Workshops and classes

“It started with teaching a group of friends how to paint and then just expanded!”

Since 2023 I’ve been teaching creative classes and now run two regular art classes:

Romsey on a Monday evening

Nomansland in The New Forest on a Friday morning

See below for details of current classes and past events.

I am also available to run a private group workshop for you and your business, organisation or even just a group of friends and family.

In the past i’ve also done Christmas wreath making workshops as being creative doesn’t just extend to painting!

Book Art Class
“Becky is a fantastic teacher and incredible artist. The sessions are laid-back, low pressure end enjoyable. However they are also informative, and lesson focussed, cleverly designed to support different levels and individual styles to help you make visible progress. It’s a welcoming, relaxing environment with enough structure to learn and improve - plus great biscuits! Absolutely recommend 😊”

Art Classes

I run two regular art classes in the enchanting New Forest village of Nomansland and the beautiful Freedom Centre in Romsey.

Anyone is welcome to join at any point, all classes are designed for beginners and improvers.

The classes started off as an introduction to watercolour course and after it ended everyone just wanted to keep on going! I plan each week looking at a different theme, style or art material where you can suggest ideas as to what you’d like to learn.

I’ll teach you techniques and practice exercises before you can use these to create your own artwork later on in the session. I’m always available to guide you if you get stuck or you can just dive on into the creative flow.

From watercolour to acrylic, ink, gouache, tea painting and more! When the weather is good we can even do en plein air (outdoor) painting.
