Transitioning from Art Workshops: Exploring New Creative Pathways

Art Workshops Update

After careful consideration, I have decided to discontinue my in-person art workshops. Over time, maintaining sufficient attendance has become increasingly challenging, leading to several session cancellations. Additionally, the logistics of travelling for these workshops have become more demanding, particularly as I do not have access to a car and must undertake a six-hour journey to Chesterfield, where my family resides. Although I store some materials at my father’s home, the necessity of transporting a substantial amount of equipment has added to the challenges.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has participated in my workshops since their inception in 2011. It has truly been a joy to meet so many wonderful people, and I hope you have found them valuable and learned so much during our sessions. While many of you joined to learn, I have also greatly benefited from the experiences you have shared with me. Your support has played a crucial role in the growth of my art business, and I look forward to the exciting new ventures ahead. I hope you will join me on this journey.

Best Wishes
Karen M Berisford

But have you ever wondered what these terms really mean and how they can impact your art? In our latest article, we delve into these very questions. Click the image to read the article.

" For me, working at an easel for long periods can be challenging as it usually ends up with pain and stiffness in my shoulder, arm and wrist.
