Vera now brings this passion along with her work ethics and energy to her present day artistic career. From the day she finish her Fine Art Degree Vera has been successfully carving out a unique place within the Arts and Culture sector. Vera is meticulous in her planning and execution in all her endeavors.

Vera, thank you so much for such a wonderful course. I can’t say how much I enjoyed it – the process itself and also the care with which you guided us all. It was just fabulous. I am, obviously, delighted with my pieces too!

‘I would highly recommend Vera’s glass workshop. It was such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, with Vera’s clear instructions and encouragement , I learned so much in such a short time and was delighted to complete necklaces and a framed piece. I look forward to doing another class in the near future.’

‘Vera related to our students very well and this was especially noted in a special class setting. She took time to get to know the children and the pitch and pace of her lessons suited our students very well. She adapted and differentiated for the range of abilities in the group very well. The children loved working with Vera.’

As a total non creative – always living and working in a logical problem solving environment, art is alien to me 😊 I took on Vera’s course while on time off recently. I loved it – Vera is so very encouraging, kind and patient – my baby steps into this lovely art form of glass art delighted me. I want more!
