Spending the day with Clare Wassermann was both therapeutic and inspirational. She’s a wonderful teacher who makes art accessible for beginners and offers interesting ideas for those who are more advanced. I came out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated with a piece of artwork that I didn’t know I was capable of.  J.A.B August 2016
