ABOUT LIZ:
I'm an artist, author and teacher. I love the creative process and taking part in it whether I'm creating my own work or assisting others to do their own. I adore making books and I've been creating them since I first fell in love with the concept 20 years ago. My classes are fun, loose and easy to be in. It doesn't matter what your level of creativity is, I work with the individual at a level at which he or she is comfortable with.
Here's some feedback from students:
SONIA:
Liz is amazing! Her warmth and beauty radiate. Thanks for sharing your talent and love of your craft. Immensely grateful
ELLA KAY:
Had a lovely time yesterday creating our journals. Liz was so helpful and kind. Having seen myself as a not very artistic person, I felt very relaxed and got super enthusiastic and into the book making and ended up with something I'm proud of. Would highly recommend Liz and the artwork she produces.
BELINDA:
Liz is an amazing teacher. She is open and patient and genuinely interested in the creative process. We had a great weekend doing the Dyed and gone to heaven workshop. She welcomed us into her home and made us all very welcome even providing home baked goods for morning tea. I highly recommend her classes for a novice or advanced artist. You won’t be disappointed.
