Testimonials

Dear Jan, Thank you so much for Saturday – it was such a success.  I spoke to my Mum and several of her friends who were all at the session too and they really thought it was fantastic! I could see from your slides that it was going to be good but the feedback was really superb so thank you so much for all your careful research, it really paid off. I think what people particularly enjoyed was the way you brought them into the conversation and shared your knowledge in such an inclusive way. 

SH – Art Gallery, Exeter

It was a real pleasure to learn from your extensive research and to spend a few hours talking about and looking at art. 

KS, Exeter

Dear Jan, Thank you very much, once again, for delivering your talk on Tuesday – and especially for prompting the students for their responses. I think you’ve warmed them up very well for future occasions!

AH, University of Bristol

This year’s tenth Ken Grieb lecture was a success with much laughter and learning.
