I came home today from Armi's Mono-printing workshop with a spring in my step, a big smile on my face and bursting with inspiration and motivation to carry on exploring! Armi's home was beautiful , her studio is what we all dream of having and she was relaxed and clear in her instruction. It was a well-needed reminder , not only of mono-printing as a technique but of how to freely experiment with materials & pattern like I used to in those art college days. I could easily have spent the rest of the day there to continue so I will definitely be going back! I'm excited to get back to my desk tomorrow and carry on.... Thankyou Armi and everyone else who was there today!"
"What an inspiring, fantastic afternoon. I had so much fun and learned oodles about mono and gelli printing. Armi allows you to develop your print with as much or as little help as required. She is passionate about printing and it shows in her work and teaching. I'm utterly thrilled with the pieces I produced and I am looking forward to the Armi's art booklet stitching course. The venue is as equally as inspiring as the course. Design-led, light and airy studio - simply stunning. And, the refreshments.... wow! Home-made cakes – artisan, delectable, moreish!" Jo
Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable. Tutor very welcoming and helpful. And there was cake! tim
"Walked into Armi's fully equipped print studio at her home and felt so excited to get learning. Homemade cake and tea in hand while Armi went through basic ideas for producing amazing prints. With a small group the creativity flowed, the Elephant photos I took as my own inspiration soon became artistic individual prints that I am proud to display at home." Debbie
We learnt how to make a plate for printing using different materials. Having done one of Armi’s workshops before I knew how welcoming and helpful she is. The venue is beautiful. leena
"Armi is a fantastic teacher and her tranquil workshop is set in a beautiful courtyard garden. Despite my limited art experience, she made me feel at ease straight away. Inspirational, refreshing and highly recommended. Fabulous home made cake also!" Rhiannon
This workshop was outstanding. We all loved it and were inspired by the tutor and quality of teaching and support. My only possible negative would be that it wasn't quite long enough to absorb a new skill and felt rather rushed at the end - in spite of the tutor's willingness to go into overtime! But even so – a wonderful experience. marcia
"I had a lovely informative afternoon at Armi’s beautiful studio. Despite having no previous experience I was always encouraged and enabled to produce several different prints. Armi supplied an enormous amount of materials, paints and papers. The afternoon was a delight especially with the added benefit of tea and homemade cake!" Wendy
Four girlfriends and I had the most wonderful evening together with Armi!! We made some great prints and inspired to do more. It was such an informative and creative evening, whilst being very informal and fun. Thank you so much!!! I cannot recommend more highly. emma
"I attended this class with my two nieces and nephew and we came away absolutely buzzing with excitement! It was a great class and Armi is a fantastic teacher. We learnt something really fun and new but also came away infused with confidence and full of ideas, plus handfuls of artwork to show off. Armi was incredibly welcoming and started off the lesson with a few drawing exorcises that got us going and gave us tonnes of confidence to start creating prints straight away. I've never done anything like this before and at the ripe old age of forty something discovered that I'm not actually so terrible at drawing after all! The young ones (teen's) had so much fun and declared it the 'best Christmas present ever'. My nephew showed his work to his art teacher at school who was most impressed and has been told that he can include it in his GCSE art portfolio. He has declared that printing his favourite medium. What more can I say? It was utterly brilliant, the setting was perfect and inspiring, Armi has the dream studio and it was an utter pleasure spending a few hours in there. Nothing compares to the generosity of those who share their knowledge and build confidence in other people; thank you Armi. :O)" Chloe
Truly brilliant workshop I only wish it could have lasted all day. Armi’s studio is beautiful and well stocked with wonderful materials; she is a creative, kind and inspirational teacher. And the cake was delicious. I learnt a huge amount and now feel confident to undertake my own Lino printing projects. sophie
