Summer Courses and Events 2019
There's lots happening at Greywalls Studio and around the South Lakes area over summer !
I will be teaching a range of workshops at various locations, starting in June with printmaking at the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal. It's great to be involved in their annual print week again.
I'm back at the National Trust venue, Footprint, Windermere teaching a drawing and printmaking day and in the Kentmere Valley with new venture, Cowshed Creative, at their farm pods site.
There are some half day workshops at the studio too and I'm excited to have guest artists, Lynn Kirkley and Paul Talbot-Greaves running workshops at Greywalls studio.
