WEBSITE WORKSHOPS
Want a website but not sure where to begin?  I offer a selection of bespoke website building workshop sessions which are suited for those who lack programming and html skills but are interested in setting up a simple, easy-to-use website they can update anytime and anywhere, without the help of a web designer or IT specialist.  Workshops are available as one-on-one sessions or for groups of up to 8 people.  I also offer bespoke consultation services for those who have ideas for their own website, but don't want to bother setting it up or making changes themselves. 

Introduction to Creating a Website  .  £40 = 2-hour session

This workshop is designed to get you started in building your own website. I will start by taking you through basic principles to consider when designing your website before explaining what a domain name is, choosing an appropriate URL for your website, and help you get signed up to Weebly.com, a free website hosting platform that I use for my own website!  After a brief overview of how it works, I'll take you through the different functions offered by Weebly. This workshop is intended to de-mystify the web building process and give you the confidence you need to get you on your way to creating a website of your own.

Being an artist takes a lot of work - and not just in the studio! Most artists and makers need to be their own agents, graphic designers, website builders and more. Over the last 15 years I've worked as an artist, art educator and gallery curator and have learned a lot of skills along the way; during this journey, I've also met a lot of artists who want to make a business out of their craft but struggle with how to make that a reality. I believe my experiences in the creative sector are a valuable asset in helping others find their way, and offer personalized art consultation services that cover a wide range of topics. So, whether you're an artist or creative maker of things who struggles with things like pricing, approaching galleries, building a website, self-promotion or marketing - I'm here for you.  We'll start with a free, introductory meeting to discuss what you're struggling with and what you'd like to achieve. From there we'll make a plan and meet as often as necessary and I'll help you get on the right track. To schedule an introductory meeting orto get more information, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!

This workshop starts with an overview of basic design principles such as balance, proportion and composition before moving on to more creative art processes. Participants will also be shown how to use everyday items to create texture and how to distress a working surface before getting started in collage. Found objects, paint and discarded materials will be the source of inspiration for creating a nostalgic piece of art.

The workshop fee includes a piece of 6"x6"x.5" birch plywood and basic materials, but participants are encouraged to bring items that hold special significance to them such as ribbon, buttons, images cut from books, etc.
