Sydney Art Space

I've been a student of Christine's for five years, and currently attend her wonderful sculpture lifeclass at Sydney Art Space.
Christine is a truly inspiring teacher, with a vast set of skills, and an incredible depth of knowledge which she imparts with sensitivity and patience, and a lovely sense of humour.
She has created a really nurturing artists space, where we learn so much, and have lots of fun on the creative journey!
Christine will expertly guide you through the sculpture process, which can be challenging, but ultimately so rewarding.
I thoroughly recommend Sydney Art Space.

I began sculpting with Christine about 12 years ago I think. Christine is that perfect blend of mentor/teacher. Always nurturing and always gently pushing you to more. I still remember when I first started and was so nervous and very quickly, Chris, and her students at the time (many of which are still with her) made me feel so welcome and and included. Fair to say that I count Chris now as a good friend, so in transparency as regards this review I feel I should say that, but as I write, I would say that most of her students would feel the same. I have now rented part of Chris's space in Mona Vale and have opened a store selling both my work and others. Without Chris's inspiration and confidence in my abilities I very much doubt that this would have happened or that I would have the self belief or ability to sell my own work. As you can see I highly recommend Sydney Art Space as a venue and know those that teach here under Christine's guidance all embody the values that Christine promotes.

I attended Christine's sculpting classes whilst going through the HSC. Christine helped me in creating a major work for my Art subject. Throughout the process she was patient and incredibly supportive. I had never sculpted before and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. She also managed to seamlessly move between the different level of skill that each student had. Had lots of fun and would definitely do another class in the future.

Christine Simpson brings to
mind a quote I once heard, "if you have one great teacher in your lifetime it can change your direction". I've had two, my singer teacher, Prof Heinrich Phillipsborn many years ago and Christine Simpson. I couldn't believe my luck to find someone the calibre of Christine within walking distance of my home. A great sculptor herself, she has introduced me to the love of sculpture and it's her passion for passing on her valuable knowledge that creates such a warm, beautiful studio environment for all of us, her students. Bravo Christine! You're a gem!
