• 5/5 from Sharon Orbell, attended Sep 2026: An exceptional class with structured learning and wonderful guidance. Alexander provides the foundation to understand the form of figurative sculpture in clay. You leave at the end of the six hour class with a real sense of achievement. One of the best courses I’ve done in three years of studying sculpture and print making.
• 5/5 from Moon Hoang, attended Aug 2026: Alexander is inspiring, really patient, supportive, friendly and thorough. He takes time with everyone regardless of our skill sets. We have a reference pose to work on and he makes sure everyone’s piece is accurate but also keeps our own touch and interpretation of shapes, forms and touch. Thanks for bringing back the love for figure sculpture in me :D
• 5/5 from Gypsy O'Dea, attended Aug 2026: The class was great, really well paced with a good amount of teaching and guidance and also some scope to add our own touch to the sculpture. I loved the small class size which allowed enough time for individual tuition as needed.

• 5/5 from Karishma Kulkarni, attended Jul 2026: Alex is a truly wonderful teacher - he is patient, responsive, very helpful and teaches good technique with good humour. I recommend him and his sculpture class very highly. This class was special to me as I was sculpting my granddad's image who has passed away - what I made was simple but unmistakably is my granddad. I couldn't have done this without Alex's help and his kindness in sculpting the individual features of my grandfather.

I would recommend it to anyone interested in art, creativity, or learning a new skill in a supportive setting.

I have now taken 2 classes with Alexander and plan to attend more as the experience has been so inspiring and rewarding.

• 5/5 from David Challis, attended Dec 2025: My daughter and I attended Alex's class for sculpting a human body. We both had a terrific day and took home our clay models which we loved. Alex has a very good teaching style that starts with the very basics and extends to the detailed completion of the models. I would highly recommend Alex's classes.
• 5/5 from Coral-Lee Frandi, attended Nov 2025: Did this class with my teenage daughter - we thoroughly enjoyed the class.

• 5/5 from Kirsten Laken, attended Nov 2025: Alexander runs a fast pace highly competent class where you are pretty much guaranteed to finish with a fabulous full body sculpture that is accurately proportioned and aesthetically pleasing. He teaches the whole process skilfully from start to finish, showing the very basic skills needed to become competent. His help along the way is considerate, generous and kind. I was quite blown away that my sculpture looked as good as it did as i had never sculpted a full body with clay before. I was over the moon with my very first piece, but that's all because of the teachers competence. Thank you Alexander, i enjoyed every moment of the class
• 5/5 from Jessie Journoud-Ryan, attended Nov 2025: Energetic, engaging & highly skilled teacher. The class was of a small size, allowing for one-one-one time with each student. We completed a figurative sculpture with guidance for all steps from start to finish. It was challenging and fast paced and I am very impressed with the outcome. I have come away with important skills that I will now be able to apply to my art practice. Thank you Alexander for sharing your knowledge & skills and for providing the time and space to do so.
• 5/5 from Krishnakoli Banerjea, attended Nov 2025: The workshop was extremely well conducted, very informative and 100% hands on. Alexander' s step by step instructions helped me achieve understanding of the process, resulting in beautiful sculpture, I didn't think I could produce. He was very attentive and gave his 100% time to the attendees equally, leaving no one behind. I need to mention that he went out of his way and provided me with special clay which was suitable for me to work with as I had a recent hand surgery. It was a very kind gesture, and that made the workshop really worthwhile for me. Thanks Alex. It was really the best workshop I have ever attended and the best way I could have spent that really wet, rainy Saturday. I would definitely do more workshops with him.

• 5/5 from Sofya Medvedeva, attended Aug 2025: I went to Alexander’s figure sculpting workshop and had so much fun! Alexander is a great teacher, he showed everything step by step, answered any questions and helped everyone individually. I’ve never done a traditional human clay sculpture (I make digital ones) and was amazed with the result. All the tools and materials were supplied. The art space has a great vibe, creative and welcoming. I loved every bit of it and the time went by so quickly! I will definitely do more workshops in the future!

• 5/5 from Simon Davidson, attended Aug 2025: Alexander was great, very well prepared and continually checked in to see if we were on track. Enjoyed the class.
• 5/5 from Tatjana Andelkovich, attended Jul 2025: The class was small which gave each of us the opportunity to spend time with Alexander. The facilities are creatively inspiring. Alexander is very generous with his knowledge and clay. He was encouraging is to use more rather than less. I have been in places where they say they supply you with what you need but ration. There was none of that here. Alexander started with a model for us to use as a guide. He then encouraged us to play, explore, add our own flair. We all walked away with a great 1st piece that was substantial in size. I truly enjoyed this class. I'm amazed with how much we learnt and achieved in a 6 hr session. Highly recommended
• 5/5 from Mike Collins, attended Jul 2025: This was my second class with Alex and while I found it more challenging than the first because it involved sclpting a full body, it was excellent. It is amazing ho much I could do in a day and learn so much along the way with this well-structured and resourced workshop.
