Art Class Experience Days

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to attend your amazing workshop with 4 other people, I added another place so I could bring my sisters and sister-in law. We had a super time, Suzanne showed us some great skills with glass and then we went on to make up our pieces with her expert help. We all left feeling truly inspired and keen to repeat the experience in the near future! Suzanne and her Colleague were very welcoming and friendly.

Rare to see a real professional artist offering this type of package and it is completely one on one, not part of a big group which really is a waste of time. I did a course with Minna late in 2015 and it was the best money I have spent in years. Her personal attention and knowledge is incredible and to think I am taking lessons from a woman who's artwork has been at Sotheby's recently is something special. Now that I see she is on this website I will buy my wife as a gift to see her for her birthday!

I wanted to provide some feedback for the above day which I attended last year, a retirement gift from work. I’d been drawing and ‘colouring in’ for a while. What I did I did for my own amusement but people reflected kindly on it so I was thrilled with the opportunity to have someone else critique my work but more importantly to help me develop a broader sense of it and how I could develop it further. After a few e-mail exchanges with the delightful Minna we arranged our day at her studio in Clapham. We’d agreed to explore technique, use of colour, paper and materials and I took along some of my things like watercolours, brushes and pens. Can’t say I wasnt anxious. I was terrified but immediately welcomed and made at ease through easy discussion about my expectations and a review of some of my work. Minna had prepared a very detailed agenda for us which we walked through but Minnas approach here was one hat was very flexible and although well prepared for a structured day was happy to flex this as we moved through. I was quickly at work and under ‘pressure’ for some output. We worked through the morning up to lunch which was very informal and a perfect accompanianment to the day. We explored other artists work online that Minna had picked out for me to illustrate further how I can develop composition and approach. The afternoon was spent on a final piece, bringing together the learning for the morning. Minna worked tirelessly to make me feel at ease, to encourage and shape my output so that I really felt that I had accomplished something very positive and fullfiling from the day. I really had a super experience from this day. I enjoyed it enormously. Minna was a terrific host and had thought hard about what she could do with me and I felt had pitched the activity and learning to my level, bringing out my skills by developing a more structured approach to my drawing and more confident execution from it. I cant reccommend it highly enough.
