One-on-one lessons
July special! £35 per 60 minutes.

Group lessons
I teach art to groups as well, and the rate will depend on the number of learners in the group, the location of classes, and learning objectives of the group.

Lessons with 2 or 3 people
If you want to organise a lesson with 2 or 3 people - practising art with your siblings, family members, friends or colleagues - please let me know, and it can be arranged.

Reasonable adjustments
If you have specific financial constraints that I need to be aware of, please let me know. Art should be for everyone, and I can adapt my rates within reason.
