• 5/5 from Lena Xiao, attended Feb 2024: It's a great course for someone who's either an absolute beginner in drawing or lacking confidence. Helena gave a few very helpful tips. It was also nice to have an environment that is relaxing and encouraging to focus on sketching, almost like a meditation. It's a pleasant surprise for me at the end of the night feeling "huh, I can draw something not too bad after all!"

• 5/5 from Callie Harvey, attended Jan 2023: The teacher was great. I think that it will be useful to have a longer time to complete one piece and receive advice from the teacher.

• 5/5 from Dani Robertson, attended Jan 2023: Emilie is so warm and passionate about drawing and making it accessible to all. This class was judgement free and great encouragement to enjoy the artform rather than the output. My only suggestion would be to include an acknowledgement of country at the beginning given the class is being held on land that was never ceded and the long history our first nations people have of visual storytelling.
• 5/5 from Rosy Moore, attended Oct 2022: A great experience, teacher was helpful and attentive and kept the class on track to try many different exercises. A lot of fun too, and great to do if you're an absolute beginner

• 5/5 from Narda Shanley, attended Jun 2022: This was a great class with teacher Emilie. She was very encouraging and made everyone feel like they could experiment and play, and reconnect with the art of drawing - even if we weren't very good yet!
• 5/5 from Abigail Dent, attended Jun 2022: Our teacher was fabulous, she hit just the right balance between friendly/encouragement and keeping the class pace moving! I liked that we had lots of drawing opportunities and learnt about proportion, ways to loosen up, draw more, and accept that any drawing involves distortion and editing. My first drawing class in 35 years and won’t be my last!
• 5/5 from Richard Tranter, attended May 2021: I had an amazing time, I would recommend this to everyone. I sent a picture of what I had drawn to a friend and asked them what is was, they answered "nice apple you have drawn", it made my night. Thanks Helena for your help.
• 5/5 from Sheila Millar, attended May 2021: Lovely teacher that taught at a good, easy pace. Instructions were simple and easy to follow, and I found the instructions easy to follow. Venue was a nice space. Good length overall too, and didn’t throw too much at you. Perhaps some suggestions on exercises to practice at home would be a good idea.

The teacher was friendly, welcoming and attentive to each student. I felt no shame in being a novice. Venue was a cool space. Walked away with some nice mementos. Would do again.
