Philippa Mandis came to a class and started the Tui - a year later she had completed both the Tui and the Fantail - aren't they fantastic
Student Work
One of my greatest pleasures is being able to witness the growing confidence in one's ability, the satisfaction of creating a thing of beauty from start to finish and the joy that my students get from being able to take home their own unique piece of art.
Many students arrive at the class unsure of what they would like to create and I can sense their nervousness, their fear that they will not succeed. Oh what a transformation!!! And all it took was just 7 hours.
By the end of the class not only have great pieces been created but people's self esteem and pride in themselves has soared. I just love it. See some of the creations below.
