I started at the Royal Opera House on their apprenticeship programme, which has fuelled my enthusiasm to share theatrical scenic art and offer practical assistance on some of the fundamental techniques used in the industry.

Workshops can be tailored to meet your needs. Topics include but are not limited to:
-
Woodgraining and optional overlaid trompe l'oeil features
-
Textured surfaces such as brickwork
-
Marbling effects and finishes

Signwriting
-
Large-scale drawing and painting
