Live And Love Art

Whatever your ability, Jo at Live and Love Art and Kent Art Classes and Workshops, teaches friendly day or short courses with art and design activities tailored to support your personal well being.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw, paint, collage or work creatively with pattern, stitch and fabric? I teach Art and Creative Textiles skills to absolute beginners in small and supportive classes and personalise activities to suit individuals. I go on location to teach Art outdoors at NGS gardens and private retreats and am always looking for interesting venues to take small groups of students to. Wherever I base my teaching, it is always in a nurturing environment, where learners feel valued and empowered by the artistic work they make. Paramount to my teaching philosophy is the underlying aim to improve the long term emotional wellbeing of my students.
On Mondays, I run a small and supportive lunchtime painting a drawing class and suggest Still Life arrangements, shells or other natural and tactile objects. I encourage students to try to respond by observing and drawing; to have fun and to try something new.

I also run a a Wednesday evening creative textiles class, encouraging individual expression and improving self esteem through working with materials intuitively and mindfully.

On Saturday mornings there is a KS 2 and 3 Art Club at 9. 45 -11. 15 am, £8 per session for anyone of 9 years and upwards. Parents could accompany children under 11 years of age if they wish. Activities might include painting, using 3D modelling materials, creative textiles, drawing, making rubbings and collage. I am fully DBS checked.

Saturday classes from September 2017- 11. 45-1. 45 pm are £16 each and are a mixture of painting, drawing and development into textile design for anyone of 15 and above. One-off taster sessions available.

On Saturdays from 3. 30 to 6. 30 pm I offer fun, creative twilight workshops to celebration crowds of up to 20 people; hen, birthday, baby shower groups, at a venue of choice in Kent. Materials are included in the price per person and activities are designed to suit your taste and style. Project ideas could be to make a collaborative, decorative organiser for a new mother and baby, a hanging brooch cushion for a special relative, re-invent a pair of lacy undies to use as a hosiery organiser, jewellery case or lavender wardrobe pomander. Here's a fun hen activity and the ultimate in creative expression using clay- make your perfect man or woman
