- Tell me about some of your current students.
Arty classes have had various students of all ages, abilities and backgrounds over the years each and everyone unique. Starting at a young 6 year old girl in Knightsbridge - teaching her basic arts and crafts and how to use a sewing machine to helping an young Russian lady build her fashion brand and getting her work on the red carpet being worn by influential figures.
Most students study at top colleges such as Central St Martins, London College of Fashion, Chelsea College of Art, Parsons, FIT, Intituto Marangoni.
Its such a stressful time to shine - having an Arty Class mentor simplifies matters and so you don't stress your parents out! Some students request me once a week, others request me everyday, some I travel with and others I see only over Skype. We are here as much or as little as you wish this is the beauty of a creative 'Super Tutor'!
Arty Classes work with all nationalities and am respectful to each and every culture and religion. I am able to bring out the best side of my students and nurture their talents individually and in a group. Each student has progressed in their chosen art/textile direction.
Rates start at £50 and classes are a minimum of two hours.
Materials can be provided upon request.
Deadline looming? Please contact and I can help you as an emergency!
Emma has been so patient and kind to me. She will show you shapes, colours, ideas that all come from nature and imagination. Emma has helped me accomplish so many of my goals; to stitch great clothes but also helped me grow as a person. Often she sends you extra materials for you to look at and exhibitions. If you choose Emma, as your teacher make no mistake she will make you work but she will also show you yourself and how fun it can be when you are yourself and expressing that through art.
I would fully recommend Emma as a creative art tutor and find her fully respectful of our culture. We run private households for high profile families which are full of security and media attention. Loyalty, respect and hard work come effortlessly to her. Emma came to work for the family a number of years ago to help of of the girls get into CSM and sets out to achieve exactly what the brief is. We are thankful for her opening the girls eyes up to a western way of thinking.
Emma is an outstanding teacher as well as being an excellent mentor with a delightful personality. She can make the saddest of people smile and an art project worth an A*!
