- 5/5 from Marie Bastoli, attended Sep 2025: What an incredible class! I was impressed by the beautiful watercolor examples from other participants, and I never imagined I'd be able to create something even close, especially with no prior artistic experience. Ildy guided us through a clear, step-by-step process, ensuring we understood each part of the technique. She not only demonstrated the process but also provided personalized feedback, helping us refine our work along the way. It was such a fun experience, and I was truly amazed by the final result!

- 5/5 from Murray Debus, attended Sep 2025: Ildy was a thorough delight to learn from! She provided first class materials, was excellently prepared with taped up paper on boards, and was patient and supportive in her demonstrations. Her communication was always very clear. I highly recommend her watercolour workshop to both beginners and those with experience in this tricky medium. Murray Debus Animation professional
- 5/5 from T Naval, attended Sep 2025: It was so much fun! Ildy was great at explaining what we needed to do and simplified every step to make it make sense. I really enjoyed the class and am really happy with my painting.
- 5/5 from Shwu Jiun Wee, attended Sep 2025: She is such a fantastic and approachable teacher. In a class with students of varying skill levels, from advanced watercolourists to beginners like myself, she managed to provide individualised feedback to each student, keeping us all engaged and entertained. I never felt left behind. She offered plenty of guidance, along with helpful tips, tricks, and techniques. By the end of the class, I was amazed at what I had painted in such a short time. The entire group had so much fun, and I’ll definitely be back for more classes with Ildy!"
- 5/5 from John Murrell, attended Sep 2025: The equipment and paper prepared for class was excellent...I learnt a lot just from seeing how Ildy set it up. Excellent for getting past the first-time nerves! The lesson was well chosen. All skill levels will produce something nice, and there was room to experiment. No reasons to be anxious, all will be supplied and explained. Highly recommended, hope to do more!

Your teacher
I grew up surrounded by making. My dad’s upholstery workshop was my first studio, where I’d spend hours painting, sewing with fabric scraps, and experimenting with whatever I could get my hands on. That early love of play and creativity has stayed with me ever since.Over the years, I’ve explored many different art forms, from painting and sewing to design and craft, and I’m still inspired by the magic of trying something new. Creativity has a way of teaching us to let go, trust the process, and find joy in the unexpected.That’s the experience I love to share in my workshops. Whether you’re picking up a brush, learning a new craft, or simply curious to explore your creative side, you don’t need any experience, just a willingness to play. I create a warm, welcoming, judgment-free space where you can relax, connect, and surprise yourself with what you’re able to make.One of my favourite things is seeing people light up when they realise they are creative, especially those who’ve always doubted themselves. That spark of confidence is why I do what I do.I bring a background in visual arts, animation, and teaching, but what matters most to me is creating meaningful, joyful experiences where you feel supported and inspired.If you’re feeling the pull to try something new or return to something you’ve always loved, I’d be honoured to have you in one of my workshops. Let’s make, laugh, and create something beautiful together.
