• 5/5 from Vanessa Mozayani, attended Oct 2024: I really didn’t know much about the art form before doing this course. I just really liked the final product, I have come away knowing so much. Lisa gave a hand out with lots of information and shared lots of tips as she demonstrated how to prepare the paper or fabric and then how to create an artwork. She had lots of examples to show and inspire the group. The materials provided were a great quality. It was a lovely afternoon creating 3 paper artworks and 1 on fabric. The venue has lots of parking and was easy to find.
