Join me as I teach my intuitive process of building exciting layers with different mediums.

- Her kind and calming nature comes across in her pieces, and her teaching methods. In class, you are made totally comfortable to be yourself and explore your creativity without any pressure. Working with small groups, Carla encourages you step by step, to find new ways of incorporating nature into your artwork, with new techniques and ideas, enabling you to produce more than you ever imagined possible. Above all, it’s a mindful few hours, where you can switch off and reconnect with yourself.
