Advanced Oil & Cold Wax - 16th November 2024

The workshop will also include tutor demonstrations, time for experimentation and play and a chance for you to have a close look at my work and ask me any questions. There will also be time for 1:1 critiques of previous work if this is something that you feel you would benefit from.

‘I can’t recommend Laura’s cold wax and oil workshop highly enough. It’s a method I’ve been wanting to explore for some time . Her way of explaining the various mixing and layering techniques and her encouragement of intuitive, free and loose mark-making was exactly what I wanted. I’m now working on pieces at home and loving the process.
