Demonstrations & Workshops

Heather is an experienced and popular art demonstrator and art workshop leader, having visited many art groups and art societies around the country over the years, getting repeat bookings, as well as leading school based art projects and community projects, such as the events like the Big Draw Campaign. Heather’s demonstrations are a blend of art activity in the medium or subject chosen by the art group, a spoken commentary of what she is doing and why, with a smattering of information from her many years’ experience as an artist, taking questions during the demonstration where appropriate, and bringing some humour and anecdote to the occasion. Most rewarding is to receive feedback about the demonstration event, where people feel encouraged to have a go or try out an approach they had not considered or known about before. “It’s all in the doing; just have a go” is something Heather often says regarding new or rusty art practice.
