About Winslow School of Art

After ten years of working in Secondary School Art & Design teaching I decided to create Winslow School of Art. Winslow was my grandmother's maiden name and she was always very proud of it and she always encouraged my Art when I was a child. The Art school has been running successfully for four years now. My aim is to nurture creativity and share the wealth of experience I have gained as a qualified Art & Design Teacher with children and adults of all abilities.

My classes have a step-by-step approach and blocks of lessons are designed to build on the skills and abilities of each participant in a gradual way that builds confidence. I also aim to provide a variety of different experiences of Art and Design including drawing and painting, design, sculpture and Crafts

I am a member of the PVG Scheme and I have received training in Safeguarding Children.
