‘The workshop was bought for me as a gift and I loved it! It was a fascinating experience learning what charcoal is capable of. I made 7 completely different images on the day.
Tansy provided a supportive, creative space to explore the world of charcoal. I feel I now have the tools and confidence to go on some charcoal adventures.’ Steph
