Hope you’re enjoying the pleasures of a typical ‘British Summer’ ! However, it won’t be long before the nights start drawing in and your thoughts may turn to things creative…

Here are some events which you may find of interest:

14th Sept
Workshop at Hillier Gardens, Romsey

Combining acrylics and batik, using the gardens as inspiration.

28th and 29th Sept
The Steam Museum in Swindon – Workshop tasters

I will be doing two workshops as taster sessions for ‘batik novices’. Each workshop is an hour and a half.

9th Nov
St Catherine’s Hall, Christchurch – Open workshop

I will be running my own workshop locally, at St Catherine’s Hall , Christchurch. I’ve left the content of the event ‘open’, so participants can have their interests tailored to suit accordingly. Limited spaces, so booking with a £10 deposit to secure a place is recommended. The workshop will be £55 to include all materials.

Other news…
I’ve been on a number of courses to extend and diversify my own work. I have learnt more about different types of printing, unusual ways of using acrylics and oil pastels.
If you’re a member of an art group to which I have demonstrated ‘Batik’, you may like me to come and show you something different!
