I often buy clothes and accessories spontaneously. This results in a wardrobe full of pieces that don’t pair with anything. “I have nothing to wear….” I hear you say. A handful of treasures just hanging in there before progressing into a charity giveaway bag. Not if you know your true colours that will elevate your look and mood as well as save money and the environment. Based on this colour analysis we can create a capsule wardrobe using your existing pieces and follow your colour chart to purchase matching items in future. Whatever fashion dictates, buying less and more consciously will reduce waste, save money and creates a wonderful wardrobe you can be proud of! The analysis is based on inherited tones as well as personality. Based on 4 seasons: spring and autumn being warm and summer and winter cool in the colour spectrum.

Sometimes you just need a bit of help with something specific that you’re working on at home. Perhaps you have something that just won’t solder or you’d like some advice on pricing your work. Maybe you can’t decide which tools and equipment you need to buy to set up your own studio, or you even need some help with web site design?  Anna has a BA(Hons) degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing from the prestigious Birmingham School of Jewellery (if you watched the recent series of All That Glitters on TV, it’s that place!) and Post Graduate Certificate in Education, but its the 20+ years of practical experience in making jewellery, teaching others and running a business that’s really important! If this is the case, then a simple 30 minute online chat might be the perfect solution. If you’d like to email Anna first to check that she’s able to help then please complete the form below:

Francesca Wyllie (BA Hons Fine Art) has an amazing north-facing art studio at El Retiro in Andalucia, which was purpose-built to accommodate painting groups. Bespoke painting and sculpture workshops can be arranged or Francesca can travel locally to guide you in your own studios or locations.

Who says what's right for you? How aware are you of how much you actually drink each week? Is it more than you want it to be? Does it take the edge off your performance? Or do you just think it's time to change? This session will challenge the way you think about drink. It's not about what someone else thinks you ought to drink - it's about your own attitude to it. Take away a completely fresh way of thinking about drinking. Get some insights into 'how come' you drink what you do. Find out what you can easily do to drink less. During the session you will have the opportunity to take a fresh look at: Your drinking habits - casual/social drinking, habitual drinking, binge drinking 'How come I do this'? How we think about habits 'How could I change my drinking'?
