Art Hobby brings you art and hobby tutorials, related articles, featured artists and crafts people, and a growing library of craft ideas and resources for various hobbies.
Interested in art, hobbies and all things craft related – by connecting with other arts and crafts people, the art hobby crafts creative network grew. It’s free to join if you are into arts and crafts and want to join a community of like minded people, learn a new hobbies – or even teach others.
I’ve been avidly drawing since childhood and have ‘had a go’ at most crafts over the years. Giving ‘new to me’ crafts a try helps feed the crafty ‘bug’. Although mainly self taught I attended our local Chester art college, taking the Art Foundation course. That’s where I became hooked by ceramics, especially paper clay (a mixture of paper fibre and earth clays). I’d take the Art Foundation course every year if I could.
I was as happy etching and printing as I was when Life Drawing. However, as we had to choose a subject, I decided to specialize in ceramics and I especially enjoy experimenting with that quirky medium paperclay.
Abstract Art
Painting abstract art allows me the freedom to explore a scene, idea or thought without having to represent the actual view, idea or thought in complete detail, allowing the painting to develop without prescription or restriction. Abstract Art Gallery

“abstract art
n : an abstract genre of art; artistic content depends on
internal form rather than pictorial representation”
Original Art
My original figurative, still life and other abstract paintings in acrylic, pastel and engraving prints are currently on display in Chester, UK. The originals are available for purchase locally as are limited edition prints of these. (these are not currently available for purchase elsewhere)
We are updating our art hobby website as not very much has changed for quite some time, leaving the old version of the website design looking rather jaded and it was not very useful for you, the user.
The new logo design is simple, yet fits neatly alongside our arts and crafts creative network website.
We will be re-adding our free ebooks and reports here on art hobby in due course. So please do revisit for updates.
