Ciao aspiranti studenti!

My objective is to understand your aims, and help you achieve them in the way that works for you. My teaching method is both structured and fun to follow.

On our first meeting, we'll define your level and draft your bespoke leaning plan.

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 12 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 halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Tie and dye is an ancient global form of art that originated independently across various cultures, with the earliest examples dating back to the 5th–8th century AD in China, Japan, Peru, and India. Known as a form of "resist dyeing," it involves binding or folding fabric to prevent dye from reaching certain areas. In the Southwestern area of Nigeria it is called - "ADIRE".

Every Art has its history - “Nothing exists without an origin”

Adire is more than just a textile; it's a reflection of Nigeria’s civilization and culture. Each design is a testament to the rich heritage of our culture and nation.
