Comments:
Confidence: – personally and artistically. Good atmosphere conducive to learning.
I have more confidence to try new ways of drawing and now thinking a lot more about the work before I start. Most importantly I loved trying and having fun while learning.
Having done oil painting classes, I was able to recognise that one of my problems is with composition and Darush was able to help me work on this.
Fantastic Experience.
I didn’t think glass could be interesting or fun until I came to these classes and I’m definitely looking forward to more.
Enjoyed working with other students and learning from each other.
Further social interaction and an ongoing insight into “what” makes a working artist. Greater knowledge of the kind of work expected at a higher level of art education.
