general office gallery, studios and project space

General Office is a small independent gallery which was set up in the Autumn of 2018 following the loss of studios we rented in the former Old Library and Art College building. General Office also houses eight artist studios and a hireable print room. The gallery curates a full programme of contemporary exhibitions of fine art, photography, glass and ceramics, and holds regular classes and workshops with occasional talks and screenings.

art courses birmingham

My approach to teaching is based on flexibility, sharing what I’ve gathered about drawing and painting over the years, and variety. The main aim is to enjoy the process of creativity without the fear of making mistakes. In fact mistakes are encouraged early on and often as they universally lead to discoveries and insight. Even the Great Masters had to learn to paint, and yes, they certainly made plenty of mistakes along the way. For such a large, vibrant, and culturally rich city as Birmingham, it’s surprising that there is not a wider availability of art courses. Courses that cater for drawing in various media like charcoal and pastel, or painting in oil, acrylic, and ink. That’s why I have begun new courses that look to explore each of these in as much depth as possible, but without the academic rhetoric or complicated jargon, and with hands-on advice, constructive critique, and demonstrations. Art doesn’t have to be intimidating. My aim is to make it accessible, rewarding, and enjoyable, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
