- 5/5 from Ant Manjali, attended Jul 2026: Amazing class, really good techniques. Amazing teaching, great class, highly recommend and good timings. Thank you
- 5/5 from Jane Knowles, attended Jun 2026: Tamara was diligent, kind, patient and encouraging and certainly a good teacher. My granddaughter and I learned many useful techniques to set us on our creative art journey
- 5/5 from Maree Coldrey, attended Apr 2026: Great teacher who was very attentive to all students. We had a great day drawing outside. I learnt so much:)
- 5/5 from Robin Wilson, attended Mar 2026: Really great class, learned a lot and enjoyed the use of the farm to gain some inspiration. We took our 13 yr old son with us as well, nice family day out. Well worth the trip from Bayside, the surrounding community farm adds to the experience.
- 4/5 from Emma Cole, attended Mar 2026: No gift card It was a fun relaxing class, I think as someone who has had a bit more experience than others The instructions given were suitable to beginners or children You could tell she's a great teacher for this There was a lot of time spent talking at the start Time on hatching and stipling I think it would have been better if we could have picked what we wanted to draw especially for those with a bit more experience. I also wasn't aware I could have brought my own material Good class overall
- 5/5 from Nicole van Bergen, attended Feb 2026: Great class to learn some foundations!
- 5/5 from Deborah Copeland, attended Feb 2026: This was a great class. I haven't done much drawing in about 20 years and this was a great way to get back into it.
- 5/5 from Nataile Richardson, attended Jan 2026: Tamara was excellent! Very informative and I definitely surprised myself! Thanks so very much!
- 5/5 from Mellisa Chen, attended Apr 2025: Our family have attended two classes now and Tamara with her years of experience was a warm and welcoming teacher as always! None of us had any drawing experience when we started and through her expertise and support we’ve surprised ourselves with the quality of work we could create even after just our first lesson.
- 5/5 from Ashleigh Roberts-Finlay, attended Apr 2025: We did the wildlife and botanical drawing class. Tamara was an awesome teacher! The class was so well laid out to teach us everything we needed before we started our big project, and Tamara did an amazing job helping us all get something we were really proud of. I'll definitely come back for another class
- 5/5 from Frankie Jayne, attended Apr 2025: The best teacher.
- 5/5 from Jacqui Collins, attended Oct 2023: Excellent teachet Venue great Learnt a lot Materials supplied great Encouraging Need to practice at home now
