“Claude’s teaching style is endlessly encouraging; she always finds something positive to highlight, which makes even the most tentative beginner feel capable. I’ve learned techniques in drawing and collage and each class leaves me eager to keep creating.
And if that weren’t enough — she sometimes brings cookies."

'Before Claude’s mixed media drawing class, I had lots of art supplies at home, but I never used them. Today, I sketch and paint every week and I feel very creative.
​
The classes are very free and fun. I like the sketching warm up exercises and that we can finish a project in the same class.
​
Claude is very patient and sweet. She provides direction on color, composition, techniques, while encouraging each person to find their style.
I have taken the course several times and enjoyed it every time. I highly recommend it."

"I've found my way back to being creative again thanks to Claude’s art classes and her enthusiasm for design! I felt instantly welcome to the art class and was able to jump right into creating my very first mixed media art collages.
Claude provided enough guidance to get everyone started on each week’s project, while also encouraging us to start developing our own individual style. She clearly has a keen eye for detail, being always ready to offer friendly input for any questions on composition or colour combination.
The quick drawing and painting exercises at the beginning of each class especially helped me to get out of my comfort zone and experiment with different techniques that I hadn’t tried before. I also enjoyed the positive feedback round at the end of the class, where everyone gets to take a look at each other’s work. It was fascinating to see all the different approaches to the same project.
Taking part in Claude’s art classes has given me so many new ideas for future projects, as well as the confidence to continue with my art journey!"

"I've enjoyed both Claude's mixed media and experimental art classes immensely. She helped me shake off my perfectionism, challenged me to try out new techniques and motives... I'm back in a creative flow thanks to her!"
