This week I’ve been teaching  free kids online art classes for UAL Future Creatives starting with Monday’s class for 7-11 year olds titled “ Learn how to paint like Vincent Van Gogh “ Which produced some amazing paintings by the children who attended !
Today’s class for 11-17 year olds will be teaching children how to create a store window design taking inspiration from the Louis Vuitton/ Yayoi Kusama installations in Selfridges, London.

It felt amazing to be back teaching online last week and even greater to be teaching a past client of mine, Sonthia Coleman from The Fashion Brand Guru who is based in Louisiana, US.
Sonthia booked a bespoke Online Visual Merchandising Course with me which was run over a series of three days, with two hour online live lessons with me each day via Zoom. My bespoke courses are all tailored to meet the exact training requirements for each client who I work with. Sonthia wanted to concentrate on learning effective Visual Merchandising techniques for online retailers, so courses can be tailored to assist those retailers who just have online businesses and those who have a store premises.
