A most informative and enjoyable day. Margo was extremely knowledgable and very keen to share her knowledge and tips. She was well organised and planned activities that will be very useful for future programming. Fantastic. Thankyou!
A great day. Margo was really generous and knowledgable. We were able to see every stage of the slip casting due to her tremendous organisation and its always nice to be able to take something home.
Good info on OH & S. Handy ideas for using skills in the class room. Overall a very informative day.
Fantastic practical knowledge that can be used with a range of students eg - specialized students to advance HSC Art students. Inspirational and educational. Thankyou.
Very informative, lots of techniques covered, excellent advice and work safety issues covered. All my questions were answered thoroughly and it was a great experience to talk not only to Margo but other teachers as well. Great!.
