A student on the 'Art and Craft of Wood Graining' course, varnishing their sample board. This was a very confident first attempt at aged dark oak, well done.

£135

On this course you will be shown how to prepare and apply gold and silver leaf.

This picture board was made from a single sheet of MDF board cut to size and given a driftwood style paint effect. As always I used water based acrylic paints and varnishes.

Sample boards completed on the decorative paint taster course held in the new studio during December. They all achieved a high standard of finish, especially as none of them had any previous experience, and I looking forward to seeing them again on other courses starting in the Spring.

Granite & Sandstone Paint Effects Course

August 2018

A very nice and informative painting course with a pleasant and knowledgeable tutor

John Hallford

One Day Intensive Marbling Course

May 2018

The day was very enjoyable and you taught us so much in a short space of time. I was quite nervous about attending, but you immediately put me at ease. I learnt so much in that time and I’m sure that is down to the teaching skills you possess. I achieved an end result that far exceeded my expectations.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your courses. Please keep me informed of any further courses as I would love to return to learn more.

One Day Wood Graining Course

November 2017

​The course was great fun and was set in a very calm quiet studio. Simon was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutor, who patiently guided me through the wood graining taster course. I was very happy with the paint effect I was able to produce with Simon's guidance and would be confident in performing the technique again.
