“I would highly recommend these workshops to other teachers. It was so convenient that the facilitator travelled to our school and we did not have to arrange transport. I was very happy that this project was funded and the school did not incur any cost. I learned lots of new techniques and approaches myself that I will implement into my art lessons going forward. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.”
“I was grateful to David coming in and working with the children. There were enough resources for each child to use and they were free to create what they wanted. Really enjoyed it and would definitely do another workshop again.”
“We really appreciate David giving us this beautiful opportunity. It was a fabulous workshop, which allowed the children to be active and creative throughout the process. Fantastic.”
