Shenney - 28 May 2024
Alex gave a fantastic introduction to woodcut printmaking and was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and encouraging. It was a very fun class and I'd highly recommend it for anyone who loves learning new things and finding a new creative outlet.
Tanaya - 11 April 2024
Alex was really knowledgeable and the session was very relaxed and enjoyable. The studio was also a lovely space to be in. It's definitely made me want to try woodblock again and I feel a lot more confident to do so.
Kit - 6 February 2024
Had a great session with Alex- really informative but relaxed. And I love the prints I’ve taken home! Looking forward to coming back.
