Thank you Tower Hill School for having me and Bob with our workshops this week.

It's been so fun helping the amazing artists at Tower Hill with their self portrait techniques. Can't wait to see their finished work!! 🎨🖼️

And I'm looking forward to helping the artists at Witney Community Primary School & Nursery with their River Learning Trust Festival of Art projects tomorrow and Thursday!

Commission for Mystic Games

A retro mural for their vintage gaming room. Such a cool place to spend the day painting.

Pop in and head upstairs next time you're in town to see the awesome set up Mystics have got going on.

Medals! 🥰

Last week we made gorgeous, twinkly medals for the special people in our lives.

The vast majority had incredibly touching messages written on them. I couldn't post those heartfelt writings, no matter how stunning the medals were.

It makes me so proud knowing that my Art Clubbers feel confident enough to create such touching pieces of art, and to share them with me.

It was wonderful to see the love last week. This week we're going all in for laughter - watch this space 🤭

Rice rice baby!

Last week we created our own island maps using rice as a template. The detail was brilliant, and we got lots of sneaky writing and descriptive words in our pictures too. I love mixing art with English - it adds another dimension entirely!

Have a great weekend!

Inspired by E in my Thursday group and her love of all things cottagecore, I created a glowing paperbag house session this week.

I was blown away by how awesome they all looked. Tissue paper is such an amazing medium!

Well done everyone, and have a wonderful half term! You are all fantastic artists!!

Spring has come to Witney Community Primary School - I've been working on the Year 1 outside area this week, transforming it into an enchanted garden!

Huge thanks to The paint shed and Relics of Witney Limited for donating the paint!

Flashback to my Banksy project for the gorgeous Sunshine Class at

It was so good to give the children a tangible glimpse of street art. I loved how excited they were to write their names on the wall. I hope more children will add their names - that's the meaning behind the picture after all:
Everyone is bright, unique and a lasting memory - just like the names on the wall ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

Last week we experimented with felt tip and chalk to see what textures we could make for our robot designs.

There were some brilliant, shiny, metallic creations, and we learned just how easy texture can be with the right tools.

This week we've been making our moving robots, but I completely underestimated how long the session would take, so I haven't been able to take any pictures 😢

It's a huge shame, because the children at St Mary's knocked it out of the park yesterday afternoon, with fantastic, individual and imaginative robots. They may be my youngest group, but they are absolutely amazing artists! You've raised the bar, St Mary's!! ❤️🖌️

Last week we kicked the half term off with decoupage on the theme of Internet cats.

Some hilarious pictures came out of it and fantastic cutting out too!

I've noticed that scissor skills seem to have been affected by the pause in schooling over the past few years. Hopefully, last week's sessions have helped a bit with those skills!

We're being really brave and attacking growth mindset in this week's Art Clubs. I'm so so proud of the two groups I've already had for their resilience and perseverance. Keep an eye out for the awesome outcomes of these sessions. I'm so impressed ❤️

I still have spaces on Wednesdays at St Mary's and Thursdays at Witney CP. If you're not sure about booking, take a look at some of the gorgeous things Art Clubbers and their grown ups have said about my sessions! ❤️

27/12/2022

I have spaces still available for my January sessions

Witney CP - Tuesday 3:10-4:15
St Mary's - Wednesday 3 - 3:45
Witney CP - Thursday 3:10-4:15

And I'm compiling a waiting list for my Monday group at The Batt which is now full 😍

Here is a sneak peak of some of the projects lined up for next half term 👀

Making fake things look real and real things look fake. Art 101. And what better object to replicate than a cupcake.

I think we realised it is easier to make something fake look real than something real look fake, which is fantastic for those children who strive for perfection.

Personally, I don't believe perfection exists. The beauty in flaws and asymmetry is much more impactful than in airbrushed mirror images.

Anyway... I hope no-one actually ate the cupcakes!

Have a great weekend.

These cupcakes are fake!

I totally underestimated how brilliantly the Art Clubbers would make their fake cupcakes today.

If a child offers you a cupcake DO NOT EAT IT! Foam clay isn't edible

I honestly couldn't believe how much more convincing the fake cupcakes were than the real ones we made. Great work guys!

Our ultimate holiday plans. So so much variety and so much imagination. Absolutely love the thought and fun in every picture ❤️
