Cancelled WorkshopUnfortunately, I have had to cancel my final art workshop of the year. The two day, coloured pencil workshop that was booked to run over the weekend of 15th and the 16th of August has now been rolled over to next year. The Coronavirus has turned many lives and businesses upside down this year, and although we are all trying to get back to normal, it's going to take some time adapting to the new normal. Government regulations offer advice for all businesses and event planners to follow so they can provide a service as safely as possible. For many, this is possible, for others, it isn't. This workshop comes under the latter, and unfortunately there are too many hurdles that I, as the art tutor, am unable to fulfil. The room where the workshop is held, is simply too small for social distancing. The raison d'etre of my workshops is providing demonstrations and one to one help, any social distancing means the whole point of the workshop is lost. Other guidelines, understandably, cover strict sanitation and it would be almost impossible to follow all the requirements. As many are still concerned about gathering in groups, the interest in this workshop has been low, meaning people are simply not booking and the workshop is not viable. I have decided to roll all my 2020 art workshops over to 2021 whilst adding in a Coronavirus caveat which may affect a workshop depending on the situation at that time. Anyone who wanted to attend the workshops this year, can still attend next year if they are able. You can click on any of the images below to find out more information on each workshop. I will open up bookings in the new year. I want to send out a big thank you to everyone who booked one of my art workshops this year. For those who have attended previous events, I have missed seeing you again and for those who booked for the first time, I will look forward to meeting you in the future.
Stay safe everyone, Karen Berisford, Artist & art tutor of Step by Step Art

Although I can’t come to your workshops because I’m in California I enjoy everything you put out. I want to continue to thank you for your step by step guides. They are amazing and truly valuable to me. I am house bound right now. So art helps with sanity. I am trying pastels. I bought the just ordinary pastels from our local craft store to start .

Hi Iris, lovely to hear how my mini tutorials are helping you during your recuperation. I am planning to create some mini video tutorials in the not too distant future (just need a suitable set up) so I hope these will help you even more. Take care of yourself, Karen @ step by step art
