  • “Tor was very friendly and easy to talk to. She helped me to work out why I was unhappy with a piece I'd been struggling with, and her suggestions were so helpful in getting it back on track. Tor also encouraged me to experiment with scale and gave me advice about agents. I felt really energised after our tutorial - it was very uplifting!”
