ABOUT SANDRA VICK, art tutor

I have taught art classes for the past 17 years. I have spent time working in schools and as a private tutor. 

My aim is to make my art classes a safe and fun space for children to build their creativity and confidence. I facilitate individual creativity and encourage mutual support in our work ethos.

All my classes are small groups with all materials provided. We do projects using drawing, painting, clay, printmaking, collage, and other techniques. The classes tend to be geared towards the interest of the individual groups.

I have a certificate in understanding Autism with North-East Scotland University and so please contact me if you child has additional support needs to see if we can accommodate them in one of the classes.

ART MATERIALS: Often parents ask for sources of art materials. There are so many different shops selling art and craft materials that you are really spoilt for choice, and it really depends on how much you want to spend. Stores like The Works and Hobbycraft are great for the basics. For those who are wanting more than the budget versions, Cass Art, Edinburgh Art Shop and Greyfriars Art shop are local. For sketchbooks I like using Pink Pig sketchbooks as they are UK owned and make some fun bright coloured notebooks and sketchbooks. They do basic ones and more expensive watercolour ones.
