Suzanne Kelleher’s palette knife painting workshop for the Design and Visual Art teachers at Mount Alvernia College was excellent! The session was thoughtfully organised and reasonably priced, with all necessary resources provided, making it seamless and enjoyable for everyone involved. Suzanne’s approach offered a wonderful opportunity for teachers to tap into their creativity and reconnect with the student experience. What’s so wonderful is that Suzanne is a local Brisbane artist. I highly recommend this enriching and inspiring workshop to any educators looking to enhance their artistic skills and classroom inspiration.
