FAQ

What happens if I can't attend a session?
If you can’t make one or more of the classes during the term, that’s totally okay, sometimes life happens! I will do everything I can to get you back up to speed in the following sessions and provide you with copies of any materials covered during the missed session. Unfortunately I can’t offer partial refunds or free makeup classes, as places are limited and courses are designed to be taken as a block. Makeup classes can be scheduled privately subject to availability and the usual studio private lesson fee.

Welcome to my Studio! I’m Rachel — a self-taught artist, educator, and lover of colour, light and storytelling. My studio is a warm, inviting space in Camberwell where we slow down, play with paint, and make art that feels good.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to art after a break, my classes are all about confidence, curiosity and joyful creative expression. We focus on hands-on learning, gentle guidance, playful prompts and a friendly, no-pressure vibe — because art should be fun and supportive, not intimidating.
From beginner oil painting courses to theme-based workshops and monthly sketch groups, each session is designed to help you see better, paint with more confidence, and enjoy the experience of making with others. You’ll leave with new skills, new art, and often new friends too.
All materials are provided, and every class is taught in a cosy, welcoming setting where there’s no “right way” to create — just your way. ️
