- 5/5 from Maxine Cole, attended Nov 2025: A fabulous day learning about Solar Plate Etching process. Creating our plate by timing 1/ in the vaccum, 2/washing off emulsion 3/ checking the plate, then placing it in the sun for 30 minutes. Recording the timing process in your journal. Next, the inking up, removing the excess ink, wetting our pre-cut 220gsm paper, then printing. A beautiful print is revealed. A big thank you to our wonderful tutor Sandra for instructing us and Judith our assistant. A great lunch together.
- 5/5 from Alex Tebb, attended Nov 2025: This is my second printmaking class with Sandra, with a whole new method this time around, and I loved it just as much. Sandra demystifies the printmaking process with clear instructions honed from many years of experience. She's always there to help you through any troubleshooting, and is armed with all the reminders to get you through, especially if you're as forgetful as I am. It was a great day with a wonderful group of students, and a special thank you to helper Judith too :)
- 5/5 from Trisha Wilson, attended Nov 2025: Another wonderful workshop learning a new printing process in a small group of enthusiastic students! Sandra is a fantastic teacher and in all her workshops takes the students step by step through the process with patience and excellent instructions. Notes are also supplied before the class which are very helpful. The studio is spacious and comfortable to work in and Sandra always has extra materials available if needed. Thank you for another great learning experience Sandra! Trisha
