"I really enjoyed my day of sculpture with Poppy in her lovely studio. She is a wonderful teacher, very encouraging and spends time helping everyone individually and as a group. It was also great to get to take the armature home with some clay so I could continue working on my sculpture at home. Definitely recommended!"

"I had a wonderful day! The atmosphere was warm and friendly and not in the least intimidating. Poppy is extremely knowledgable and it was a real treat to have her guidance. I can't recommend this experience enough!"

"This was a well organised and thought out day, with lots of little touches to make us feel welcome. Poppy is an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher. She helped me look much harder at what I was doing, and has hopefully moved me on a bit. The model was lovely, and very still for the designated pose periods, with regular breaks in between. Nice to have lunch in a separate room out of the studio. Lots of interesting and beautiful things to inspire you up in the studio itself. Hope to return for another course a bit later this year. It is quite an intensive day, and I was worn out by the time I got home! A big thank you!"

"Spent the day with the lovely poppy field yesterday on a sculpture course and oh my how I loved every minute, a complete escape from everything and was totally inspired by her, I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again"

Deborah Richards reviewed: Torso / Figure Sculpture in clay: 1 day course from life

"I really enjoyed the day. Poppy explained everything as we went, paid everyone equal attention, is a good and knowledgable teacher. The experience has left me wanting to do more and I now feel that I have some base knowledge to have a play around for myself. I highly recommend it to everyone, there are no age barriers. Thanks Poppy."

"Poppy's studio an inspiration in its self, such a lovely space with so much to look at. The course was a delight, I had done clay sculpture before, and was very pleased with the sculpture I produced, but the others in my group hadn't done sculpture before and they produced great work. Poppy has a very structured way of teaching, which results in excellent outcomes. Thank you Poppy for a wonderful day."

Gosia reviewed: Life sculpture in clay: 1 day course

"It was so good I actually kept recommending it to random people at my work (who had nothing to do with art at all)! But seriously, overall experience was amazing. Poppy made us feel comfortable at her lovely studio, she was very well prepared with a choice of armature to model on, and with well equipped work space for everyone. The amount of knowledge she shared with us was just right, enough to make sure that our sculptures resemble human being but not overwhelming. Her teaching style is also positive and constructive. She is also very easily approachable and in general nice person to chat to. Thanks Poppy!"

"Really enjoyed this course and can thoroughly recommend it. Poppy is a great teacher and all three of us came away delighted with what we had achieved. The day is well organised, the lunch is delicious and it was a relaxing environment to work in."

Sasha reviewed: Torso / Figure Sculpture in clay: 1 day course from life

"Spent a wonderful day at Warren Park Heritage and Craft Centre in Poppy’s studio. Poppy’s passion for sculpting is reflected in her ease of teaching. My friends and I felt relaxed and well informed. The COVID procedures were very good. We had a delicious lunch prepared by Pippa who was also our delightful life model. It was a bonus to leave with a recognisable armature! I would highly recommend this course. Thank you Poppy and Pippa!!"

Max Hoffman reviewed: Life sculpture in clay: 1 day course

"I received this course as a gift from family, who were looking to give me a unique experience. And what a wonderful experience it was! Poppy was passionate and kind, helping me understand both the theory and practice of sculpting. My final sculpture was even palatable enough to take home as a memento. I highly recommend that this course goes on everybody's bucket list!"

Niyamat Mehta reviewed: Life sculpture in clay: 1 day course

"Poppy is incredibly hard working and committed towards her work, which (I think) is one of the most inspiring qualities for a student to look up to. She is a very passionate sculptor and has the profound ability of making learning a joyful and rewarding experience. Anyone who has a chance to study and learn under Poppy is very fortunate."

John reviewed: Life sculpture in clay: 1 day course

"What a great day! I was bought this day as a present and had no experience of sculpture, nor indeed art since leaving school some 45 years ago, so I was to say the least, most apprehensive. Poppy is so passionate about her subject that her enthusiasm just washes over you and after some blunders on my part, I felt that I actually created something that had demonstrable form and shape. Certainly I needn't have worried about my lack of skill, Poppy's encouragement makes up for that in spades. The studio is in a lovely setting and we had a very nice lunch shared with another one of the craftspeople (another great guy) from this wonderful estate of art and craft. Excellent value for money, perfect for those with talent who want to step up a gear, but equally supportive of novices to 'have a go'. On the other hand, take a look at the superb work Poppy produces for sale and by commissions, it's truly exceptional and foretells of the heady heights for which she is clearly destined - get a lesson now before she is too much in demand!"

Poppy Field responded:

"Thank you John for taking the time to write such a glowing review! It was an incredibly rewarding day and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it so."
