Livia is such a brilliant teacher and I left on Sunday feeling like I'd achieved a lot in the two days and really improved my sculpting! A really fun and challenging weekend and I will definitely be booking another class soon!!

This was a fantastic introduction to sculpting for me. The class was the right size and included a range of talent and Livia was excellent in tailoring her approach to each student. She taught well and I learned some excellent technique. Time seemed to fly by. Would I go again? - Absolutely!

Thank you Livia for a wonderful class! Such a lovely environment to sculpt in, very welcoming and encouraging with an excellent teacher and model! I loved picking up invaluable hints and tips from Livia's vast experience and knowledge, which helped me to get my head around all the processes and pitfalls of creating a true likeness in a portrait. Such an engaging and satisfying experience, I highly recommend this class to anyone who has an interest in sculpture, professional or beginner. I will certainly be doing more.Ps. She makes a wicked chocolate cake :)
