What my clients say about me
CHRISTINE OTLA observer
“Suzanne has a rare innate ability to inspire learners to push the boundaries and aspire to achieve great results.”
“Suzanne exhibits an exceptional synergy between creativity and teaching ability that inspires learners to continually engage, ……..to ensure they achieve their own learning objectives”
“Suzanne is professional, enthusiastic, and demonstrates an extensive expert knowledge and is very motivational; she continued throughout the workshop to maintain direct personal links with every individual leaner and was incredibly attuned to learners’ needs, attitudes and capabilities. One older learner who lacked the underlying requisite skillset was supported without interrupting the broader class dynamic; an example of exceptional pedagogical skills”
ANNE - Suzanne is extremely knowledgeable and generous with her experience, she is always able to teach me how to make whatever I have in mind, she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone and to try new things. My confidence and ability have grown massively under her patient tutelage.
MAGGIE - I went to a stained-glass workshop run by Suzanne in 2015 and also tried my hand at fused glass. I was so pleased with the results that I signed up for her adult education class and have been going ever since. At first I was terrified at the thought of cutting glass but Suzanne was so helpful and reassuring that I soon became quite good at it. Suzanne is excellent at helping me achieve the effect and ideas I want to achieve in glass and encouraging me to keep moving forward to more ambitious projects. I love going to her classes and find them very rewarding.
FRANCES - I have been attending a glass class with Suzanne for nearly 6 years. Initially it was trying my hand a something within the creative field having retired. How hooked can you get, you can become immersed in colour and form and produce functional or decorative pieces. Suzanne is a competent and inspiring teacher willing to go at your speed. Her skills in teaching have enabled me to progress well, she is always willing to go that extra mile to help you achieve your aim.
