"Very enjoyable, informative and well structured course. Our tutor was highly knowledgeable and supportive in helping us learn and understand whilst completing our course pieces. For people who don't know (I didn't), it might be worth including in the course write up that 'traditional stained glass' is lead-based ie. not copper foil-based."

Belinda Collingwood reviewed: Mixed Media Painting Workshop

"I always enjoy coming to Stanwick for an art morning - I think this was my least favourite of the ones I’ve done and that’s because I didn’t love the still life theme and also needed more structure and demo - and I didn’t love my result this time - perhaps I’ve been spoilt before - I’ll be back though "
