I have been a teacher of art since my training at Swansea College & University, way back in time. For a while, I worked in Grammar Schools, but then became an independent ceramicist for many years.
In that role, I led hosts of tutored groups, in-service workshops,
and many full-week workshops for youngsters at the International Eisteddforrd in Llangollen.
However, I'd not taught 2-dimensional art for a long time, so asking for feedback from people who come to my workshops felt very worrying at first,
but there has been enormous support and praise from them.
Feedback from Maggie's Workshops.
August 2009 ~ Perspective
Of 13 feedback forms for the two-day workshop at Plas Tan y Bwlch in Snowdonia, 6 said "excellent" as their overall assessment, 5 said "great" or "thoroughly enjoyable", and the others said "very good".

An absolutely inspiring weekend. Challenging for me personally in some ways.
I really feel as if I've got the bug again - I haven't put my pencil down since I got home, and yet I hadn't touched it for months.
August 2009 ~ Perspective
Brilliant! Stimulating and useful ~ perspective was explained clearly and demonstrated practically.
January 2009 ~ Drawing
I've propped my work up all around my living room - I didn't realise that I had done so much, and I really got an awful lot out of it.

Very good weekend. I have never been to a workshop before, but I really enjoyed it.
It was nice to be able to have the social aspects to it as well - lovely lunches.

Very instructive, challenging, inspiring. The best workshop I have been to.
August 2009 ~ Perspective
Excellent - learnt a great deal. Especially liked the exercises on the first day. One of the best workshops I have been to.
May 2009 ~ Drawing
Very good and well organised. I learned a lot, and quickly.
Compared to other workshops I have been to, it was as good as any, and better than most.
May 2009 ~ Drawing
Brilliant. I would like to do a perspective workshop if a place is available.

I had a great weekend. Your workshop was fantastic and exhilarating. You must be thrilled it went so well.
Such an inspiring two days.
January 2009 ~ Drawing
I'd just like to say what a wonderful weekend I've had.
It was really exciting, and I have learned on awful lot.
I want to come to the next one - yes, I know it's a repeat, but I really think I would benefit from it.
August 2009 ~ Perspective
Really excellent. Especially liked being challenged and made to "push forward". Would change nothing in the workshop. It was very well structured and designed for progress. Everyone was encouraged.

How many workshops do you go to where you go to the tutor's house for lunch. I thought it was quite lovely.
... many thanks to our lovely chef also.
... and the food was terrific.
... catering fantastic, but I think you don't charge enough.
A different style of tutoring ~ great!
More variety than other workshops I've done.
August 2009 ~ Perspective
Excellent experience. Gave me more confidence and advice very helpful. Best workshop I have attended.
January 2009 ~ Drawing
I enjoyed the weekend so much, and will try to put into practice all that I learned!
You must have been exhausted - hope you had a good lie in on Monday morning.
Thank you so much for making it such a fun time. Hope to come again one day.
August 2009 ~ Perspective
Great fun!! Thought provoking. Not enough time (as always). Compared to others I have done, brilliant!
January 2009 ~ Drawing
I've been on numerous workshops and teachers over the years, and every one has their own way of saying things and helping you to develop.
Now I'm onto Maggie's wavelength I could enjoy doing it again - can you put me down for the next one please.
She came again, and said "I still found it stimulating. Nothing could be changed: all great.".
