Bespoke Courses
I also run bespoke courses so if you have a group that would like to do something together get in touch. Depending on the subject, I could run a one-off workshop for you (as an unusual birthday celebration??) or a short series. For example, I can put on a 5-week course in papier mâché where you can learn how to make your own animal. this could be online if you aren’t local to Macclesfield. Or I can do a one-off session, showing you how to make simple concertina books, recycling found materials. I can also do vouchers – maybe a present for that awkward-to-buy-for person? (That’ll teach ’em). If you have something in mind or just want to know a bit more please get in touch. I am fully DBS-checked. Prices start at £60 per group for a 2-hour session.
Payment for all courses is made at the time of booking. All your details are processed securely and your credit card details are processed via Stripe. If an event is shown as sold out, click on ‘view detail’ to be added to the waiting list.
Hurdsfield Community Hub
197A Hurdsfield Road, MacclesfieldPapier Mâché with Patty!
Come to Hurdsfield Community Hub to try your hand at some papier mâché with Patty! The 6-week Tuesday afternoon workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with some experience. If you’re new to papier mâché you will learn how to make a 4-legged creature. Dog, cat, zebra, elephant – the choice is yours! If you’ve already done one of my courses then you might want to try your hand at a bird or even a human being this time. Our basic materials will be newspaper, magazines, wire and glue. We’ll be using a flour and water paste (no nasty chemicals) which can easily be made at home. You can download the recipe here, though I will supply enough for everyone, as well as wire and masking tape. The only materials you need to bring are newspapers (too bulky to carry on my bike!) – and ideally some pictures of what you’d like to make. It could be a real animal or a fantastic beast of your own devising! Dates Session One – Tuesday, 24th February Session Two – Tuesday, 3rd March Session Three – Tuesday, 10th March Session Four – Tuesday, 17th March Session Five – Tuesday, 24th March […] ...

The next life class with a male model will take place on Friday, March 13th, 7-9 pm. Apologies if you’re superstitious! We will be working from the live model. The session is relaxed and informal. No previous experience is necessary but if you’re new to life drawing Patty will guide you through the basics. Students are encouraged to look at each other’s work and share ideas. £10 per person Please bring your own materials. This can be whatever you like to draw with – pen, pencil, charcoal, pastels.
