"If you're alive, your're a creative person. Do whatever brings life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart" Elizabeth Gilbert "If given the choice, choose what makes your life larger rather than smaller" Clarisssa Pinkola Estes
"I loved your class. I love your teaching style, so utterly competent yet non threatening. Really helped allay my huge fears. I think you are very skilled at creating and leading a supportive safe group"
"I think you've really helped me to feel freer, far less precious or concerned with the outcome. It's been great to just dive in, become completely absorbed, then have the fun and excitement of seeing what ended up on my paper. I've been quite surprised that I've liked a lot of what I've produced, and seen it all as experiments, play and exploration rather than failures or disasters, which is how I would have looked at my scribblings once upon a time! I've really enjoyed the way you teach, your approach and the subject matter you choose"
"Thank you Colette for an absolutely lovely class. The pace was perfect. I learnt such a lot in two hours! It was so good to see my mother relax and we were were laughing together which was probably the first time since the beginning of lockdown. I know she loved it and I know what my next present will be to her. Another class!! We giggled all the way home!!"
