- 5/5 from Dave Pearson, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was very professional, I was greeted in the foyer and taken to the class I explained what I was aiming to do and what I wanted to achieve. We started with basic shaped and shading and went on to eyes, I enjoyed the lesson and was able to put into practice what I had seen in books but wasn't able to do. I look forward to my next lesson.
