What Former Course Participants Have Said "This isn't the first course I have done with Maureen, nor will it be the last. To begin with, the place itself is out of a fairy tale. Maureen's studio is set in the midst of a garden which you fall in love with immediately. She is a special person, very generous, who likes sharing her vast knowledge of etching and printing, which she transmits in a clear and simple manner. Courses like this bring out your creativity and inspire you to do better, more gratifying work. Besides, everything is shared with your fellow students, with whom you also exchange knowledge and the fun of learning. Maureen's courses are a real discovery and a gift for the senses. I want to send all my gratitude and a big hug to Maureen, maestra printer and friend." Carmen
Almécija "Dear Maureen, Thank you for everything. I am leaving with a wealth of knowledge, but also wonderfully relaxed. You have been so welcoming I have come to feel really at home in your studio and in Granada. I couldn't have asked for a better working holiday. I will most definitely be back to visit. Much love, Abbie Luck, London" "Dear Maureen, This was the best holiday ever! Thank you for all your hospitality--I feel very much at home in your studio and at your kitchen table. You've really inspired me to take art more seriously and to get back to making art. I will certainly keep in touch and hope to return for another workshop. Take good care. Love, Karoline Piedra. Switzerland/USA" "Estar en tu estudio, Maureen, es una experiencia mágica y poetica. Es como conectar con otro nivel de consciencia. ¡Gracias! Eres un gran artista, como pintora y como persona. Laura Apolonio, julio 2009 (italiane en Granada) "This printmaking workshop has been an exhilarating experience for me. Not only is Maureen a wonderful printer, but she is a very focused and generous teacher, and I shall be going home bursting with techniques and ideas to explore and develop on my own. The other course participants were great fun, very welcoming and willing to share their printing experiences and time with me." Catheran
Ryan "Maureen, you have shown me a new world and opened me a window to the sun. I appreciate infinitely your knowledge of printmaking, and I'm leaving the door open for more. I admire you as an artist and a very gentle person." Luis Filcer "This week has opened up a whole new set of printmaking possibilities for me. The process of creating a plate can go in so many different directions! Thanks indeed for a very stimulating week. I look forward to following up ideas when back in London. Also thanks for making me so welcome in Granada." Peter
Esslemont "Dificilmente plasmaría con palabras la experiencia de esta semana, pero en mi corazón de artista.... poco a poco todo lo que tengo que ir asimilando. Maureen, me has conmovido profundamente y quiero seguir bebiendo esta sabiduría en el hacer nuestro. Te admiro y te quiero," Maruja
Cantos "I couldn't have experienced a more unique and intensive printmaking workshop anywhere else in the world. It was much better than learning in an academic class. Maureen is an exceptional professional and teacher. Her knowledge, passion and intimacy in the workshop were very refreshing. I have gained a very solid foundation in the processes in printmaking and it has inspired me to continue making prints. This experience has made an intense impression on me." Patricia
Luck "El
taller de Maureen es el hogar de las personas que ella acepta para
transmitrle su larga experiencia en el mundo fascinante del grabado,
con sus técnicas más académicas y sus trucos
y rincones más habituales de su quehacer diario. Todo aquí
es diferente de una escuela habitual...... hay que dejar la competitividad
propia de la vida para dar paso a la guía auténtica
que sólo se da en su hogar del grabado". |
