What Other's Are Saying

Unparalleled Artistic Experience

Allison B Cooke, Mixed Media Artist, USA

"Lorna Crane’s workshops offer an unparalleled artistic experience.

She is one of the most dedicated, talented, and gifted artists I've had the pleasure of knowing.

I count Lorna among the most important artists working today.

Her students will gain a wealth of information about materials and techniques, but will also greatly appreciate Lorna's abilities to bring the spirit of play and experimentation into making compelling artworks. "

Ongoing Confidence

Trisha Findlay - Artist & Maker

"I have followed Lorna’s work and practice for a few years now and wanted to widen my own practice through working with her.

I was not disappointed.

I found her to be an excellent tutor who shared her own knowledge and work practice freely. I came away with new ideas for my own work and a renewed sense of confidence in the “rightness” of my own practice which has been ongoing. "

Experienced Facilitator

Ann Brown, Artist

"I have had the pleasure of being totally immersed in two of Lorna’s amazing workshops.

Lorna is able to bring out the best of each participant by respecting their approach to mark-making and encouraging risk-taking with materials and imagery.

Lorna is articulate and organised, in both planning of a workshop, and the demonstration of technique and ideas."

New Direction

Tracey Murphy - Artist & Maker

“Lorna is a true talent to the arts.

Not only did she make me feel comfortable, she pushed me in a new direction, opened my mind to creating my own signature/style which has stayed with me thanks to her professionalism as a fabulous tutor.”

Passion Into a Career

Kuweni Dias-Mendis, Contemporary Artist

In each of the master classes I have felt free to be myself, the learning atmosphere was warm, making me feel I belonged and most importantly Lorna’s gentle way of guiding helped me tap into my authentic creative voice.

Having attended a week long Masterclass, the techniques , room for reflection and sharing the story allowed my creativity to attain the “flow “ state that it liberated my passion into a career.

Follow Your Own Route

Denice Walker, England
