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I’m passionate about sharing printmaking’s benefits for mental well-being. This workshop is for everyone, including those who don’t see themselves as artistic. Artists will also gain new perspectives. Book your place today!
