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."

"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.

"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

"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".
