Julie Walsh Fine Art Classes

Methodist Church, Brook Rd, Urmston, Manchester M41 5PQ, United Kingdom

Art is my passion and I think it is important to use this enthusiasm to inspire young people to be creative, innovative individuals. It is through my experience as an art teacher at a primary school for the previous seven years, that I have realized everyone has artistic potential, they just need to have confidence in themselves and be nurtured in a safe environment to learn from their mistakes and eventually succeed.
