Launching soon! Shaun will be offering tuition in a range of fine art disciplines, which can be taken either as half-day or full-day ‘taster’ sessions – or a program of six ‘immersive’ sessions for a more intensive experience. For those seeking more personal tuition, Shaun can offer bespoke one-to-one sessions.

Complete details will be issued upon enquiry, and specific questions will be answered upon request – but please see foot of page for an outline of more general information, which answers a number of frequently asked questions.
