Tuition with Simon Cowper

I qualified as a teacher with a PGCE from the University of Exeter and I’ve been teaching ever since. After 24 years in schools and colleges I moved into adult education and began to exhibit my own work. In 2015 I took the plunge and became a self-employed artist and educator.

I’m an enthusiastic and supportive teacher with a good sense of humour. My classes combine foundation skills with experimentation and are suitable for adults working at all levels, from beginner to more advanced.
