Having lectured in Art & Design for many years Carol has a wide range of experience with a variety of students off all abilities. She believes that a hands on approach and a visual curiosity along with enthusiasm can enable any one of us to develop an expressive visual language. Her aim is to encourage and develop the unique creativity within each individual and to foster an experimental approach.

Here at Frogmore House Studios we cater for small group workshops and weekend courses. We have some excellent on site accommodation and are situated in the lively and historic village of Tregony on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. Close by there are beautiful beaches and cliffs, woods and famous gardens.

We also have visiting tutors from time to time providing other topics. Courses suitable for students over the age of 16.
