Classes/Workshops
I enjoy sharing what I know about traditional and contemporary art, to teach skills and inspire creativity in people…
I am available for small groups and one-on-one tuition just contact me and we find what kind of class would be suitable for you. I provide from the total beginner to the more advanced artist.
Teaching from my own studio or hired studio spaces anywhere in Auckland and beyond. Here are some classes I run on a regular basis: Lifedrawing, ‘Creative Expression: Drawing Painting & Sculpture’, Urban Sketching, Landscape Sketching. For primary school children I have been organizing popular Holiday Art Programs.
“Suza has taught art workshops at The University of Auckland’s Centre for Continuing Education since 2004. Feedbacks on her workshops have always been very positive with students commenting on Suza’s professionalism, enthusiasm and her supportive and encouraging teaching style. It has always been a pleasure working with Suza. She has excellent skills as an adult educator and her creative ideas, and her boundless energy are refreshing and energizing”. Libby Passau, BA, Dip Tchg, Programme Manager. Continuing Education, The University of Auckland
“I have just attended the ‘Introduction to Landscape Sketching’ course. It was a really creative and relaxing experience —just like going away for a weekend’s holiday, but still being able to sleep in your own bed!” Kitty Monk (March 2011)
“Suza is my ideal art teacher, lively, informed relating to students whatever their experience or skill and with great enthusiasm, gentle care, and knowledge of historical and contemporary issues, she leads us all to create freely and confidentially.” Deborah Jones, participant at a 2009 summer workshop run by the CCE, The University of Auckland
“I really surprised myself by discovering what I was capable of creating… Suza’s teambuilding workshop was a great opportunity to try a different approach to traditional business solutions”. Sharyn Puncheon, Head of Consumer Process & Control, Westpac Bank, Auckland
I have recently joined Suza’s lifedrawing class and am finding it both stimulating and informative. Each week I look forward to what the next lesson will hold. Sandra Kubaisi (May 2011)
