Jane is an experienced art class facilitator, working both independently and for community arts organisations across the North of England.
Her teaching goals are:
- to introduce people to a broad range of art techniques and media (easily accessible at home for future art-making)
- improve practical skills and creative confidence
- encourage people to view art-making as a tool for nurturing personal wellbeing
- provide opportunities for connection to nature and companionship.
Jane’s sessions are designed to accommodate all types of learners in a friendly and supportive space - “Jane is really encouraging, very welcoming and lots fun!"
