Testimonial

Liz
The carousel course was a very interesting introduction to six different techniques, suitable for anyone, even someone like me with very little free time, who hadn't done art before. I found it really enjoyable, with just the right balance of challenge and support. Katrina was very kind and helpful, and provided really useful handouts full of interesting information. I surprised myself by making several really lovely small pieces of art. I would highly recommend the course, especially to people who want to explore art but aren't sure where to start.
The beauty of this course is that you are introduced to a variety of media. At the end of six weeks you can specialise for another 6 weeks, then, jump on the Carousel and rotate again; thus building and developing the skills you have learned.
