Letizia Foroni - 23 January 2022

Today’s session was extremely challenging to the point of not being particularly enjoyable. I had to leave earlier because of an urgent situation but I found the subject extremely difficult today.

A wonderful class where Irene shows the way whilst giving valuable techniques and tips. Very enjoyable

Eira - 29 November 2020

Thank you for a really lovely class, like you said I probably wouldn't have chosen to attempt to draw that photo of the crystal but as a beginner it was great to just be able to experiment and ask questions and be in a supportive environment. I do love charcoal as a medium.
