The most inspiring hours of my week are spent at verysmallstudio. And
the rest of the week is spent feeling nourished by that time.

Elizabeth's classes are a continuous journey of learning and
achievement. She knows exactly how to challenge and support each student
that arrives at her lovely, welcoming space for art, tea and great
conversation. Elizabeth is a gifted teacher. I had never drawn before I took her class and it changed my life!

I was hooked after the first class. It was less about my lack
of ability and more about feeling confident in Elizabeth’s ability to
teach. Her gentle manner is coupled with a keen ability to adapt to the
particular needs of the student in the moment. She is an exacting
practitioner who creates a non-threatening environment conducive to
learning coupled with lots of interesting
conversation and tea! Thank you, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's passion for botanical illustration is evident during
each class. She possesses a wealth of knowledge and
experience, and seems to understand her students and their needs well, making sure that everyone receives individual care and attention. I feel
that Elizabeth is an incredibly generous teacher.

A warm and sparkling person,
and a great teacher, she gives her students attention and encouragement,
all with expertise, sensitivity and good humour. I love going to her studio. I highly recommend her classes.

As
a novice to botanical drawing and watercolour, I have thoroughly
enjoyed the welcoming and nurturing atmosphere at the studio. Elizabeth
is a thoughtful and perceptive instructor with a profound artistic
knowledge and ability.
