Really friendly teacher with lots of helpful tips
Maddie - 24 June 2019
I have struggled with drawing forever and went to my first class last week and felt was so useful! I am going into 4th year of my fashion degree and from one class I went to I have found myself already implementing the simple techniques Ilsa showed us. I will be coming back for more classes :)

Lisa was nice, kind an approachable. She made us all feel welcome. The workshop place is just about right. She gives people time and involves everyone and individualise input in a non-threatening manner. I have learnt to appreciate things and to look at the things as parts and as a whole to create a drawing!
Hana - 24 May 2019
The class is always very enjoyable. Every time there is a different object to draw, and Ilsa guides the participants through the specific challenges.
Sangita Anand - 17 May 2019
Ilsa is very helpful in guiding how to draw and approach subjects. Also, she is very tailored to meeting individual needs in order to most benefit from her classes
Pauline Howard - 16 May 2019
It was a very relaxed atmosphere. We learnt about perspective and even the most inexperienced of us (me) managed to come up with a respectable drawing of a pile of books with the guidance of the teacher. Ilsa gave everyone individual guidance helped to build confidence. The venue was fine.
Paula Taladriz - 10 May 2019
We did a pencil drawing and learned about drawing curves And proportion and the different stages of drawing a 3D structure. It was very helpful and fun.
Milena - 7 May 2019
My daughter absolutely loved this class. Ilsa was giving very constructive feedback throughout and made my daughter progress in her art skills in only one session. I would highly recommend these lessons to anyone.
Charmaine - 6 May 2019
Ilsa was very friendly, she offered instructions to each one of us about our work, where my mind was opened up to see beyond the form - to appreciate details and ways to capture what I saw. A very pleasant afternoon experience!
Rosemary - 6 May 2019
I attended a taster session at Ilsa’s home on 5th May, we studied drawing techniques and drew leaves and flowers of a plant bought for the session. Ilsa was very patient and explained the basics of drawing simply and effectively, she gave everyone individual attention and positive feedback. The session was not overcrowded and refreshments were provided. I learnt a lot about shading and perspective. I would definitely recommend Ilsa and hope to attend further sessions
Helayna - 9 April 2019
I really loved this class, great atmosphere and I feel like I've already learnt so much. I've always loved drawing but having the time to go over and learn the fundamentals of drawing is so useful! Will be coming again :)
Marie - 9 April 2019
The atmosphere was very chill and friendly, and we had enough guidance without having any imposed style. We definitely recommend Ilsa's lesson :)
Anne Ardis - 8 April 2019
I am a beginner, wasn't even sure I could draw. In just one lesson Ilsa has taught me fundamental techniques in a pleasant relaxed atmosphere and I made real progress. She has given me the confidence to do more. I realise I can draw, I enjoy it and will be signing up for more lessons.
Aldo Brut - 30 March 2019
I was a little nervous at first - the class was a gift from a friend - but Ilsa made me feel right at home and was very encouraging from the start. I'll definitely be going back.
Sarah Doge - 30 March 2019
I've always drawn but stopped making progress years ago. These classes have inspired me to spend more time working at it, instead of just doing the same kind of thing again and again. Recommended.
Alice Durman - 30 March 2019
As someone who never thought they could draw at all, this has been a bit of a revelation. Ilsa's been able to offer clear, practical advice to help me get over my lack of confidence and I'm really excited about where these classes may take me.
