“I have been drawing for many years, but during Clare’s classes, I feel like I am looking at drawing with new eyes and with more joy. Within an inclusive and nurturing environment, Clare introduces new starting points both in terms of drawing techniques and mindfulness to explore during the classes. I also frequently take these starting points forward in my own work. I have now taken part in many of Clare’s classes and will continue to do so.”
“I found the teaching innovative, fresh and inspiring. ”
“I want to thank you for the fantastic course, I really enjoyed it so much. You are a calm, inspiring, caring and giving teacher, thanks for that. ”
