My 16 year old decided to pursue a career at n fashion and art early on We found Emer and she was exactly what we were looking for and more when Theo applied for fashion Academies Her first extensive background and calm and friendly approach brought out the best in my 16 year old son Together they created an original portfolio crammed with original and artistic work Enthusiast and patient I have no reservations recommending Emer for any art driven personal or group learning sessions My sons testimony says it all She is simply amazing
Emer was very easy to connect with and knowledgable about photography. At our first lesson, we formed some exciting goals to work toward throughout our program.
She is very friendly, very focus to her lesson as a result her lesson to be productive.
‘Analogue Photography’ refers to photography using an analogue camera and film. A roll of film is loaded into the camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is recorded. The pictures collected on your film roll come to life when the film is processed. ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED: 35MM CAMERA, FILM AND CHEMISTRY INCLUDED On this course I will teach you the basics of analogue photography - old school film photography. You will learn how to load film, take accurate light readings for correct exposures, you will learn about depth of field and shutter speed. Once you have taken your first roll of film you will then learn how to develop this film. Other students may wish to work with pinhole photography and learn how to build their own cameras. Most suitable as a short course and I can accommodate up to 4 students at one session so you can ask a friend. Fun weekend activities for the spring. Get snapping.
Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers. You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

With a compassionate and rigorous approach, I will help you explore your creativity and cultivate your artistic style. Regardless of your level or learning challenges, I am committed to supporting you on your artistic journey with enthusiasm and dedication.

Art Classes. Creative development or learning English through creative play
I can teach observational art, on location where we draw and paint landscapes, developing colour theory and different types of construction, perspective and mark making. I can also offer more abstract exploration, where we may start with a concept or an image as a starting point and create a more imaginative work from it. This process often includes creating a collage from which the student may be inspired to create a more surreal piece through abstraction. Alternatively, the student could suggest an idea they have been interested in, e.g. a story or news piece they read and I can guide them in the ways in which they may use their artistic process to develop this idea into a piece. I can also offer teaching English through creative play; using imagery as an aid to developing the language.

Icon painting with egg tempera, individual classes, historical technique
Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 9 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the nimbs. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Mastering Painting & Drawing Techniques with Art History Insights
"Immerse yourself in the world of fine arts with a class designed to build technical skill and artistic understanding! As a fine arts graduate specializing in painting, I bring hands-on expertise in pencil drawing, watercolor, acrylic, and pastels. In addition to practical techniques, we’ll explore key movements in art history, providing context and inspiration to deepen your creative work. This class is ideal for beginners eager to learn foundational skills and for more experienced artists looking to refine their techniques while gaining historical insights. Together, we’ll work through form, color theory, and composition, enhancing your skills and understanding of art. Join me to explore the rich tradition of fine arts through practice and study!" My Teaching Style: I believe every artist has their own voice, and my goal is to bring that voice to life. Each lesson begins with a foundational exercise tailored to your level—whether it’s exploring shading techniques, experimenting with color, or working on brush control. I guide you through practical demonstrations and then provide you the space to create freely with constructive feedback to support your growth. Alongside technique, I introduce art history elements to spark ideas and show how art can reflect your personal expression. Let’s work together to refine your skills, build confidence, and bring your artistic vision to life!"

Relate to Place. Exploring my Locality. A contemporary art practice class.
This class will support you to explore your local area. You will do this by foot and your learning and study will depend on what you encounter in your local area. Harnessing and expressing your growing knowledge will be done creatively in a mode that you enjoy most - drawing or writing or photography or a combination of both. We will look at ways to dig deeper into our locality and follow what interests us most. This is a contemporary art practice class that will tap into geography and history.
