The ARC Shed

Folk artist and crafter passionate to help others find their inner artist whatever medium that takes.

Hello!

My name is Vanessa and I am a Certified Decorative Artist (painting) and Level 4 Certified Powertex Tutor.

Painting: I teach the techniques and brush strokes used in decorative painting (Folk and Canal Art) and classes are suitable for complete beginners, unless otherwise stated. I love this style of painting, not least of all because it is an art form that anyone can learn.

Powertex: This is such a great product and being water based and non-toxic it is eco-friendly yet once cured, it is weatherproof making it perfect for both indoor and outdooor artworks. It can be used in SO many ways from fabric sculpting, stone effect art, paint and so much more. As much as I enjoy creating myself the most enjoyable part of it is when I get to show others they can do it too. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to pass on my skills teaching you what Ive learnt and watch your inner artist surface!

Workshops and online classes are listed on my website and updated as new dates and projects are available. Subscribers to my Newsletter get the info first so head to my website to sign up. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube - just search for The Arc Shed.

If a workshop is not for you then 1-2-1 sessions or maybe a themed private party, for example a Prosecco and Painting evening, can be arranged.

Look out for me at local craft fairs and events.
