More Testimonials:
Yes I would totally recommend Emma as an art teacher and mentor. She is so warm and encouraging in her approach and I feel like she brings out the best painting from me. She helps me get in touch with my authentic and free place of creativity. She helps me to see incredible possibilities in my own technique. She pulls out inspiring narratives and ideas that I hadn't the first clue to discover for my self.

It was Wonderful to meet and learn from Emma. Her warmth and spacious guidance led me to greater spontaneity and artistic courage. I loved the intelligent structuring of the day, and the ‘experimenting’ aspects of the event, as well as Emma’s great ability to connect with all present participants.
Agnieszka Sadowska, Workshop Participant
Emma Is a star. She helped me decipher and untangle the messy threads of a potential story, and begin to weave them into a tangible outline and structure. Her insightfulness combined with razor-sharp integrity and practical experience helped map the creative process into manageable achievable chunks. Thankful!
Lindsay Alderton Workshop Participant
I would really recommend speaking with Emma for advice on creative journaling and narratives, particularly anything regarding working with personal stories. Since her approach is so gentle and welcoming, she holds a space where it's comfortable to work with tricky topics and still delve into the practical side of things. I never fail to come away energised and inspired!
Laura Elliott Workshop Participant
I had a mentoring review with Emma last year at the LDC Festival weekend and haven't regretted it for one moment. She was calm, warm, approachable and encouraging and gave me lots of practical advice on next steps with my cartoons. I came away feeling energised and keen, and clearer in my head! 🙂

Emma is a fantastic teacher! She has provided me with techniques and exercises for creating comics that helped me immensely, particularly with character development. Without her input, I’d never have even attempted to create my zine, which has now been shortlisted for the LDC Award. She instilled a lot of confidence in me and my abilities and I hugely recommend her to any comic or graphic novel artist looking for advice and encouragement.

Emma Burleigh tutored Love Art Classes regularly for about 4 years teaching art to adults from Beginners to Advanced level on a weekly basis and also 1 day workshops. Not only is Emma is a fabulous watercolourist, she has also taught drawing skills, pastel painting and acrylic painting plus a range of other mediums for Love Art. I have complete confidence in Emma, such is her vast experience of teaching art, she can handle pretty much any artistic subject.
Emma’s holistic and mindful approach to art makes the students feel very relaxed and her inclusive style translates into a very positive experience for anyone taught by her. When Emma takes a class, students very much feel like she is with them on their own artistic journey. From my experience of working with Emma, it is clear that she can tease out some artistic talent in everyone. Her creative and interactive approach to teaching results in students feeling like they have progressed and learned something new each time.
Emma’s organisational skills are excellent, from the materials and supporting paperwork to the timings so I always feel completely at ease when working with her.
I would highly recommend Emma to deliver art classes or workshops, she is a pleasure to work with and a wonderful artist.
