Feedback on Michael Sanders' Adult Education Classes

Some comments from people who have attended Michael Sanders' classes:

"I found him very helpful and enthusiastic. . . excellent. . .Thank you, Michael, for your tuition and inspiration to newcomers of the 'art world'. We look forward to further workshops in Calstock."

"I have to say that you probably taught me more about 'mixing' and the 'understanding' of colour than all the other classes I have ever been to! - thank you"

"I am quite excited at the prospect of embarking on water based oils."

"It has been a most enjoyable class and you have put a lot of effort into it to make it so. I like your style of teaching and I learnt a lot. You have been very generous with materials."

"I very much enjoyed your demonstrations and ways of getting round tricky problems and hope to keep going with you in the autumn."

"As a tutor, I find you first class and have learnt more from you than I have for a long time with others. Congratulations."

"Until I joined this group I had never had a lesson with a tutor. I had learned only from books so I kept on making the same mistakes. I really enjoy my lessons and feel I am improving, you make me see things in a different way. I think you are a very good tutor."

Extract from an article published in a Plymouth paper:

". . .I hadn't picked up a paint brush...until art tutor Michael Sanders came on the phone promising: 'Anyone can paint, even you, Martin.' What's more, he wanted to prove I could do better than the entrants in the £20,000 Turner Prize . . . Two hours after first picking up a pencil, I finally signed my name and put down the brush and knife. Not only, in my humble opinion, does the picture look like a dog, but it looks like my dog looks. If you know what I mean. . . Michael Sanders is the finished article - a genius of a tutor . . . And me? Darling, I am an artist" (Martin Freeman, Evening Herald, November 1999).
