3 day intensive apprenticeship through VAWAA

Read this review of Denise who came for a 3 day intensive course through VAWAA:

"My time with Tessa in her studio was absolutely excellent. We focused on gel plate printing and abstract collage, which was what I had requested. Along the way, I learned a dozen things that I hadn't known regarding materials and methods. Tessa's own work is really gorgeous and is prominently displayed in her studio. It, like Tessa herself, was a source of inspiration and instruction. Tessa's studio is well stocked with every imaginable need as well as an extensive art library. I loved that we got right down to business. Tessa had a plan for me, and we executed it. And as promised, there were snacks and tea and coffee. Tessa is an accomplished artist and teacher; and she is a kind-hearted person. I loved being in her presence. It's possible to stay with Tessa in her guest room. I did not choose to do that because I was traveling with my daughter. I think it would have been lovely to stay with Tessa, and I would recommend it --even though I didn't do it. The neighborhood is walkable with a multitude of restaurants nearby."

Ik heb genoten van het collage blok, je bent een leuke docent en goede gastvrouw. Mijn creativiteit is weer losgekomen na de depressieve winterslaap. Dank hiervoor!

I truly enjoyed Tessa's workshop. She is an enthusiastic teacher full of good ideas and tips and I am inspired to continue with collage and gel plate printing. Tessa's atelier is a cozy workplace and she is great at giving individual attention to everyone.

Tessa is een fijne docente, kundig en warm. Ze heeft me veel mogelijkheden van printen met de gelliplate laten zien, waarmee ik zelf verder kan experimenteren. Heel erg leuk en mooi, al die verrassingseffecten die ontstaan. Tessa kon goed inspelen op mijn spontane vragen en ideeen en tegelijk de focus op de overdracht van haar expertise houden.

I really enjoyed creating my artist's book from Gelli Plate Printing with Tessa. The richness of textures coming out of such a direct and doable process was so playful and relaxing. Beyond leaving with my own artist's book, I left with so many insights and pieces of wisdom from Tessa who is a warm and generous soul and natural teacher. She has a knack for bringing the creative spirit out of people. This is a special gift that I appreciate immensely!
