Highly recommended

Plenty to do and you get to walk away with a stack of resources, ideas and a piece of art. It was great! I got so engrossed in my work that i totally forgot about my cup of tea! Very mindful indeed, a few hours of productive but quiet time to just do something fun with no expectations.

We learned so much about the techniques and practical knowledge of using watercolour before working on an art piece, so I felt like I was well set up and had the tools to enjoy working on the painting. Tania was a great teacher and shared her passion with us all and was extremely helpful with her tips and expertise. She also had all of the equipment ready to go so we just had to turn up!
