RED LEAF STUDIO
Bo’ness
RED LEAF STUDIO is a dedicated art space offering art classes and workshops to adults and children of all ages. It is also my working studio.
My aim is to encourage people to be creative and get involved in the arts by providing a relaxed and friendly teaching environment.
Bo'ness is within easy reach of Falkirk, South Queensferry, Edinburgh and West Lothian. Visitors will find ample free public parking available very close by on Seaview Place.
I have 20 years experience working as an art tutor with people of all ages and abilities. As well as organising and teaching my own classes I run classes and workshops for several other organisations including Artlink Central (specialising in working with adults and children with disabilities and mental health issues) and West Lothian Council.

STUDIO WORKSHOPS
Each term I run a series of one off workshops at my studio. These are designed to give a more in-depth lesson in using specific media or techniques. Or sometimes I will concentrate on a particular subject.
Workshops are suitable for all abilities as I always start with a demonstration and then work with individuals to help them get the best from the session.
Tea, coffee and home baking are provided but please bring a packed lunch to the classes which run over lunchtime.
Booking is essential as numbers are limited.
