Testimonials

"I feel like this workshop has given me a solid foundation in the core fundamentals like body position, how to hold the brush, layout basics, the basic strokes, block lettering, etc. It feels like I've got a crack in the door to this huge museum of craft and a path I can follow through it, whereas before, I felt too overwhelmed to even enter. 5/5 STARS" - Trenna Sharpe, Graphic Designer

"Ged's workshop was a delight to attend - very comprehensive and engaging environment. I learned so much about paint, how to paint and much, much more. 5/5 STARS" Liam Sparkes, Tattoo Artist
