Alan Wylie was born in Glasgow Scotland, where he

graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a degree in

Mural Design and Mosaics.  He immigrated to Nova Scotia

in 1967 where he taught and operated a gallery,but in

1974, he relocated to BC where he has lived in Fort

Langley with his artistwife, Janice Robertson.

He has a long list of shows, exhibitions and prestigious

awards won in Canada and the USA.  Our recent artist,

Andrew McDermott said that he thought that Alan Wylie is

the best artist on the West Coast!  Our own members who

have been fortunate to take workshops from him describe

Alan as humorous, wise and a tremendous teacher.  He

does not do many workshops these days and we are so

fortunate to have this opportunity to meet him.

We will take a 45 minute lunch break so people should plan to bring their own or head up the street to Macdonald’s:). Coffee will be available in the studio.

• Administrative Notes:

Enrollment and waitlist status is also presented there. You can pay directly on-line by credit card. You will need to make payment within 24 hours of your enrollment or it will be automatically cancelled so if you need assistance in paying, please contact Richard Prutton by email: rmprutton@gmail.com .

This course may fill up quickly.  Do not hesitate to join the WAIT LIST. If it is full, do not be discouraged. Check back later- you may still be able to get in.

For every workshop we have run this year, we have had cancellations because of illness or change of plans.  Often even a wait list of eight names or more is moved up because "life changes things."  However, if you are on the wait list and change your own plans, please do not hold your space in the queue. Please take your name off the wait list and let someone else have a chance.   Be kind to your colleagues and remove your name if you have a change of plans. 

Cancellations. If you are unable to attend a workshop, refunds are not issued, but you may find another person to take your place. Only if the workshop is full can you cancel through Richard Prutton, in which case a refund will be issued if your spot can be filled from the waitlist.  No Refunds will be issued within 48 hours of the workshop start time.

NSAG reserves the right to cancel the course within 15 days of the start.
