Great course. Simon was an excellent teacher and talked and walked through explanations and examples very simply. The work shop was great and the pace of the course was spot on. Highly recommend it to those interested in these courses.

The day was very enjoyable, you taught us so much in a short space of time. I was quite nervous but you immediately put me at ease. I achieved an end result that far exceeded my expectations

Art of Marbling
Studio Workshop
Great fun and set in a very calm, quiet studio. Simon was very knowledgeable and I was happy with the paint effect I produced. I would be confident in performing the technique again.
