Carole Smollan enjoys teaching, particularly beginners and children, “I encourage them to access their creative processes.” I find this fascinating and inspiring and with children I believe it sets them up for a lifelong advantage. Smollan began exhibiting her art work from the age of 17. As a lace and lingerie designer she became head of a public company, won a prize at the Cologne Fair and was elected “Young Business Woman of the Year. Subsequently she ran her ceramic studio for 20 years making large murals for public buildings – the proudest one being in the foyer of the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg. Creating ceramics for the blind in Gardens, Cape Town was an awe inspiring experience. For many years she did the critique for a distance learning Art Course. In 1996 she emigrated to England without her kilns and began to develop her textile work. Her love of cloth began in her grandfather’s tailoring room. Smollan specializes in Synagogue Art. She has been commissioned to produce artwork for synagogues all over the world, exhibited on many one-man shows and museums all over the world, recently with a show of 150 pieces at the Yeshiva University Museum in New York.

I am an artist, author, art teacher, professional illustrator and creator of two published books: Soul Color, a ten week course on watercolour painting to cultivate creativity and mindfulness [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soul-Color-Watercolor-Mindfulness-Creativity/dp/1912634260], and Earth Color, an eight week art course for nature connection. [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Earth-Color-Course-Nature-Connection-Wellness/dp/1912634481/ref=pd_lpo_3?pd_rd_i=1912634481&psc=1] Both are published by Liminal 11 [https://liminal11.com/] in the UK and Sterling/Union Square & Co. [https://www.unionsquareandco.com/9781912634484/earth-color-by-emma-burleigh/] in the USA & Canada.  I hold regular courses and workshops in the Bristol and Stroud areas, which encourage expressive, experimental, meditative, imaginative and insightful approaches to making art. They are suitable for experienced artists and complete beginners alike. They tend to be in the mediums of watercolour painting, mixed media, art journaling, or illustrated poetry, comics & graphic narratives. I am a regular tutor at the Royal West Academy, Bristol, and I'm also available for one to one tutoring, and group private workshops. To see a full list of classes I am currently teaching visit my website at https://www.emmaburleigh.com/teachingworkshops [https://www.emmaburleigh.com/teachingworkshops] I have a PGCE in Art from Oxford Brookes University and twenty years experience teaching Art at GCSE, A level and Key Stage Three. For several years I was the Head of Art at Didcot Girls' School, as well as the Fine Art course Leader for A level at Didcot Sixth Forms in Oxfordshire. I offer A level and GCSE tutoring and have an up to date DBS certificate. I enjoy helping people to develop their drawing and painting skills, and to find their voice. If you're scared to pick up a pencil or paintbrush but have always longed to, my special interest is in helping you to feel the fear and do it anyway!   For more information on my current classes and to get a sense of bespoke workshops I could offer you, visit https://www.emmaburleigh.com/teachingworkshops [https://www.emmaburleigh.com/teachingworkshops]
