"Sonsoles is a very welcoming environment that's also well set up in terms of equipment to develop your print-making practice. The addition of the masterclasses is really important because it enables you to learn new techniques and troubleshoot your existing approach. I really benefited from the tuition and would definitely recommend it as a way to fuel your own creative progress"
