Customer's Remarks
I got introduced to fine jewellery from MasterArtclasses. Since then, I have learned other skills like chasing and repousse -working with metal foil and also doing silk painting and many more crafts.
My interactions with MasterArtclasses has taught me versatility and the importance of starting small with resources available.
I highly recommend MasterArtclasses to anyone who wants to learn more about African art and crafts techniques and increase their skills base
I had looked around so hard on where I could learn about Adire properly and all pointed at Prof. Peju Layiwola of Wy Art Centre and Head of Department of Visual Art, the University of Lagos at that time. Being an alumna of the University of Lagos myself, I was even more convinced that I would be learning from the best and it was the most rewarding experience. Her delivery of the content needed for my journey was exceptionally professional for the age-long art of making Adire. The support she gave continuously provided great answers to the questions I had all along with my business of textiles. She breaks it down and demystifies into great simplicity. With Prof., everything impossible with learning the skill you require becomes possible and even inspires you to do more.
I have found MasterArtClasses a great resource for learning a lot about art. Prior to my discovering this platform, I had no idea I could make a lot of money from the skills I acquired. I have an SME for making Ready -To-Wear clothing. I am able to make, sell and distribute my products across Nigeria. Thanks to MasterArtClasses.
Getting trained at MasterArtClasses has catapulted my jewelry brand to a level where we can now deliver high quality, and for this reason we have the happiest customers
My training was only a few weeks but has exposed me to a wealth of knowledge that's worth decades. This is a credible surce for learning where there is no attempt to hold back Learning at Masterartclasses changed my whole game for good. I am happy I learnt at Masterartclasses.

I have followed the platform for training for several years through the Women and Youth Art Fou dation and now, MasterArtClasses. What I am today is as a result of the wealth of knowledge I have acquired from these two platforms. I learnt metal embossing from Professor Layiwola and this has become my main medium. My works have been exhibited both locally and internationally and I am grateful for this unique learning experience at MasterArtClasses.
