  • 5/5 from Amanda Taylor, attended Jan 2025: Clare was very friendly and welcoming, and also a very good teacher with clear demonstrations, explanations and helpful tips. The class moved along at a good pace and we had time to try out the techniques we'd learned. The 2 hours flew by with a fun atmosphere and I would definitely go back for one of Clare's other classes.

  • 5/5 from Tracy Radcliffe, attended Sep 2024: I attended the Gelli Plate Image Transfer workshop to enhance my skills in Gelli Plate printing. Clare is an excellent teacher, she explains the process, gives tips and tricks to get better results and is extremely patient. The class was held at Clare's studio which is lovely and bright and is excellent value for money. This is the third workshop that I have attended and I will definitely be booking onto more in the future.
