All classes are designed to be equal parts challenging, engaging, rewarding and fun. Most are suitable for all ages.
Your Instructors
Your teacher will be Mel Shand who has a degree in fine art from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee.
She works from her studio in Finzean, which is about 15 minutes from Glen Dye.
Her inspiration comes from a daily life lived in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and the instinct to ‘paint what she knows’, through perception and observation.
