I am so grateful to a friend who recommended Anne’s Art classes at the Parsonage gardens rectory. I felt welcomed and included by Anne who naturally creates a friendly , creative space , focused space . I have attended for some years, and have always been warmly welcomed back after gaps with clear prompt communication from Anne at all stages of the way. I love how Anne includes inspiration from other artists ; past and present ; a full range of use of materials and ,I have gained confidence in my own work and experimenting with styles and materials. I look forward to the contact and stimulus of the class itself; and have felt extra benefit of over time enjoying doing Art itself as a creative hobby and enjoying so much more looking at the Art of others ; intrigued and informed enough to be as fascinated by how the artist has created the piece; both in the context of when the work is created and working of the materials used! Thankful again to that friend who recommended Anne and her classes; helped me to make that so important first step …now I am wholeheartedly recommending Anne’s Art Classes at Didsbury Parsonage to you.
Anne's teaching is great. She has introduced me to a whole new range of techniques and styles. Her classes are very friendly and caters for all levels.
Annes art classes encourage incremental experimentation with various materials, styles, and techniques. These are developed in a supportive environment via themed subject matter. You are free to take on board as much or as little as you like. There are no rigid rules of constraint. At the same time, Annes' depth of knowledge and experience enables her to give personalised guidance, should you have a particular approach you wish to pursue. Through her classes, I have greatly widened my range of techniques, increased my confidence, and rekindled my love of creating artistic outcomes.
As my tutor, Anne is exceptional. She is so knowledgeable, professional and very much inspirational. Anne has a structure to her classes that is also flexible for all her students. She gives everyone time and encouragement to develop their skills and shares her outstanding expertise in art as well as being an accomplished tutor.
