SATURDAY SKETCHING DAYS

Next Sketching Day - 6th June

SKETCHING DAYS at St FAGANS. Come sketching with us at the wonderful open air museum and gardens of St Fagans! Join a small friendly group to draw & paint the spring flowers, animals, buildings or whatever takes your fancy. Only £15 for a whole day's tuition. Meet in reception 10.30, we'll work til 3.30 with a lunch break mid-day.

Don't worry if you are a complete beginner, this is a great way to start learning in a small friendly and supportive group. More experienced artists are quite welcome too. I give individual tuition and guidance to everyone throughout the day.

If you have sketching materials please bring them. If you need some let me know so I can bring them for you.

If you want to join us for the day please let me know as soon as possible so I can book you in. You need to confirm you are coming as I only wait in reception for those I know are coming. You can email me at sue.paton@ntlworld.com or call me on the mobile on 07961 358393.

Last year I ran several Sketching days at St Fagans. See our results here SKETCHING AT ST FAGANS

ART CLUBS FOR SENIOR LIVING

I am now able to offer an Art Club service for senior residential homes in Cardiff. An Art Club offers the residents the opportunity to draw, paint, learn about art and art history and partake in various crafts including scrapbooking and card making. Activities can be adapted to suit clients' abilities and preferences.
Sessions take place at the residential home in a suitable room or area, at a convenient time. The duration of a session and prices can be discussed. I can provide a recent CRB disclosure document for working with vulnerable age groups.

If you are involved with a senior residential home or have a relative living in and you think this service would be of interest and benefit to the home, please contact me to discuss the idea. I will be happy to come and meet with you if you wish. Art Cubs for Senior Living

WORKING WITH FAMILIES

I enjoy working with parents and their children, teaching Art and Crafts. If you are interested in having me over to work with your family please email me to discuss how I could help your family to learn art and craft skills and have a fantastic time in your own home. I can also help youngsters with Art homework or coursework. Click here to see some results from recent happy customers. Family Art Classes

BALMORAL CRUISE. In November I gave art lessons onboard Fred. Olsen ship Balmoral, sailing in the Caribbean. I joined her at St Lucia, and from there we visited Antigua, Dutch St Maarten, BVI Tortola and The Azores. I taught my art classes on our 'at sea' days.
