Tony Lam says 

" Amazing class ! Fully equipped studio with exceedingly friendly, excessively knowledgeable and superbly talented Maggie Stein."

Student work, inked up and ready to print.

Student working on multi block design - carving out for first colour. Notice the same design is on 2 pieces of lino.

Some work from the June class.

One of my students inking up in orange Caligo ink. The inks I use are great quality oil based but still water wash up so fairly low toxicity.

I purchased this MES Stamp press in May this year and it is currently installed at Addison Road community centre where students can use it when they attend my classes.

Kids Classes
At present I am taking a break from after school teaching,
below are some works my class at Newtown did in 2013 (ages 8 - 12 yrs).

Seiko says
"Maggie's art class is very inspiring and interesting as she uses a variety of different materials. 
My daughter (10 years old) loves such creative time sharing with Maggie !
I'm enjoying seeing my daughter's creations every time she brings them home" 

Kaz says
"Our son had a great year with Maggie's art classes last year. she covers classic drawing techniques as well as craft activities using innovative materials and seems to know how to make her students think creatively.  
Our son is always happy after her class, which in itself shows her ability to connect with children."

Working in charoal - tonal drawings of themselves .

Charcoal Portraits - working with soft charcoal and a black page the students used a rubber to pick out the light tone - while working with the photograph upside down beside them .

Enjoying plein air painting - kids painted directly onto plywood inspired by their surroundings.

Red, red, red + great turquoise combination.

Nothing boring about staring at a brick wall !

Today I brought in some chive and sage flowers in vintage glass bottles - this is Lily's painting.

Fearghus made a stylish box person last week, we were inspired we were inspired by examples in Usborne's "365 things to do with paper and cardboard".

Thierry did a collage of a boy and bird - the back of the image looked interesting too so he hinged it and added some detail.
