Laura McVean

Laura is one of our new tutors and will be leading classes in sewing, printmaking and watercolour, with a focus on reuse and sustainability. She joins us after spending 5 years at Cass Art where she has organised workshops and exhibitions in store.

In 2024 Laura also spent some time in a small school in Cambodia teaching Art classes to High School students, introducing them to new materials, techniques, and the wider history and importance of art in society.

She finds fulfilment in encouraging others to appreciate their own creative talents and see them grow through this.
