Welcome home Cathy Milner 28th-31st August.

"Drawing is not what one sees, but what one can make others see." ~ Degas

Cathy is an extraordinary art teacher and coach. A particular magic she brings to her workshops is an ability to have artists across a broad gambit of experience feel at absolute ease in the same studio setting , from already successful professional artists to talented novices. The studio setting in question ? The historic Bialanti Ball Room. We see it in many guises from Rock music venue to Lang Arm ball to farm association meetings. But nothing quite beats the look of the the ballroom in the guise of a renaissance style studio with pupils under the instruction and facilitation of a master teacher.
