Maker's bio

I have been teaching 2-day printmaking masterclasses in my home studio since 2014 and I reached GOLD level on craftcourses.com with 5-star reviews. I took a break from teaching in 2023 but here I am again under a different name. This time I am focusing on providing shorter half-day workshops (not just printmaking) that are more affordable and fun. My studio is comfortable for two plus me, and because of this I can offer a cosier, bespoke creative experience. I am located in a picturesque village location in Dorset and I bake a very good Dorset apple cake.

Pam Du Val reviewed: Oriental Brush Painting For 2 - Bring A Friend

"I enjoyed the session with Genny so much. A very supportive teacher, she clearly puts a lot of thought into a relaxed creative atmosphere. She taught us about the rich history of Chinese brush painting, without making it intimidating - it was the perfect introduction to help beginners to paint. The tea ceremony was lovely and I came away refreshed and inspired. Also, I have a disability and really appreciated how Genny sensitively took that into account, to make the session accessible for me. "

Arty Genny responded:

"Hello Pam and thank you so much for writing this lovely review. It was such a pleasure sharing the painting techniques with you and I really enjoyed your company. Take care, Genny xx"

Lyn reviewed: Oriental Brush Painting For 2 - Bring A Friend

"Our session with Genny was lovely. Chinese brush painting is a very calming, joyous and meditative style of painting, and Genny created an atmosphere that radiated that calm. As two beginners, we learned a little of the history, the tools, the method and the symbolism of what we were painting and created some beautiful pieces. Thank you Genny for your time and your professionalism."

Arty Genny responded:

"Thank you Lyn so much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure to spend time with you. Genny xx"

Shannon Thomas reviewed: Tetra Pak Printing for 2 - Bring a Friend

"I did a Tetra workshop with Genny recently, it was incredibly fun to learn and do something a little different. The printing was very cool. Being able to reuse materials makes it even more special. Genny is a very good teacher, she has lots of patience and is willing to provide as much or a little help as needed. I couldn’t recommend the workshop enough! "

Arty Genny responded:

"Thanks Shannon! It was a real pleasure to teach you. You were great fun, and your prints have such character. Hope you get the chance to try lots more new creative experiences!"
