Working with greenwood is a natural complement to Steve’s expressive style of painting. Carving something that is unique such as a spoon or spatula – adjusting the designs to work with the natural twists and bends the wood suggests – is a lot like the ‘happy accidents’ that can occur with watercolour, for example. Steve teaches a wide range of classes at Forgan Arts Centre, Newport-on-Tay, Off the Rails Arthouse, Ladybank the Centre for Stewardship, Falkland and Gartmore House, near Stirling as well as running other opportunities throughout Scotland. Classes are offered to beginners and those with some experience.
