Art book club
In 2019, I founded an online art book club. This a friendly online club that is dedicated to discussing fine art books. You don’t have to be an artist to join, all you need is a passion for art.

Demonstrations, workshops & lectures
The exchange of knowledge is central to my practice. Since 2010, I have delivered over a hundred creative workshops tailored to adult learners, engaging participants across the UK and Australia. My approach combines technical skill-building through choice-based education to foster well-being and creative confidence. My experience spans many sectors, including:
- Further Education Prior to my move to Australia, I was a Lecturer in Drawing and Painting at the Hitchin Campus of North Hertfordshire College (NHC via Hart's Protocol) for approximately 5 years. I designed and delivered two term time programmes that formed part of NHC's Adult Further Education Programmes for beginners and improvers.
- Museum & Cultural Engagement I designed bespoke workshops for Lowewood Museum, Broxbourne, UK (managed by Epping Forest District Council). These sold-out events involved the learners reimaging works from special exhibitions: Printmaking (Dec 2019), Drawing and Painting with Watercolour Pencils (March 2020).
- Local Government & Community In 2010, I designed and lead a series of 'Drawing and Painting Techniques' workshops for Derbyshire County Council's Adult Community Education programme at their Ashbourne campus.
- Arts Trust I ran Open Access printmaking sessions for Digswell Arts Trust at the Forge, Digswell, UK.
I continue to lead bespoke workshops through DuncanRice Studios, please contact via the studios if you would like further information on workshops or demonstrations.
