Art Classes and Workshops

Dawn runs various workshops and classes throughout the year for both children, adults, corporate groups and schools with these taking place at her Belfast studio as well as various other locations in Northern Ireland. In addition to this, she also runs online Zoom classes.

Online art school

Having hosted a number of successful Zoom classes throughout the pandemic lockdowns, Dawn continues to offer online classes for children and adults. These are just as fun and engaging as Dawn’s in-person events and allow participants to create quality art from wherever they are in the world, under Dawn’s expert guidance.

Whether it’s drawing, painting or sculpting, Dawn always has interesting ideas to inspire and delight all ages, with her online classes often themed around what her own work is currently focused on. Tapping into their creativity also helps to build confidence and resourcefulness in other areas of life, something which benefits participants of all ages.

 School visits

Dawn visits a variety of schools throughout the year, delivering art demonstrations as well as informative talks about her work. With two sons herself, she has a natural affinity with children and loves sharing her creative passion with the young people she encounters.

Every session can be adapted to suit the specific requirements of your school/class and all events are relaxed and informal. They’re designed to be fun introductions about the joy of art and creativity, as well as further inspiring those who already have an interest in the subject.

Dawn can talk about her own artistic style, how she came to be an artist and what inspires her – as well as answering any questions the pupils might have.

Great for supporting mental health and wellbeing, school events can take place in-person or virtually, so just get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

 Corporate art classes

Delivering corporate workshops and events is another strand of Dawn’s work and a great way for businesses to inspire their workforce and improve mental health and wellbeing. Whether it’s visiting a hospital, a micro-business or a large multinational, Dawn will shape each session to the specific requirements of the client.

Her sessions are always relaxed, informal and friendly, with demonstrations and talks about her artistic process and inspirations just some of what she can offer. 

With people now living longer and many also housebound with long-term health conditions, engaging with the arts is a great way to combat social isolation and to enhance mental health and wellbeing. Dawn’s classes – whether in-person or online – offer people of all ages a chance to connect with others, have some fun and re-discover the joy of being creative.
