quotes from students

This was a terrific course which has really furthered my understanding of 3D work. The two field trips were v. well planned and enjoyable and really contributed to later parts of the course. Also, the vocabulary of sculpture was particularly well dealt with - cleared up a lot of problems I'd had in talking about work. (An Undertstanding of Form, 2009)

"...the course was wonderful and thank you so much – we all agreed that we had learned more from you in four days than forever anywhere else..."

"I just have to say an enormous thank you for such an amazingly good course last week. It will I'm sure remain with me for a very long time.   It certainly took me a good couple of days to retrieve a sense of reality.....all those thoughts whirring around in my brain."

"I liked doing clay cubes" (Alice, aged 8)

"Going from 2D to 3D has opened up a new world" (Mark, father)

"A group activity that spans all ages and diverse individuals"

"Thanks for your encouragement anyway, you were very supportive and positive about everyone's efforts, which made it a great atmosphere" 

"Just a short note enclosing some photos from the weekend and to say how much we enjoyed ourselves; I'd never done anything like it before and must admit I approached the weekend with a degree of trepidation; however any fears were immediately allayed by your engaging and encouraging approach - your enthusiasm for the subject rubbed off and we both found the time we had stimulating, inspiring and great fun!"

"I would like to thank you for the most fantastic 3 day course. It has been the most stimulating experience."

"Thanks for such a great course.  I enjoyed the subsequent course very much, but it didn't quite have the same buzz of energy that your course did"

"I did very much enjoy your course and learnt a great deal - which I hope to put into practice during the next months."

"I feel I’ve been away for months and learnt loads."

"The course was excellent, and your tuition an inspiration. I'm just off to collect some clay..."

"...thought you would like to know that I won the Art Society Sculpture Award with my head. So again, thanks to you for your tuition."
