Makers Art School / About
Run by working artists who believe in the transformative power of art.
Twenty years of serious studio practice, qualified teaching, and a refusal to make work that bores her. Makers is what happens when the gatekeeping stops.
Founder
Meet Lisa.
Painter. Printmaker. Digital installation artist. Lifelong maker.
A painter, printmaker and digital installation artist, Lisa studied Fine Art at Loughborough University before training in Art Education at Cambridge. Cornish by birth and rooted in rural East Anglia, she has been teaching art at all levels since 1998.
Her practice weaves the analogue and the digital, the intuitive and the rigorous — bringing warmth, depth and creative provocation to everything she teaches. Lisa shows regularly internationally: New York, Austin, Boston, Dublin, Amsterdam, Brussels and London.
Co-tutor
Working with Dominic Theobald.
Painter. Etcher. Photographer. Printmaker. Digital artist. Filmmaker.
Dom studied at Norwich School of Art, completed his MA at the Slade School of Fine Art, and later returned to Norwich to pursue a further MA in Moving Image and Sound. He has exhibited internationally across the USA, Japan, Europe and the UK, and has been teaching art at all levels since 1992.
Based in rural East Anglia, Dom brings a lifelong passion and one unshakeable belief to everything he teaches: that everyone is an artist.
