• 5/5 from James Kennedy, attended May 2026: This was an absolute blast - the hours just flew by. The evening was well led and the instructor very friendly and helpful. We’re certainly no Picasso but we left with pet portraits we’ll be proud to hang up in our home. Excellent value for money and a great time all round.
• 5/5 from Dipti Cheerath, attended May 2026: I had such a lovely experience at Stanley Avenue Art Studio during their Paint & Sip session! We were meant to do “Paint Your Pet, ” but since I don’t have a pet (and I’m a complete beginner at painting), I asked if I could paint Bluey for my daughter instead. He was incredibly patient, encouraging, and helpful throughout the session. He gave me great tips and techniques, helped build my confidence, and made the whole experience feel really relaxed and enjoyable — even as someone with zero painting experience. I was honestly surprised by what I was able to create by the end of the class! You can tell he genuinely enjoys teaching and helping people learn. I’d definitely come back again and highly recommend it to beginners or anyone looking for a fun, creative experience.

• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2025: My friend and I did the nursery themed class (Hart was happy to accommodate us at the same time as a pet class) and had a wonderful time! It was so fun and relaxing. I have zero painting experience and it turned out much better than I could have imagined! Can't wait to hang it in my baby's room.
• 5/5 from Katelyn Spencer, attended Sep 2025: I booked a private session with family the past weekend. Hart was a great teacher, explaining everything really well and helping us in anyway he could.

• 4/5 from Sherman Ting, attended Sep 2025: Was an enjoyable evening painting my cat but the 2.5 hours really flies. Hart was very helpful in guiding with the shapes and colours.

• 5/5 from Lesley Shipston, attended Oct 2024: We had a great night with Hart who was extremely friendly and welcoming. Great music accompanied by an encouraging and talented teacher who led us through the night at just the right pace. We painted out pets with enthusiasm and welcomed Harts feedback and help to complete our artwork in the timeframe. Highly recommend. We will be back!
• 5/5 from Kate Warren, attended Oct 2024: HIGHLY recommend! My sister and I love our pets so treated ourselves to the “paint your pet portrait” class. Hart is a great teacher. He made everyone feel comfortable and made the process very light and playful. The 2.5 hours flew by and we forgot to eat what we brought with us! Surprisingly, the hardest part was choosing which photo of our pets to base our paintings off! Hart provided tips on how to pick a picture and walked us through each step to create our portraits. It’s great value for money and I’ll definitely be returning to paint my other pets
• 5/5 from Ellie Oliver, attended Oct 2024: Hart was an incredible teacher! He gave great pointers and guidance, he was super patient and just had great energy the whole session! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to all my friends
• 5/5 from Robyn Rea, attended May 2024: We had such a great time for our Team Building Activity! The 14 of us enjoyed the afternoon, some of us painted our own pets, or random animals - or just went freestyle! The venue was warm & welcoming, our teacher was amazing & encouraging & the atmosphere with the music in the background was so enjoyable. A few of us liked it so much we have plans to come again in our own time.
• 5/5 from Stephanie Kanen, attended Apr 2024: Hart was a fantastic instructor and the Pet paint and sip was such a fun night! All materials we needed were supplied, it was such an easy date night and Hart can make an artist of anyone!
• 5/5 from Sally, attended Feb 2024: We booked a private class for 8 people to celebrate my birthday and it was such a fun activity! Hart was so kind and helpful and everyone was pleasantly surprised at how good our finished pet portraits turned out. We got to play our own music on the speaker and bring snacks, drinks etc, although everyone was so focused on their painting that we actually didn't end up eating or drinking very much! Would highly recommend and it was an added bonus that the class was very reasonably priced. Thank you Hart!
