Rachel Duffield
Art Tuition, Workshops and Clubs
I am a DBS checked, fully qualified tutor with over
20 years experience in leading art and craft groups
of all ages and abilities.
​
As well as being an exhibiting artist and portrait
painter, I'm certified in Teaching for Lifelong
Learning, I have a diploma in Children's Book
Illustration and I'm a qualified Gold, Silver and Bronze Arts Award advisor. I also hold certificates in Dementia Awareness, Mental Health Awareness, and Trauma Informed Practice.
​
I believe in encouraging students to reflect on their own work and the work of other artists in order to build confidence and develop technical skills so they can explore, find and progress their own individual artistic style.
