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, ver 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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".
