Classes at Fairkytes have temporarily closed due to the new lock down restrictions. Fingers crossed they'll be up and running from the 2nd December.
In the mean time I will be holding classes through zoom with limited numbers of 6 (to make sure we can all hear and speak to each other) with the same format of a class where I'll share slides on my screen of artists work for inspiration, I can change the camera so you can directly watch me demonstrate (no jostling for the best position to see), then I'll approach each person for 1-2-1 feedback just like in class. I'm offering the first session for free to see if you get on with it as I know it's not for everyone. Just get in touch through email for more details.
I've also set up a private Facebook Group, Art with Kirsten, for anyone who has previously attended my art classes and would like to stay in touch and keep creative.
“I wanted to say thank you so much for the classes I took with you, they were incredibly helpful, and it was great for me to leave the house and practice whilst engaging with other people.”
"It's been great, I had great fun, the class are a lovely bunch of people and I always look forward to your classes."
