Testimonials
From Kathryn's other drawing classes: "I have returned to Kathryn’s next stage of drawing/art as I found the Beginner’s Course in August/September last year very enlightening and her teaching skills and knowledge passed on to her students were exceptional. She inspired me to try my hand at drawing – the first time I’d tried to draw as an adult – and I genuinely was amazed at what she helped me achieve in that introductory class. Also, I found that the learning and exploring environment she created helped me to really ‘switch off’ from day-to-day work-related matters, which in turn was very refreshing, rewarding and therapeutic.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my first-hand experience of your superb and gifted teacher." Name withheld at student request. Feb 2017
"Finding that, with a little bit of guidance, I was able to find some talent. The tutor was very gentle in her teaching skill but able to encourage and guide" Sept 2016
"I enjoyed being persuaded to draw gesturally and not worry too much about the detail! I love getting exposure to different drawing materials - like conte" Sept 2016
