"Attending the guided Art course has been inspirational and has given me the confidence to start to develop my own skills when engaging in a piece of creative work . James is a knowledgeable tutor . He is encouraging and perceptive to each individual student , and I like the way he explains various different ways to develop our skills . The Studio has a nice environment and being with other artists is really pleasant . I am pleased that I decided to join the group and look forwards to more sessions in the future. Thank you James"
