WHO IS MY TUTOR?

Short & Few runs creative workshops in Ilkley, including printmaking, alternative photography and bookmaking. It is run by Zoe, a qualified and experienced art tutor currently teaching at a specialist arts university in Leeds. Her background is in graphic design and typography, but over the years she haa developed a deep interest in process-driven arts and hands-on analogue practices. She is a big believer in learning by doing and making mistakes as a form of enquiry, an ethos which underpins my teaching. She loves the buzz of seeing what people make when they least expect it, and inspiring people to develop a curiosity for what the arts can be about.

The full schedule of up-coming workshops can be found on the website www.shortandfew.co.uk
