Laura is a great teacher! It was a great introduction to floral abstract painting, it was also very useful to learn about different brushes and mark making. She made everyone feel at ease and I thought it was great that Laura paid attention to everyone's work individually and pointed out positives. Thanks again for a lovely and inspiring afternoon!”

I really valued Laura’s encouragement and enthusiasm, which I know from other classes is not a skill all tutors share! I left feeling relaxed and keen to try more. Having a couple of hours of enforced 'brain/breathing space' away from the usual stresses was also very handy!”
