"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Emma, who truly went above and beyond. She was fantastic with the children—kind, patient, and genuinely engaging throughout the session. Her ability to connect with each child and bring out their creativity was remarkable. The atmosphere she created was warm, supportive, and full of inspiration. The children not only learned new skills but left feeling proud and excited about their artwork. She was well-prepped with resources and incredibly punctual. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—she was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend!"

"We were very excited to have Emma in as part of our cultural study on Japan and Manga Art. Emma was fantastic a explain the history and culture behind the skills. Her presence with the kids was great and really highlighted our growth mindset approach. We would definitely ask Emma to come back. Thank you so much."

"Our Year 2's had a fantastic time on the clay workshop with Emma. They initially gained an understanding of where clay comes from and then had fun developing their own texture tiles and pinch pots. It was wonderful to have Emma to lead the session ; staff thought it was great and the children loved it!"

"Thank you for visiting us on Monday - the children really enjoyed the comic workshop and loved making their own characters to go in their comic strip. The resources you prepared were fantastic and the children were really enthused about the activities and the different ways to create a character. I know for us as teachers, providing us with the insight of the structure of a comic strip and how to simply but effectively plan one was great. I also know lot's of our pupils liked the idea of silent comics - which we hadn't thought of as of yet!" 

"I just wanted to say a very bag thank you for delivering a wonderful assembly and workshops on Friday. The children thoroughly enjoyed the art and this was evident in the wonderful work showcased within their sketchpads. Your attention to detail and fantastic delivery, all surrounding our botanical theme, was truly valued and I would most definitely recommend your workshops to other schools! Thanks you once again 🙂"

"Unicorns class have been carrying on their art today following a lesson that you sent me.  The children have been so enthusiastic about drawing. I thought I would attach some of their art work for you. Thank you so much for inspiring my class."

"Crosshall Infant School had a fantastic time with Emma from Go Sketch. Emma was so knowledgable and was able to share many tips and tricks to ensure art is taught in the most beneficial way. Everybody really enjoyed practicing techniques, using a variety of media and having the chance to be hands on throughout the morning. "

"Clay & sculpture was an area that staff asked for CPD. I found Emma online and she agreed to travel to deliver training to our school. All staff thoroughly enjoyed the inset training we received on clay & sculpture. They commented on how well paced it was and how it enabled them to be creative and explore. Year groups which weren't completing clay have now asked to add it to their MTP's. Emma tailored the training to our school curriculum and spoke to individual year groups about ideas and ways we could change and improve our lessons. The progression from nursery to year 6 will definitely be used."

"Thank you so much for the drawing/sketch book inset. It was a packed one with loads of information and practical ideas - thank you. You must have been exhausted afterwards! The staff loved it and even wanted to show me their own sketching of your tasks that we did. A few teachers have already done the robot drawings with their class and the kids came back asking for more :) "

"Thank you SO much for an amazing staff meeting – you are incredibly fab at what you do and I feel very lucky that myself and the rest of the staff team at Sea Mills got to learn from you this evening. I think it will really help boost staff confidence in drawing skills."

"In today’s classrooms, children’s experiences of painting and clay are often few and far between. We have sketchbooks and are well resourced in art, but teachers have not taken full advantage of the opportunities and experiences that they could be providing for their children. For this reason, I invited Emma from GO SKETCH in to lead two INSET training sessions for teachers – Air-Dry Clay in the Classroom and Painting in the Classroom. Both the theory and practical elements of the sessions were well-thought through and teachers now have the skills and confidence to teach painting and use clay in the classroom. These are big steps for the whole teaching team! I am excited about the new school year and the improved art curriculum offer that we will now be able to provide for the children at John Burns. We most definitely will be inviting Emma back for more INSET training for staff. Thank you!"

"The training was really useful for us as a school because it is one of the areas for staff development. This showed us how to include all the elements of art in our lessons. We found the progression document very helpful as we can now see what the elements should look like throughout the school. Emma was really supportive and answered all of our questions. Thank you"
