Signature Art by Rachael Kuczaj - Adult and Junior workshops and classes
Welcome to my booking page. I am a pet & Equine portrait artist and I specialise in chalk pastels. I run a variety of adult and junior classes and workshops for all abilities, please see details below;
ADULT CHALK PASTEL CLASSES - These classes are held on a Tuesday evening for 3 weeks, every other month at Tomato Jack Arts in Berkeley. I have been running these classes for over 2 years and have developed a group of loyal and repeat students. Some of these students had never used chalk pastels before and have found a real passion for the medium. My classes are fun and relaxed and cater for all abilities. Come along and have a go even if you have never used chalk pastels you will be surprised by what you can do! The groups are small and incredibly welcoming and supportive.
ADULT PAINT & CREATE WORKSHOPS - I hold evening Paint & Create workshops from the Oak at Kingshill in Dursley. These workshops make for an ideal night out doing something a little bit different and creative. They are usually held in a pub where food and drink can be ordered. These are social workshops that can be enjoyed with friends, colleagues or by yourself, the groups are always incredibly welcoming, friendly and supportive. We paint with acrylics onto a framed canvas. You do not need to have any painting experience to take part in these workshops. We work through each painting step by step, we have a process that we follow from stat to finish and people are genuinely surprised by what they can do and take home. You just need to trust in the process! My mantra for every workshop!
JUNIOR ART CLUB - I have been running Junior Art Club at Tomato Jack Arts in Berkeley for over 2 years. I run 2 classes every month usually on a Tuesday and a Thursday. I have a lovely bunch of juniors aged from 9 - 14 who regularly attend and we always welcome new members. We have lots of fun discovering different art styles, mediums and techniques. I look to explore a different theme each month from chalk pastels to water colour pencils, learning how to draw animals to having a go at creating their own fantasy map. My aim is to give them the space to explore all these different styles and mediums, to let their imaginations run wild and most importantly have fun with art.
JUNIOR PAINT & CREATE WORKSHOPS - I also hold Junior Paint & Create workshops at the same venue in the school holidays. These are a great way for juniors to explore the medium of acrylics. We get very adventurous with different mark making tools, not just paint brushes! We use stencils, Lego, sponges, forks, you name it! Sometimes I get brave with the glitter too! The juniors really enjoy this opportunity to experiment. The paintings are all done step by step so that they can all follow and they get to take their masterpieces home to hang in pride of place!
Details of all my future classes and workshops can be found below.
