  • 5/5 from Sarah Maltwards, attended May 2022: This workshop was wonderful. Magda was really lovely and friendly, and provided clear instructions on what to do, as well as an interesting history on old photography processes. The printmaking was really simple and good fun - ideal for a group with mixed creative abilities. It was really relaxed so there was time to chat, admire each others creations, and look at some of Magda's own work - as well as produce 3 prints each! Everyone in our group said how much they enjoyed it, and I will definitely be having another go at it at home. All materials were provided, and the prints are small - so no having to carry something cumbersome around for the rest of the day, or come back another time to collect your creation. Magda was incredibly helpful and responsive in advance of the workshop, and she provided clear instructions on how to find the venue (not a single person got lost trying to find it!). I would absolutely recommend this class, and would happily do it again.
