"Had a really enjoyable day learning the technique of lino printing and was really pleased with my efforts! Lee is a great teacher and employed just the right amount of attention and intervention if needed. Would really recommend this for a beginner like me. The surroundings of the studio itself and the landscape are inspirational and the atmosphere friendly and encouraging."

Lee is not only very friendly and welcoming, but teaches the lino-cut course for beginners like me with very clear guidance and instruction, and lots of ideas from how own experience to help you achieve the tricky landscape you brought along! Highly recommended, and if you want a fun, interesting and creative day, don't hesitate!"

Jane Turner reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I went on a one day lino printing course with Lee as a total beginner and loved the whole day. Lee was well organised and the venue and materials were perfect for the activity. He gave us clear instruction in a relaxed and friendly way. I was surprised at how much could be achieved in the time available and I would definitely like to do another of Lee's courses in the future 😀"

Angela Clarke reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"This was an excellent course. Leigh taught us techniques for reduction lino- printing , including colour mixing skills, in order to produce a print that I was very pleased with at the end of the day. Friendly, relaxed & informative day."

Linda Peters reviewed: Portrait Paintings in Oils

"I thoroughly enjoyed Lee’s oil painting course and learned so much! The canvas Lee provided was luxurious, (he makes them himself) a pleasure to paint on. Lee is a brilliant teacher, has a natural ability in explaining techniques etc. I never thought I could learn so much about painting a portrait in oils in such a short time space. Another important thing for me is confidence; I arrived with no confidence in my ability as a portrait painter at all. Because of Lee’s teaching skills, I now feel confident in my ability moving forward. I found it exciting learning to paint using traditional methods. The academy itself is a lovely place to be. Seeing Lee & Lucy’s paintings on the wall was inspirational. The atmosphere was relaxed and our modals were amazing, thank you Dave and Bev. My fellow students were lovely too and I had a great week altogether. Will definitely attend courses in the future. Thank you Lee, thank you Academy, I highly recommend you. "

Charlotte Pountney reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Lee is a superb teacher, kind, patient and very helpful. He tailors his advice to suit the level of skill of group members, which today ranged from experienced mono-linoprinter to complete beginners and we all took home prints that we were very pleased with. It was a real pleasure to work with quality paper and professional quality cutting tools. I will definitely be back. Thank you, Lee."

Marion Baker reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I really enjoyed the day. Lee is very patient and the class numbers are small so he has plenty of time to make suggestions and guide you through the techniques. I had never done anything like this before but found it is a great mix of different skills. I loved trying mixing the different colours. Thank you"

Polly reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I really enjoyed my first time doing Reduction Lino Printing, Lee is a very good teacher particularly as it is quite a complex process. He taught me a lot about mixing the right colours and applying 3 colours in one roll, very effective after 3 prints. He very gently mentors you and recommends solutions for everything. To work surrounded by his prints is very inspirational. I enjoyed my day and as I am lucky enough to be local I shall be back to do more. Thank you Lee."

Francesca reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"A pleasant and insightful day of reduction Lino-printing in a lovely studio. The group was small enough that Lee could tailor his advice to each of us. His understanding of colour and technique makes this course suitable for students ranging from experienced print-makers to complete beginners. "

Tena reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"100% recommendation. Lee is a very friendly and professional teacher. We were only four students, and Lee gave us all his attention nonstop. He is a great artist himself, and the studio was large and very inspiring, fully equipped with all sorts of prints, presses, and other artists media. All four of us managed to print fabulous prints, and the tools and materials provided were of the highest quality. The whole experience was intense, humorous and creative. "

Mike reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course last week. Although I have experience of creating mono linoprints, Lee explained the process of colour reduction linoprinting so well I now have the confidence to try colour printing in my own studio. Everyone on the course produced some lovely prints to bring home with them. A very relaxing but productive day."

Melanie Opland reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I spent a relaxing day learning about linoprinting. Lee is an excellent teacher and so patient. It was great that he encouraged us to mix the colours and was always there to help when needed. I was really pleased with my linoprints and am encouraged to sign up for another workshop as well as attempt to do this at home. His information on supplies was also very useful. A great day."

Lorraine reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Thoroughly enjoyed the lino printing course with Lee. The course is held in a lovely location and the course content is spot on. Whatever your ability, you will go away with an amazing piece of artwork that you maybe didnt realise you had in you. I am now looking out for my next project to book onto another of the lino printing courses with Lee. Learnt so much at this recent one. Thanks Lee."

Carole Thompson reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Lee proved to be an excellent tutor, adept at adjusting his methods to suit our varying abilities. So whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience in Lino printing, this course offers excellent value for money. We all came away pleased with our art work and wanting to book another session. "

Sarah Jupp reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Lee is not only a lovely guy, patient and easy company, he is also an incredibly talented artist. Considering how short a time he has been doing lino printing, his work is accurate, clever and inspiring so I always felt in good hands. The workshop is beautiful - an old school house which has been filled with incredible paintings. The printing room at the back of the school had a log fire which Lee tended to to keep us cosy. It was a fantastic day, I think everyone should do it!"

Lee Wright Artist responded:

"Thanks so much Sarah. I'm glad that you and your lovely father had such a good time with me. Looking forward to seeing your next prints! Lee"

Faye Mear reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"My partner bought me a place on Lee's Reduction Linocut printing course for my birthday as it is a technique I wanted to learn. I had a brilliant day in the studio with two other students and worked to produce my first 3 layer print. Lee is a great teacher, friendly and patient, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. I hope to go back and learn more!"

Sarah reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"My friend and I had a great day at Cwmdu studios with Lee. He’s a gifted teacher. We all produced something we felt really pleased with and had a really enjoyable time doing it. This was down to Lee’s seemingly effortless way of sharing his expertise, guiding and encouraging us. It’s a fab course in a great venue. "

Lee Wright Artist responded:

"Thank you for your kind words Sarah. It was great to spend the day with you both; I was really impressed with the prints that you both made. Hope it gives you confidence to do some more lino printing."

"My husband and I really enjoyed our day learning to lino print with Lee. I have no experience or artistic flair to speak of but with gentle explanation and encouragement produced something I’m going to be proud to put on my wall! It was brilliant to focus on this for a day and forget everything else. Highly recommend this course, and hope to be back again!"

Adam reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"We were able to get on with it straight away but Lee was always there to guide and help when it was needed. He was a great teacher who made it a lot of fun. I was working hard all day to get my print finished and it took my full concentration - a great way to escape from your worries for a while. It’s possible to produce some decent art without any experience. I loved it - many thanks!"

Lee Wright Artist responded:

"Thank you Adam. Great to meet you and well done for your excellent focus and print. "
