Just had to write and thank you for an amazing trip. Although my trip to Italy earlier in the year was an excellent introduction, I feel I got more out of our trip, both personally and intellectually, mainly because of the size of the group and the informal approach. I will never forget all the things we did like sitting in the Campo doing exam papers with a 'splashette', talking in considerable detail about the art we saw, seeing the winning Palio Contado celebrations, eating fantastic food, drinking lots of wine and grappa and having some very interesting in-depth conversations. The group dynamics meant that everyone got their say and no-one dominated the conversation - something you don't often find.

What a fantastic and worthwhile trip this was...Great company, great socially and very, very informative. It gave me a whole new perspective on analysing and understanding a work of art.

[As] a registered disabled student I participated in activities organised by Sue Vost including visits to art galleries and museums in London and a visit to Italy. The excellence of Sue's administrative arrangements soon dispelled my initial fears of undertaking the trip..I feel privileged to have been one of her students.

Brilliant - an enthusiastic professional presentation every week, conducted in a relaxed informal atmosphere where questions were encouraged and discussions allowed.

Sue...opened up a new area of Art which previously you would only vaguely have known about.
