General Information on Workshops

All workshops are relaxed and informal. Painters of all abilities are welcome but complete beginners are advised to gain some experience from tutored classes, books or videos. If you need any other information, please ask a question on the contact us page. Please also take a look at the gallery page where there are examples of my work. It is important to choose a painting holiday or class that is tutored by someone whose work and style pleases you.

All workshops include tutoring and morning and afternoon tea and coffee. Other meals and travel to and from the painting locations are not included unless specified in the details for each workshop. You should bring your own painting materials although all of the materials used by Grahame are available to buy at the workshop at prices comparable to internet art stores.

 

Booking Information and Conditions

All summer workshops are offered on a first come/first served basis. We are happy to take provisional bookings by phone or by email but these must be confirmed with your deposit as soon as possible. People attending the eight week day classes have first refusal for the following eight week session.

 

You should send a non-refundable deposit of £20.00 per workshop booked, with the balance payable four weeks before the start. After this date, no refunds can be made, unless we can fill the place, in which case we will refund the full amount less the £20.00 deposit. Please download and

print the booking form here and post with your cheque to the address on the form.

 

Alternatively, you may book online and pay via credit card or Paypal. When booking in this way, the entire cost is payable on booking. If you cancel up to four weeks before the workshop begins, you will be refunded by cheque for the full amount less £20.00. After this date, no refunds can be made, unless we can fill the place, in which case we will refund the full amount less £20.00.

 

If you cancel but have a friend who can take your place, you may transfer your deposit and balance to them. To pay via credit card or Paypal, click the appropriate buy now button on the shop page.

 

Please note that these booking conditions do not apply to workshops organised by third parties. Such workshops are indicated in italics on the list to the left of this window. Paypal is not available for third party workshops.

 

The photographs of each workshop area show the variety of locations that are available. Actual locations are decided on only a few days before the workshop begins and may or may not include the locations photographed

“Grahame illustrates and imparts his skills and knowledge with clarity and humour. Those who attend his tuition go away with the enthusiasm to develop their own style utilising the lessons so aptly and expertly taught by one of the best artists in the UK” - Roy, Belfast
