'Ruth’s classes are always stimulating. She presents you with a series of bite-sized challenges and at the end of the class you surprise yourself with what you have been able to achieve.' Moira Vincentelli
Preparing for the classes
Familiarise yourself with zoom.
Make yourself comfortable
You won't need to see the screen at all times, as long as you can hear my suggestions, feel free to draw away from the screen. If you prefer to sit on a cushion on the floor, feel free. Make it as comfortable and relaxing for yourself as possible.
We ask you to keep your microphones on mute for the majority of the class but welcome questions all the way through the class. Please feel confident to unmute yourself when you need to ask a question and then mute again afterwards.
After the sessions
In some of the sessions, we will have time to share our work at the end, but there is an invitation to email Ruth your images after the class so we can see what you've been up to. Feel free to Email your work to
ruthkoffer@hotmail.co.uk or tag @ruthkofferdrawing if your a Facebook user. Please let your friends and family know about us if you like these events.
