Who we are
Our website address is: http://www.forwardcreative.co.uk.
Workshops
Public and personal liability: I remind all participants that they are responsible for themselves, their own belongings, safety and wellbeing. We will be active in public spaces and possibly on my own private property, your possessions and your own safety and wellbeing are solely your responsibility. However, neither myself or the host venue will be able to take responsibility for loss, theft, accident or damage.
Workshop policy: All-abilities welcome. Tutoring matched to each personal level within the group. A positive and friendly attitude is encouraged. Always sketching outdoors from life, unless very wet, when an indoor or undercover areas will be sought. Bring own equipment if you have any, but basic materials will be supplied and occasionally my own personal materials will be available to try or experiment with. Basic typical equipment to bring if possible; cartridge or watercolour paper/pad, pencil, eraser, fineliner pen(s) or fountain/ dip pen & ink, watercolours or coloured pencils/pastels, or charcoal. Lightweight folding stool or chair
To avoid 50% non-returnable cancellation fee, notice is required at least five days prior to the event day.
When coming by car, ensure parking limit allows for at least the duration of the workshop.
Allow for purchasing a light snack for our working lunch. Some workshops will suit a packed lunch.
Very occasionally, workshop dates and / or locations might be subject to change – I reserve the right to do this when deemed absolutely necessary.
