February Guild Meeting - Suzanne Gummow - spoke about the value and joy of teaching & lecturing over her lifetime. Tell; Show; Do; Review being a consistent method & hoping to inspire & ignite a spark in a student. Visuals of work across the various forms of teaching were very interesting. Suzannes personal work covers two themes, flowers & her travels in Asia. Thanks Suzanne for sharing with us.
