Rusko Studio will reopen for weekly art classes on Tuesday 18th May. Please contact Liz for details

I hope to welcome you back for my regular weekly classes (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 2p-5pm) as soon as the lockdown rules allow – I miss everyone.

There will be holidays and workshops too as soon as we are able to open safely. The Summer Landscape Holiday is open (5th-12th June 2021) for expressions of interest. No deposits will be asked until I am really sure it can go ahead. Details here and on the Wild At Art Scotland website. Do drop me line if you would like a place on what will be a very colourful and enjoyable week. The Autumn Colours course is also open for booking.
