I had a great one-on-one class with Niki. I really liked that we worked together with Niki first explaining and then showing what we were to draw and that we then drew together. She was really clear in her instructions and provided lots of helpful advice and tips. I could feel the Zen aspect as it became a relaxed and engrossing 2+ hours. A thoroughly enjoyable class, which I highly recommend. Thanks Niki!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first zentangle workshop and Nikki was great at explaining/demonstrating each step. Also really loved the zentangle kit Nikki sent before the class. Amazing value for money.

I can't recommend this class enough! Niki was friendly, accommodating, down to earth and I enjoyed every minute of her class! I didn't think I could draw but this class has inspired me. I loved the Zentangle concept and will be continuing with it. Thanks Niki for sharing with us!

Niki is an excellent teacher, patient and cheerful. Her pre-course package of materials arrived promptly and was lovingly packaged with a personalised note - such wonderful presentation. i would recommend Niki's course for beginners right through to more experienced artists.

Elizabeth Cummins • Dec 2020

Lovely relaxed class where all of us (with different levels of experience) could easily participate! Clear demonstrations teach you great looking techniques, with lots of great tips and add on suggestions. Great fun - thanks Niki!

Learn Zentangle® for Kids

A very interesting class that showed me how to channel my focus into the intricate details of the art of zentangle. I really loved the shading too.

Marion • Nov 2020

Niki was a fabulous zentangle teacher, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. It was well paced and easy to follow. The kit was excellent and everything was presented so well.

Carer Vmch • Nov 2020

Another wonderful class from Niki. Her instructions are clear and easy to understand, and the ladies loved learning how to Zentangle and about the many different designs you can do.
A quote from one of today's participants: "Loved the Zentangle class today, good little skill to use to refocus. Reminded me of how much I loved doodling as a child."
Thanks Niki :-)

Romaine Moss • Nov 2020

Very relaxing great instruction and well paced felt very satisfied with what I could achieve

Trish Kennett • Nov 2020

The class was a birthday gift, excellent idea, took class with my sister and we have been sending each other our designs back and forth since the class. The style gave me insights into my hand movements when drawing, to let the paper move instead of my arms. Very interesting.

Alena Tsarkova • Nov 2020

Great class Niki guided us step by step, but still giving us freedom to create our personal artwork.
I was anxious before the class about drawing straight with a pen, as I get nervous about making mistakes and then hating the artwork. But during this class, that anxiety just went away and I was in such a zone creating the zen patterns.
HIGHLY recommend this class!
Thanks Niki

Jodie Behn • Nov 2020

What a fantastic way to keep creative . Found the materials of excellent quality and prompt delivery. Niki instantly made you feel welcomed and relaxed . Niki presented the Zentangle workshop in a fun and professional style . Enjoyed the Zentangle Workshop and would definitely recommend. Thank you Niki for allowing myself a 2 hour creative escape.

Tegan Webb • Nov 2020

Thanks, Nikki! Initially I was overwhelmed by the patterns Nikki was showing, as they seemed so complicated and elaborate. But with step by step instructions and lots of reassurance, we were all able to produce an amazingly detailed tile! I'm keen to keep practicing, and very keen to try the other classes Nikki runs.

Susan Lawrence • Nov 2020

Loved the Zentangle buttons class today. Understanding the shading effect to give perspective and hilighting though use of crayon. Look forward to more classes. Nikki was fun and informative as usual. Small class size was a bonus.

I have had a few session with Nikki and have enjoyed them so much. I learn new techniques every time and I am amazed at how good my zen tangles turn out. Nikki is a great teacher!

Trish Ke • Oct 2020

Had a fabulous time, the two hours flew past. I am booked for another next month.

Liz Cummins • Oct 2020

That was terrific. Nikki explained everything really clearly and at an easy pace. Demonstrations / excercises were simple for beginners and then Nikki showed us more complex versions of the same thing. Techniques shown were useful and Nikki clearly revised everything after each part of the class. Nice small class - very relaxing and enjoyable. Would do more!
