Southgate Art Crossing
February 12, 2022

“Dan’s artwork for the Southgate crossing lights up the town centre with joyful colour. The piece brought delight to the local community during a difficult time mid-pandemic, and continues to give happiness to passers-by on a daily basis. We cannot thank Dan enough for her beautiful work and are proud to have her living and working in Enfield.”

Dan, with her infectious enthusiasm is an utter joy to work with. I can’t help but be impressed by the way she approaches the brief, coming up with really inventive and stunning solutions. She always delivers on time and on budget.

VW Campervan design
February 12, 2022

“Our campervan was a dowdy 30 something year old in need a of a makeover. We had in mind a bright modern colour, but every time we passed Dan’s multi-coloured art crossing, we thought “why not?”. After a thorough process of design and review, we were convinced that the answer was “no reason not too!”. The opportunity to watch a master at work followed, as pantones were adjusted, finishing options investigated and a paint shop finally selected. Dan left no stone unturned. The end result? In our opinion and all who have seen her, Dotty (she has a name now) is a triumph, she and her creator have exceeded our wildest dreams.”

Absolutely beautifully made, the packaging and attention to detail was superb. The message inside oozed with love and gratitude with a gift inside as an extra. Way beyond expectation, thank you.

Paper Sculpture workshop
February 10, 2022

Dan’s paper sculpting workshop was a relaxing and rewarding way to spend a Saturday! I started with no experience of paper sculpting and finished with a piece that I can mount in a frame. Dan was very warm and patient and gave very clear instructions, making the whole process very enjoyable. I look forward booking another workshop soon.

Paper Sculpture online workshop

I found the Paper Sculpture course highly enjoyable and engaging, the content and delivery were excellent. It certainly exceeded my expectations of what I could achieve as a novice and Dan expertly lead us through the steps required to gain confidence in this fascinating craft. There were extension options at each stage for those more experienced attendees which ensured that everyone’s ability was catered for. Can highly recommend.

Paper Sculpture workshop
February 1, 2022

Participating online in the paper sculpture workshop with Dan Maier was a real treat and a truly inspiring eye-opener to this fascinating world. Throughout the day we were taught so much from simple practical skills such as how to score paper properly, cut accurately with scissors, right through to the more complex moulding and creative side of making a 2D form into a 3-dimensional one!  By the end of the day I was amazed at what I had achieved and saw paper through different eyes. It was also lovely to meet other participants, share ideas and it has opened up a new world! Thank you Dan, what a really inspiring teacher you are.
