Art Talks and Workshops for Art Clubs
|
I offer talks and workshops to art clubs and art groups in Surrey, Sussex and beyond.
My fee for a 2-3 hour workshop is £150 inc VAT. I can provide materials at additional cost. Currently I am offering 2 different charcoal workshops (see below). Each workshop lasts 2 hours with a break in between the talk and the workshop. Some customisation is available as required. For example, some clubs do not want the workshop element because of space or material restrictions. Please contact me to discuss booking me to teach workshops. |
