TESTIMONIALS

'Sebastian's highly enthusiastic and inspiring teaching of all aspects of Art lies in his singular belief in the individual; that this individual can truly exceed expectations in their Art work and in doing so learn so much about themselves.'

Edward Twohig, Director of Art at Brighton College

'Sebastian enables you to produce work of the highest standard and without his encouragement, advice and guidance with my portfolio; I can honestly say that I would never have been offered a place at Parsons Paris University.'

J. Endres, Foundation student, Parson's Paris University

'I got my A*! Thankyou so much for all your help and guidance in the Artroom tutorials.'

E. Coates, Year 11

'David has been offered an art scholarship and the piece of work that the Head of Art was most impressed with was the wonderful Lucien Freud style painting he did with you at the Artroom.'

Mrs N. Nyman, parent of scholarship candidate

'Alex ,age 9, has had the pleasure and benefit of Art classes since Art room opened. He really enjoys the classes and we have seen progress in both his technical skills but also his understanding and appreciation of Art styles (which to be honest did not exist before art class!). Seb and Alison are friendly and expert teachers and I would, and have recommended Art room to any parent or child'

Jo M, parent of pupil

'I Just wanted to let you know that I got accepted onto the course and how positively the paintings from your Artroom classes affected the overall picture of my portfolio and application. Thank you so much.'

J. Vogel, Post Graduate student
