About this teacher
I started to paint on China and Porcelain in 1973 simply for fun......which is what most students do. I found I loved it and decided to take it a lot more seriously by attending every class/course or seminar I could. I was lucky enough to work with many Artists trained in by some of the biggest companies in the "Potteries" including Royal Worcester. Eventually, in the early 80's my tutor at the time recommended me I take up teaching the art in Adult Education and I have never looked back. It basically changed my life completely.
I have taught in Adult Education for over 25 years as well as here at the Wilmslow Guild. My tutoring has also taken me all around the UK teaching seminars and courses as well as to Ireland and the USA.
I started a club called The Bluebell China Painting Club and for many years I helped run it as well also producing 6 magazines a year for club members.
I am also the Chairman of the North West China Painters and for over 20 years have helped organise an annual residential weekend for painters as well as helping to run the North West China Painters Show..... more commonly known as The "Deanwater" Show...after the name of the Hotel.
For a good number of years I also taught Watercolours; I also loved that, but Painting on China won out. I still watercolour for pleasure though.
