Susan's style and experience are reflected in her excellent teaching methods and ability to demonstrate  method and technique in a calm, patient and straightforward manner.
Most classes are suitable for a variety of skill sets and individual attention is given by Tutor when needed to support Learners. 
Whether you come along to one session or more, we are sure you will enjoy the informal, instructive and professional tuition. The session/s will help you to be more creative and explore different materials and products and improve your skills and knowledge.
