Anthea Penrose reviewed: Learn how to create classical and contemporary sculpture in clay

"Dean is an outstanding teacher, I have learned so much and have continued to book subsequent courses since my first one because apart from the whole process being so enjoyable, I have been taken aback at what can be achieved under Dean's guidance. The small groups are very friendly and the overall atmosphere in Dean's studio is exceptionally warm and supportive. I highly recommend this course."

Jaqi Jones reviewed: Learn how to create classical and contemporary sculpture in clay

"I was given a short course as a present and was just expecting to make a small thing and move on. Dean encouraged me to make a detailed sculpture that I thought would be out of my league being a novice. The short course finished and I've stayed on. Thoroughly enjoying working with clay, Dean's a great teacher, I've learned so much in a short time and I'm really pleased with my creation. Always interesting discussions with the other students there, and the time just flies! Definitely recommend!"

Christine Andrews reviewed: Learn how to create classical and contemporary sculpture in clay

"I love this course! Dean has enabled me to understand sculpting techniques, encouraged me to experiment with form and finish effects and introduced me to the world of professional sculptors. Creating is a deeply satisfying and fulfilling experience which Dean is able to guide and enhance individually throughout the sessions. Tea, coffee and always cake in good supply, time flies and, I’ve made new friends!"
