"Alastair is a great teacher. I learned a lot in such a short time! Many thanks to Alastair's calm, kind, informative, and helpful guidance in the process of stone lithography. I loved every minute I spent in the studio, and I am looking forward to more regular visits once I come back from my holiday!"

"I enjoyed the course very much, Jess explained the techniques very clearly and was generous with her knowledge of all the tasks we had the chance to explore. I intend to return to the studio either to try out a different area of printmaking or just to practice the skills I learned over the weekend. Excellent course.”
