"Your workshop was the best that they had attended and they not only learned so much, but a lot of the content was information that they had never heard before and they felt that you definitely did not hold anything back. Your group contained experienced members and comparatively new ones who benefited so much - a day they would not have missed . . . they all enjoyed the whole experience." - Dunfermline Art Club.
