| | | | | | Steffi's teaching career has spanned 20 years and has included artist in residence on a number of schools projects, community arts projects involving different minority groups, individual and group private tuition for adults and children, and painting holidays in Spain for mixed ability groups. | | | Steffi is an accomplished and gifted teacher who derives great satisfaction from the teaching process. She has an outstanding record of success with her pupils whether in formal examinations or encouraging and inspiring the beginner giving them the confidence to express themselves fully without limiting their individual capability. | | |  | Sculpture workshops using clay and mod-roc to create interesting 3D pieces which are then painted with acrylic paint and varnished. "I have been a student of Steffi’s for over 3 years and during that time we have covered a wide variety of media from oil paints to model making." "Steffi’s style of teaching is very relaxed and she encourages us to try out many styles of painting from copying a classic to modern art." Katie Davies | | |  | Rodin workshop, looking at the hand and sculpting it in clay. 'The group have improved greatly and have progressed from enthusiastic incompetence to enthusiastic competence! Steffi teaches across a variety of styles & mediums in areas we feel comfortable with as well as pushing our boundaries into areas we are unsure of, this has been exciting and challenging as we have learnt many new painting techniques and skills along the way. I would greatly encourage anyone to have a go.' Mary O'Connor

"I started attending Steffi's informal art evenings about three or four months ago, and have found her to be an inspiring teacher and encourager. She is relaxed and puts us at our ease, but manages to challenge us to reach new heights. | | |
Our class is a mixture of adults and teenagers of mixed abilities and each of us learns something new every time, from basic techniques to advanced uses of different media. I would highly recommend Steffi as an art teacher/art group leader - her creativity is wonderfully varied."
Janie Turner |  | | | | | |  | "Steffi presents a unique and informal way to learn all aspects of art. Each session is tailor made for the student or students which in turn allows individual preference and talent to shine through. My sessions have allowed me to grow in confidence both artistically and emotionally." Cathy Parmenter | | | | | |  | Yasmin has spent a couple of years working with Steffi on a one to one basis, we have covered many areas of art, particularly people, which Yasmin finds most inspiring.
This is Yasmin with her canvas in the style of Edouard Vuillard, an artist we studied for a number of weeks.
