‘I enjoy watching someone new to art grow in confidence and ability, especially those of you that arrive so timidly and without any self-belief. My tenet is that anyone can be taught some basic exercises that will help transpose what you see onto a two-dimensional plane.
Practice is a huge key element but, more importantly, encouragement is one of the most important aspects to my teaching.
I want students to be inspired.’
Kathy Barker
‘One of the most enjoyable aspects is one to one teaching, understanding individual abilities and personal experience. Getting to know each student helps me to find ways to inspire, enabling room for each to develop techniques, personal approaches and, on occasion, maybe take a risk or two.
I believe teaching should encourage. Even if a student has found an exercise tough it will always lay deeper foundations upon which they can build their personal abilities for future.’
