This was my first time visiting the Corban Estate Arts Centre, it will not be my last. The class experience was excellent. Verity is a gifted artist, great teacher who consistently provided support and encouragement. In a few short weeks I was able to gain some confidence in my ideas and came away wanting to continue to experiment with paint and painting. As an absolute novice with paint and painting I am so pleased I had the experience of this class. John

Really good to receive quality tutoring from Verity who provided invaluable knowledge about the traditional technical ways of art making and also encourage the creative personal projects for each of us. Compared to other classes I’ve done, I really enjoyed the technical aspects in this course. It’s like going to art school but closer to home!
