These courses caters for all levels of skill from beginners to professional

and Ian also gives demonstrations of his unique techniques, which
have been developed over fourty years of working in this genre.
The courses offer a stimulating and varied approach to new ideas
and methods of construction for anyone interested in descovering
new and practical ways of producing their work.
Each day is divided into sections for both demonstrations and for
working alone under instruction. Throughout the course you will receive a great deal of information
so please bring a note book and camera if you wish, plus an overall,
a towel and any modelling tools you prefer using, plus some packing
materials for transporting your work home.
