  • 5/5 from Emily Carroll, attended May 2022: Hard to believe that it was possible to paint anything decent resembling a Van Gogh in 2 hrs…especially enjoying glass or 2 of red during it, but I did A lovely supportive teacher who was patient n fun. Atmosphere gr8 n social too. Only negative was that where we situated, though only few metres from teacher, was so hard to see what she sketching. Too faint to make out, plus other heads in the way. Luckily teacher walked around so we could see sketch up close for a moment. Otherwise, really happy n I have recommended to family n friends. We are booking a different painting very soon!
