Here is some feedback from Jorgen’s winter classes (2026):

A truly wonderful experience.  Learned so much about something entirely new for me. Great, passionate fun teacher. A lovely man. Made the concept very straightforward. Worked with each of us individually in addition to working with the entire class. By the last class last night, no one wanted it to end. We stayed almost an hour beyond the end of class talking, sharing goodies that a couple of us had brought, showcasing our work, taking photos… sharing phone numbers. He is generous. He is inspirational.  He is passionate and focused. A fabulous and motivational four weeks.”

“Jorgen is an experienced professional who is an excellent teacher and gives great feedback. I have learnt a lot from his drawing classes and would recommend his class to all levels of skill level as you would always learn something from him . He makes the classes fun and informative.”

“Jorgen is a character who keeps the class in good spirits.  He knows his craft and had a clear plan for the class.  His lessons were useful and shared insights into techniques that could quickly elevate your work. He spent time both reviewing work as a class and working with each student one-on-one – and was good about addressing areas for improvement while still being positive about our work.  Jorgen understands what it means to teach and manage a class.”

“The class was interesting, informative, structured, and fun.  Too bad it was only 4 weeks.”
