The Portrait in Clay from Photographs (Online) April 2021 Reviewed

More demonstrations, supported by video clips, extended the scope of the course content and enabled participants to come back to detailed information at their leisure. It was an enjoyable and constructive three days spent with a convivial, engaged group. One student joined us from the U.S.A. – rising at 4.00 a.m. their time! It was a great pleasure to welcome participants from far and wide – working at their own pace in their own home or studio. There are certainly several ways in which online working can offer a unique learning experience.
