Welcome, my name is Liz and I'm glad you could stop by my website.
I have been teaching Decorative Painting since 1990.  I offer classes for people who have never painted before as well as intermediate and advanced classes.  Decorative painting is my passion and I have taken classes with the best in the field.   I have had the good fortune to be able to travel and go to conventions to learn many new painting skills.  I can pass on what I have learned to you. Teachers who have taught me new skills are many and range from Heather Reddick to Dorthy Dent,
 Cheri Rol, Louise Jackson and Maureeen McNaughton.
  I am a member of the Society of Decorative Painters, the Canadian Guild of Folk Painters and Harbourside Painters of Canada an SDP Chapter and also a member of the Hamilton Area Decorative Painters.

Did you know decorative painting is a learned skill?  I would love to start you on a journey of discovery that will teach you how much fun decorative painting is. 
 
Classes are $15.00 for 2 hours.  This includes the colours for the class with the exception of your base colour.  I have many surfaces from which you can choose but perhaps you already have one in mind and you are welcome to bring it.  In these financial times you might want to think about turning Trash to Treasure.  Many of us have items at home that can be repainted and repurposed.  
 
Available in the studio are brushes, books, paints, palette paper.  I can teach you how to paint on canvas, wood, metal, glass, tin.  A surface unique to my studio is bisque (Click here to see all my Bisque). 
Bisque is a beautiful and exciting surface to paint on.  There is something very special in giving a gift that is hand painted by you. 
 
If I do not have an item I will get it for you.  Because I go directly to a distributor I can get excellent prices which I pass the savings on to you.

The Studio is open during class times and any other time by appointment, if I am here no problem. 
Just a phone call away at any time.
 You can come and check my studio out and see what is on offer.
 There is always more going on than I can possibly put on my website.  Or call me to arrange another convenient time for you.
