Ayrshire Art Classes
After many years of running art workshops for North and East Ayrshire councils I decided to begin my own art school from my studio. One class a week became seven due to popularity and demand, however now after 18 years my artwork is demanding more of my time and I have had to reduce classes to four a week plus longer workshops every second Thursday.
Classes are small and friendly with no more than six students at a time. Many people come as beginners but there are also more experienced students so it is a good mix of abilities.
Please see the timetables below or follow the Facebook link below to find out more and see students artwork. Please contact me if you are interested in classes and I can let you know the availability.
