Rachel Thompson

My art lessons are open-ended, exploratory and centred on developing curiosity, confidence and an individual creative voice.

Through careful looking, responding to source material and finding inspiration in artists, ideas and the world around us, students are encouraged to experiment, ask questions and discover where their own ideas can lead.

I create a nurturing and encouraging environment where there is no single ‘right’ way to make art, and where the process of exploring and developing ideas is just as important as the finished work.

With over 15 years’ experience in arts education, alongside a BA and MA from St Martin's College of Art and Design, I bring a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and practical experience to each lesson.
