What our students say about our Masterclasses

 

Great teacher - made every step come alive!

The Masterclass with Linda Darty was excellent value. The amount I learnt in five days would take months with books (if it was even possible). Plus the support tutors Robert and Lisa were generous with their time and knowledge which enthused me with masses of other ideas. Fold forming with enamel highlights, design inspiration and a whole plethora of other inspirational information. Tasty meals too.

Excellent Instructor. Couldn't have asked for better for my first enamelling course. I would attend other advanced courses by Linda if given an opportunity.

Very flexible curriculum which allows you to explore the areas you will be able to use in your work in the future. Oh, and did I forget to mention that we had one of the best enamelists in the world teach us!!

Very well prepared for class, generous with information, fabulous tutor. This class de-mystifies some amazing techniques which I thought were too difficult to achieve at first.

I'm so excited and energised after Linda's wonderful masterclass and really loved the format. It was especially good to try out so many different techniques under her watchful and experienced eye and I've come away with a large shopping list of things to buy so I can explore further. My knowledge and, more importantly, my confidence has increased dramatically. And when I refer to Linda's book now I'll hear her voice and feel her presence at my shoulder!
