Hello. I am Helen Parsliffe.
As well being a qualified Art teacher (PGCE in Art and Design) with over 8 years’ teaching experience, I initially trained as a Graphic Designer in the mid-eighties and worked in the creative and communications industry for over 22 years. In 2010, I took a career break and returned to university to complete my degree in Illustration and Printmaking with First class honours.
I have exhibited in London and New York and alongside artists such as Damien Hirst, Barbara Rae, Peter Blake, Rolf Harris and Anneka Rice and have worked with the BBC as a featured Artist. With the wealth of my commercial and teaching experience, I now deliver many workshops, art away days and art classes to range of abilities and age groups in the public and private sector.

My aim is to maximize student’s creativity by building confidence, imagination and to teach you a wide variety of skills whilst having fun!

Art is my passion and it is my vision to develop individual’s artistic skills using
different techniques and processes and to encourage you to reach their creative
potential. I adopt a very personal approach which will allow me to get to know all of my students and maximize their capabilities. I will actively encourage you to try new things!

I would be delighted to have this opportunity to facilitate and bring art classes to you. I have devised many inspiring modules that concentrate on delivering a wide range of art skills and techniques throughout the workshops and classes.
