I have been running workshops since 2011. I am currently one of the tutors at Straight Curves in Chesterfield where I run both face to face and live virtual workshops in Art Journaling, Mixed media, bookbinding, painting and drawing. Find out more here.
I have also just launched my new online course called ‘Mini Mixed Media Accordion Book’ this is a pre-recorded class that allows you to go at your own pace. You can find it here.
I also take commissions, if you are after a drawing, painting, mixed media piece, or journal, just let me know.

Highly recommended, even for complete beginners like me.”

Sue – Mixed Media Tibetan Prayer Flag – 2018 – “Thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, it has inspired me and renewed my long lost interest in craft and collage. Lisa was a great tutor and very patient with this beginner! “
Elizabeth – Sharrowvale Workshops 2015 – “What fun! It’s so great to have the chance to be inspired by Lisa!”
Anna & Erin – Sharrowvale Workshops 2012-15 – “We love the way the workshops show us new techniques that look effective even if done by someone with very little art experience. Erin also said she likes being shown a technique and given a theme, but then being allowed to develop it in her own way. Our favourite techniques include the marbling with shaving foam, using sellotape to transfer pictures from newsprint and the bottle-top embellishments. We loved making the book/box with the concertina insert”.
Lucy – Sharrowvale Workshops 2012-14 – “Its been brilliant (I) have thoroughly enjoyed it and looked forward to each session. It’s been fab. I’m still doing it now! Much love and many thanks”.
May – Barnsley Experience Museum 2014 – “The children told me that your session was the best thing they had done with us the last academic year with the children’s panel, so high praise indeed!”.
Natasha – Grenoside Workshops 2012 – “I attended an art journaling course designed and taught by Lisa. During the time I went to the classes I was suffering from a bereavement and I found the sessions to be really therapeutic. As well as learning new art techniques, I was able to express how I was feeling right there on the blank page, which had a cathartic effect. I loved how Lisa was so passionate about art and this combined with her warm personality made the classes very enjoyable”
