Dani was such a friendly and helpful teacher, she showed us various techniques and provided all the materials needed during the class and for the aftercare. I highly recommend this class to anyone that’s been wanting to try textured paintings.

Had a fantastic textured art class yesterday! The teacher, Dani, was amazing. Super patient and thorough, taking the time to answer every question. Plus, all the materials were provided and the venue was easy to find. Great value for money – I learned so much and had a blast exploring a new artistic skill!

I booked Dani’s class for my wife’s birthday as she always wants to do texture art. It’s definitely the right decision as we had so much fun doing a set together and learnt different techniques from Dani. Dani is really good at teaching and comfortable to work with.
Will recommend to friends for sure! :)

Teacher's response

Thank you so much for the lovely review! It was such a fun session with you both.

We had a wonderful time with Dani. She is very dedicated to what she is doing and is really enthusiastic about art, especially texture art! Not to mention her amazing personality!
After giving us all a nice introduction and a very clear instructions, she was always there for us during the class, helping. Even when I had difficulties with the arches, she recommended different solutions to make me feel more confident!
The ‘goodie bag’ with after care instructions and tools is a very nice touch, and a big help on our own art journey!
Thank you for opening your home, Dani, and guarding us to explore this new experience!

What a lovely therapeutic session with Dani! A beautiful end to my birthday celebrations. She was great, taught us all the necessary skills and tips to finish off our artwork. Thankyou so much. I can strongly take this one off my list.

Dani was awesome teacher. Love it every minute of it. She went thru all the steps clearly and so easy to follow thru. She shared all the materials that we used and gave us time to experiment in our own way. Thanks Dani for this experience!

Dani held a great textured art workshop in her home! Dani was very welcoming and her home is beautiful, inviting and had a lovely aroma (from scented candles I think). It was so nice for Dani to open up her home to students who want to learn textured art. A small class size meant that Dani could help us students more and see our progress and offer feedback where necessary. Dani gave a great introduction to us about her passion for art and her journey to hosting workshops. Dani gave clear instructions about the materials and steps to making textured art. We were all beginners so no technique or artwork was "wrong" but instead different styles and interpretations were encouraged and praised. I was nervous about how "well" my artwork was going to turn out but Dani was encouraging and gave positive feedback and the other students were supportive and we learnt a lot from each other as we sampled with differed techniques. Dani showed us a few of her completed artworks and wow, she is so talented! Taking home 2 completed artworks was great and Dani gave each student a gift bag to also take home which included aftercare information and a small jar of paint and a paintbrush to complete our artworks 24 hours later at home. The price of the workshop is definitely worth it for the time and materials Dani has worked so hard to put together for her students. Clear instructions about what to bring and how to transport your wet artwork home are given at the time of booking her workshop. As I had taken public transport to her home, I had planned ahead to take an Uber back home with my wet artworks. Dani was kind enough to give me some newspaper to lay down in the back of the Uber so the artworks would not make a mess in the boot and would lie down easily. Thanks again Dani for a great workshop!

Dani was a great teacher, encouraging patient and attentive. The class was held in a light filled room of Dani’s beautiful home, with all art supplies provided - bring an apron along and you are set to play. Dani first demonstrates the techniques and use of all tools which gave us confidence to jump right in and experiment with textured art. You take home two pieces of your own creation, they take 24 hours to dry - so if you are catching public transport, best to be picked up so you can lay them flat in the car on the trip home. A great group memory maker to celebrate any significant event, I can see this everyone creating a piece for a baby’s arrival (all pieces are white).

Dani is an amazing teacher, she taught us several different textured painting techniques and was extremely patient and accommodating. All the materials provided were great quality. Dani made the whole experience fun and effortless. I would highly recommend attending one of her classes.

Dani was extremely welcoming and put in much more effort in organizing this amazing textured painting workshop for a big adult group despite lots of obstacles! My friends love the activity and great environment. Dani definitely delivered a great workshop to us- beginner and we had so much fun during the workshop. She went extra miles to help me on surprising my friend’s birthday, pleasure to meet you, Dani! She also ensured us aware of what to do after the class, very thoughtful of her!

I was looking for a Textured Art class to do, seen that Dani did Class's so I booked Myself and my sister in to do one. Dani had everything ready to go, Instructions and few items to take home to get you started also. Setting was very organized, tidy and clean.
I did the Beach / Sand Theme Dani was very helpful in getting me the right technique. Showed us all the different design's you can do, and we Mastered the Arch's lol. So If you're wanting to try something new & fun give this as try. Bunning's is now my New Favorite Store. Thanks again Dani for a great afternoon.

This was a fun class, Dani taught me how to mix and create the right consistency of the paste. it was a mesmerizing experience creating different shapes and textures on the canvas using different tools. Dani's passion really comes through her teaching. She creates a beautiful space to learn. I learnt a lot about this art form.
