Studio Update

I have a couple of workshops coming up in the next few weeks. The first, a 3 day Luscious Layers workshop at Little Heath Barn is full. However one space has become available on my 5 day Breakdown your Palette workshop at InStitches near Wokingham. The dates are Monday 27th to Friday 31st October and you can find details here.

Breakdown is my favourite workshop and the InStitches studio is a fabulous space to work in. The course fee includes lunch, biscuits and cakes all made by Hazel. Her cakes are amazing!

I’m going to be teaching at both Little Heath Barn and InStitches again next spring and there are places available on both -

• 3 day Luscious Layers at Little Heath Barn 15th to 17th April 2026, find details here.

• 5 day Breakdown Your Palette at InStitches 1st to 5th June 2026, find details here.

In other studio news I decided to start work on my next book as a way to get past the disappointment of not being able to teach in Telluride. And a way of coping with the stress of the house move. I take a lot of comfort in making my art but writing requires periods of complete focus and that is what I need right now. The book is a complete rewrite, update and expansion of my first book ‘Breakdown Your Palette’. I’m not at all sure when it will be published as the house move, when it eventually happens, will probably interrupt photography but, for now, it gives me somewhere to hide from reality.

And on the house move front … we’ve dropped the price and secured a buyer, a builder, rather than do the remedial work ourselves. Fingers crossed that third time gets us over the line ….
