Blair Zhang

The class with Blair was great - she was a lovely teacher and very encouraging, even for beginners! She's clearly talented at what she does but breaks down the shapes and colouring to make it look very easy. Venue was perfect and really convenient being right across from the train station. Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon.

Interesting class. Helpful teacher who was kind and interactive. The class needs more organisation though I feel. It was a bit all over the place and ran over scheduled time.

Blair came to us for a 3 hour Watercolour workshop. She provided all the materials and showed us samples of her beautiful work. We agreed on a subject then she set to teaching us in great detail how to go about painting with watercolour. Blair was great fun, very passionate about art and patiently went through the process several times until we felt confident. We found the class very worthwhile and enjoyable. Thanks!

Blair was an extremely attentive and helpful teacher. Throughout the class her feedback was not generic, it was specific to each student and therefore making the whole experience wonderful. Would recccomend for a girls date or team building.

I really enjoyed the class with Blair. She was very flexible. I was the only person in the AM class as the other changed to the PM one, Blair let me choose what I wanted to paint. She was very friendly and helpful. The venue was super convenient just right in front of Train station.
Ps. Thank Blair for the yummy cake! I’ll be back for another class!

I signed up for bontanical watercolor workshop with 4 of my friends and it was a very chill and relaxing time overall! The teacher accommodated to our level of skill and it was a very patient in giving us tips :)

Class was highly enjoyable and accessible for even us as beginner watercolour users. The space was clean and aesthetically-pleasing, and all materials were of high quality and provided for (food included!). The teacher was very flexible in allowing us to choose what we wanted to paint and gave us clear instructions on how to achieve what we wanted for our artworks. She was very supportive and knowledgeable, and I'd definitely recommend this class to anyone who enjoys painting or eating yummy desserts :)

It was an exciting day, Blair make us feel like a real artist. It’s a relaxing place and just so casual. We didn’t want to leave.

Fantastic step by step instructions. Blair was very organised and gives helpful tips to get the process off to a smooth start. She is highly creative and has lots of experience with watercolour techniques. I would love to do more classes with her.

Blair’s Class is excellent!
We had lots of fun decorating her studio into a fun afternoon party. Having dessert and painting them at the same time is very satisfying!
Blair is very fun to talk to and she is very helpful in teaching each steps of the painting. If there are some more watercolour theories and each step of the painting provided, that would be better!
Thank you Blair.:)

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2.5hrs being taught by Blair. She is lovely and very patient. I learned so much and I will probably be back again for another watercolour session.

I enjoyed this introductory class that Blair taught. She was very personable and welcoming and made the environment very relaxed. I thought it was particularly helpful how she had prepared all the materials for us and explained the purpose of each. I think it is always difficult when one teacher is teaching 10 students but she managed the class well

Maria Thomaidis • Nov 2018

Friendly teacher, food was great, maybe next time spend a little time on technique to give us a better understanding on how to get the best out of "Water colours" Overall great.

Dawn Ng • Nov 2018

Blair was a great teacher and explained various styles we could use. Tramshed was a great location with a good vibe and energy. Material provided were good and so were the desserts and drink. Would definitely sign up for more workshops with Blair! :)

A very cozy studio, Blair has accomodated our hens party with lovely desserts, and easy to understand demostration of water colour techniques. We BYO foods and drink, making a nice afternoon tea party!

Blair hosted my sisters hens day event of the Watercolour and Dessert Class and it was amazing! Everyone got to eat a delicious piece of cake and we all got to create a cute cake artwork piece to take home with us.
The studio was the perfect set up for our event too so bright and pretty and I was able to bring drinks which we sipped on while we painted.
Blair was so helpful with guiding us with our art pieces and made the event so much fun. All the girls had a blast!
The class was so much fun with Blair and the concept, would recommend for groups or even individuals who want to try something unique of eating and drawing dessert as a class event!

This workshop was very good, the food was amazing. We had a great experience and I can totally recommend this!

Teuntje Koomen • Aug 2018

This was a great class! Everything was well organised, and the food was delicious, served beautifully and in generous portions. We liked the fact that every booking had their own private table, yet the group was seated together. Blair was a very nice teacher who obviously thought well about the assignment she gave us. She made sure everyone learned new things but that it wasn't too challenging for total beginners. A very entertaining workshop, we learned a lot and went home with a nice result to keep.

The class was great for beginners like myself. There was enough time to draw and paint as well as enjoy the delicious food & cocktails at Madam Shanghai. Blair was always available for questions & painting tips.

Sienna • Aug 2018

Great workshop. Had so much fun and really yummy food.

Emma • Jun 2018

Blair was a very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable teacher. You can tell that she loves what she does. The class itself was fantastic - nice venue, yummy dessert provided and great materials provided for our watercolour lesson. She taught us the concepts and techniques in a way that was really easy to understand and apply ourselves, as complete beginners. Great value for money overall
