From past students

What people have written after.

"The Saturday in the studio was the most useful day of teaching I've had in five years. Came home with three finished pattern tiles and a way of working that actually clicks."

— Sionnach M. · pattern-making, May '25

"Online but didn't feel like it. Eight students, lots of time per person, and the brush pack alone was worth the fee."

— Imogen V. · Procreate for picture-book artists, Feb '25

"Booked the storyboarding course on a whim and walked out with a picture-book dummy that's gone on to be the project I'm currently pitching to publishers."

— Ren K. · storyboarding, Aug '25

"I'd never touched a riso press before — by the end of the day I had ten finished copies of a 12-page zine to give to friends. Magical."

— Polly J. · risograph zine, Sep '25
