• 4/5 from Bev Yardley, attended Feb 2025: Tania was a great teacher. I liked that she emphasised "having a go" rather than being serious about finishing with a perfect piece. The practice pieces were a good introduction to some of the techniques. I would like to have had more demonstrations on using the techniques to give shape to the plants/leaves for our final piece. Thank you.
• 4/5 from Vi Saffer, attended Feb 2025: Great class. Three hours just didn’t seem long enough - but Tania managed to cram so much in. Well done!!!
• 5/5 from Margaret Duggan, attended Nov 2024: Fabulous teacher Such an entertaining day and everyone had such amazing results to take home. Thanks Tania!!!!
• 5/5 from Kathryn Preston, attended Oct 2024: Tania was a great teacher, class structure was easy to follow and gave heaps we could continue on with at home. All materials were provided and we had the opportunity to find out what we liked to then purchase (inc where to purchase and expected costs). We used artists ink to create a base for a ink drawing with pen. But before we started the drawing we did exercises to explore using the materials and what felt good. We left the workshop inspired to continue our art practice at home with our new skills.

• 5/5 from Maureen Faas, attended Feb 2024: I booked an extra session to work on two pieces done in a previous watercolour workshop and the Metallic workshop on the Saturday 3rd Feb. Tania was very generous with her time and expertise while the other participants were doing their exercises and came back regularly to check if I needed any additional assistance. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and see their templates at the end and to see the changes on my work. It's always a pleasure to do Tania's workshop; everything is so organised! Thank you
• 5/5 from Bronwyn, attended Nov 2023: Tania was a brilliant instructor, who guided a large, mostly inexperienced group through achievable and fun watercolour techniques, with a balance of humor and professionalism. The equipment provided was perfect for the day, allowing a choice between paints or pencils, and with plenty of work sheets and guides for everyone. Many of the class members started off with “I can’t do this, I’m not creative” to all creating a beautiful artwork piece, so thank you, Tania!
• 5/5 from Linda, attended Nov 2023: What a fantastic session we had with Tania. She took us step by step to help us create a lovely water coloured card for the bride and groom. A warm and talented teacher who gave us great confidence. Would love to do more :)
• 5/5 from Michaela Watson, attended Nov 2023: Tania was fantastic to work with to organise a bridal shower for my sister-in-law. We were able to meet at the venue before I had to confirm our booking; this was really helpful as it set the scene for planning the rest of the party. Tania had brilliant ideas and really got on board with the idea of the hen's party and how to make it special and unique. Our event had two lessons then we used what we had learned to each create a piece of art to gift to the bride and groom. You should have seen the stunning work we all did, even as total novices! She is the utmost professional as well as being good fun and an all-round gem of a human being. I can highly recommend her classes.

• 5/5 from Clare Bennett, attended Jul 2023: A great teacher with lots of guidance on different skills and tips for developing my own style.

• 5/5 from Andrew Leitch, attended Nov 2022: A fascinating course that developed my skills from scratch. Having built them in the first half, they were then put to use creating two pictures with a combination of washes and inks. Parking is great, which is often particularly hard to get in that location.
• 5/5 from Julie Crozier, attended Aug 2022: Supportive teacher who welcomed us to the class. Although I had little experience and am not artistic I still enjoyed the process. Thanks for a lovely morning.

Thoroughly enjoyed the class, techniques were taught, all equipment was supplied and some worksheets and calligraphy pen were part of the take home kit. I would attend more of Tania’s classes and recommend this class. Jayne
