What our students say about us:
Just want to say thank you to you to both of you for delivering your exceptional art classes. My second one today and it’s everything, and more than, I could have wished for... techniques, tips, supporting information and artist references... Oh, and homework. I am a complete beginner but feel I have ‘art’ in me somewhere. I need to discover and explore this now I have time...for the first time in my life! Your preparation and most of all your passion is right up there... thank you!
- Carole. I have to say that the class is probably one of the most informative, relaxed and inspirational art groups I’ve attended. It's exactly what I need to grow in my knowledge and confidence in creating art, with the right kind of flexible teaching that I love. And some fantastic back to basics knowledge, a lovely group of people, and a beautiful studio. -Steve
I have just completed one of your 6 week courses and I thought you would like some feedback regarding what a positive experience it was for me. I so enjoyed it. You are both wonderful, engaged teachers; you were so encouraging and positive that any anxiety I might have felt at starting something new soon disappeared. I feel proud of the artwork that I produced.- Annette. Our previous students' work:
