“I enjoyed having a class with Despina. She gave me lots of useful advice during the 1-1. I found it very inspiring when Despina shared her thoughts on the group's artworks. I enjoyed listening to her sharing ideas. Also, I enjoyed the artist talk from Charlie and Gertrude. Their practices are fascinating and inspiring. For the final presentation, I've learned so much from the groups and the comments from Professor Johnny Golding and Denys Zacharopoulos were very rich and on points.”

“It was great to have a cohort from such diverse backgrounds and practices, I think everyone's approach and willingness to share ideas and references made collaborating fun and greatly enriched the over all experience of the course.”

“My aim in the course was to gain clarity about my work. I felt like I was at a dead end and that's how it was. Despinas well-founded, honest and clear feedback hit the mark and led me out of the impasse. That is very very valuable to me. The whole team was incredibly friendly and helpful. The entire course is super professionally structured and guided. I was incredibly impressed and delighted by the passion for art and above all, the self-image that was practiced. The overall attitude towards arts in all disciplines and the artists inspired me.”
