Newlyn School of Art

In October I will be teaching the 3 day figure course and will be a regular tutor on the Life Drawing Evening Sessions at the new Art School opening in Newlyn .
Opening its doors for the first time in September 2011, Newlyn School of Art is a dynamic and innovative art school situated in the heart of the famous artistic colony of Newlyn a few hundred yards from where the Forbes School of Painting was run by Stanhope Forbes, the ‘Father’ of the Newlyn School of Painters, between 1899 and 1938.

The School provides a wide range of high quality and exciting short art courses in disciplines such as painting, drawing, printmaking, stone carving and art history; all taught by some of the most well known artists working in Cornwall today.

There will be regular Professional Development workshops through which artists have the opportunity to take part in year round technical and curatorial skills training provided by Newlyn School of Art in association with Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange and Creative Skills.
In addition the school provides evening talks for the public given by local and visiting artists, critics and curators. http://www.newlynartschool.co.uk/
