"Under Katie’s gentle guidance and encouragement I finally overcame my initial fears about “not being good at art” and was able to engage in the class more fully. She puts everyone at ease and helps us develop at our own pace. The classes are a mix of art history, theory and practice, a great balance. Really stimulating, and I’ve signed on for more!"

I have been running these classes for over eight years now. I was surprised when I started then to find I have had many happy students return year after year!
​
I really try to be conscious of everyone's needs in the group and I keep the classes very small and safe too. One of the things I am most proud of the great 'class culture' in the classes, which really means creating community. I work hard to try to make my classes safe spaces, supporting everyone equally and encouraging a positive and fun atmosphere.
​
Please let me know if you have special needs, worries or anxieties about attending and we can have a chat about how to make the classes comfortable for you.
