Claire has taught many different classes and courses for many different art organisations locally. Claire has a strong teaching style and believes that classes should be designed to accommodate the individual and what that person wants to learn. Claire encourages the student to choose the medium and subject of their artwork if it is appropriate for the workshop theme. By using her experience, Claire shows each individual student how to use that medium and the best way in which to tackle their chosen subject.

Claire has vast experience in teaching, she taught her own art courses to adults for five years, run numerous demonstrations and workshops for the Farnham Maltings, has been a visiting artist for Farnborough College of Technology and also advised both students and lecturers there on the current art market as part of the their Media and Creative Arts Liaison Committee. Claire also teaches workshops for both adults and children at Guildford House Gallery.

Claire has also inspired three students, to do projects about her and her work for academic courses. This has included a degree student at Reading University, a GCSE student at St. Anne’s Convent School, Southampton and an NC Design student at Farnborough College of Technology.
