News

Welcome to the information page for my adult education classes, which  I currently teach on Thursday evenings and Saturday daytimes at Hills Road Sixth Form College, as well as at Wysing Arts on Friday evenings.

I have collected a few links to pages and YouTube videos below which I hope will be helpful to beginners and more experienced students alike.  It is by no means a exhaustive list. Do explore the internet for more ideas and techniques.
