Demonstrations & Workshops

I regularly demonstrate how to develop ideas and techniques to Art Societies.

Corporate Groups
As part of Team Bonding, Spouse Programmes or other Incentives, I have delivered Talks and practical sessions geared to the needs of the Company.

One to One
I offer one to one or small group tuition where a more intensive approach is desired. Either ongoing, or for short periods to address a particular interest, project or problem.

DEMONSTRATIONS & WORKSHOPS

All of these can be stand alone Demos or Workshops or ideally paired.   They often include slide shows to show a wide range of examples quickly and effectively.   Variations on these and particular subjects can be devised by arrangement
