Em was amazing learnt great techniques on using water colours and brushes. Second time coming and still learning. Em made you feel like an artist in the making excellent class.

Peta Soorkia • Attended Jul 2026



Loved it. Em was great very patient. A lively atmosphere with the other participants. Would definitely recommend Wm and the watercolour workshop.

Angela Scott • Attended Jul 2026



Fantastic class for beginners or more exeperienced. I was a complete beginner and learnt so much. The class covered a lot but still allowed time for questions, practicing techniques and exploration. Em was lovely and approachable which made all the difference as a beginner!


Gill Hunt • Attended Feb 2026



A wonderful experience! I learnt a lot, enjoyed the painting immensely and had a very relaxed and stress free afternoon. I went home with a painting pack and hope to continue on my painting journey.

Kathy Smith • Attended Feb 2026



What a lovely and truely calm workshop. We so enjoyed our time with Em and all the new techniques we learnt. Em was really skilled at guiding us not only in the painting but also how to relax our nervous systems. Highly recommend this class to anyone. Will look for more of Em's classes for sure!

Sharmaine Smark • Attended Feb 2026



Em was amazing. She is so calming and offers a wonderful and informative experience. I have just started dabbling in watercolour and it was a great to explore different techniques through this class with Em, I feel more comfortable and confident in this medium.

Anthony Young • Attended Feb 2026



The session was really accessible, varied and inclusive. A great mix of short activities that provide challenge and great outcomes to take away.

Linda Whitehead • Attended Dec 2025



The 2 hours flew by so very quickly.. I loved every second of it.
Em’s teaching style is amazing, I came home with some water colour pieces that are actually ok and I thought I didn’t have any artistic skills.

Naomi Freeman • Attended Oct 2025



Lovely approach, good variety of techniques to try with nice art supplies and soft instruction, nice focus on how painting calms the mind. Very enjoyable for me, even as a complete art novice.

Pamela Nasiakos • Attended Oct 2025



Such a positive, calming experience.
Em was so thoughtful and welcoming in her approach.
She taught us various watercolour techniques- without overloading us and giving us space to make the art our own.
We will return.

This was Jennifer's fourth time doing this class

Lovely calming class, lovely paints and paintbrushes, plenty of fresh water. Perfect for beginners or artists who want to share a space while they create

This was the best art class I have ever attended
Beginning with a beautiful lavender tea creating a lovely calm and creative experience. Em is an amazing teacher and we each painted six items to take home. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Sharon Bolton • Attended Aug 2025



The class was very relaxing with lovely music. Em is a great teacher and I learnt a lot of watercolour techniques in the 2 hour class. I will definitely be attending again.

Karina Beutel • Attended Jul 2025



Beautiful set up, you can tell Em has put alot of thought, research and intention into setting up this experience. Time flew and by the end I was so calm

Julie Asher • Attended Jul 2025

This was Julie's second time doing this class



I have been to 3 of Em's classes. Each time I learn new techniques, am inspired by a different prompt and enjoy a calming atmosphere. I will be back!

Bec Long • Attended Jul 2025



Em's workshop was wonderful. The set-up (music, tea, great looking table) got us in the mood. Then Em warmly guided us through a few different creative exercises, each one supporting us to go deeper & further into a mindful flow state. She gave us tips & ideas for simple new artistic strategies, no matter what our skill level! This workshop was highly worthwhile, I highly recommend it.

Jennifer Farrell • Attended Jun 2025



Excellent teacher. Very relaxed encouraged me to want to come again

Leanne Quinn • Attended May 2025

A fun experience.. Emily was a lovely educator and artist, inspiring me for future workshops. A welcome gift from my son.
The Calming effect was apparent.. I thank Emily for her knowledge & encouragement to connect with my hidden Monet. Loved it. Susan Noble

Julie Asher • Attended May 2025



I participated in the Calm Watercolour class. We learned several watercolour techniques and created 5 works of art. Em is a fantastic teacher and her instruction is very clear and easy to follow. Her course structure allowed students to go at their own pace and concentrate on pieces they were more interested in. Her promotion of calm art extended to tea, lavender and peaceful music - it enable a very peaceful focus on creativity. The venue was sunny, surrounded by nature and had all required facilities with Em supplying abundant materials to experiment and create several pieces. I really liked the overall "vibe" the calm environment, Em's cheerful nature and the pieces I got to take home!

Leanne Morison • Attended Apr 2025



My second class with Em, this time I introduced a friend. I loved that this session was different yet equally calming. I learned some new techniques and was able to experiment. Em creates such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere and the venue is quiet and surrounded by nature.
When we left the class we felt like we had been in a meditative state for the two hours. Amazing!

Allison Marshall • Attended Mar 2025



Thank you Em! We loved water colour painting with you! Relaxing and calming environment. Myself and my daughter (8 years old) learning basic technics with a paint brush with water colours. So much fun! I have always felt I could never paint however today in the two hours I learnt quite a few ideas that I would like to continue at home! Thank you so much

Tania d'Amore • Attended Mar 2025



A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Em’s class was relaxing and calming and an opportunity to switch off from the outside world, go within and with her guidance create some really beautiful and meaningful watercolour art.
I loved this class!

Caroline Power • Attended Mar 2025



This workshop was amazing and exactly what I needed after a stressful few weeks. It was the perfect balance of instruction to get started and freedom to do my own thing. I definitely got in the zone and came away so relaxed and inspired. ‘Em is a great teacher.

Yvonne Nolan • Attended Mar 2025



Loved it, I ended up having a one on one session which was a bonus. Em was very welcoming and calming from when I entered the room and everything was set up so beautifully. I learnt so much in a short time and left feeling calm. Thanks again I will be back for another session soon.

Miriam Hagan • Attended Mar 2025



While not in-depth, it was a useful, fun and above all relaxing event with the very kind and beautiful Em. Definitely recommend.


Sharon Hunting • Attended Feb 2025



Em, was a great teacher and she gently led the participants through each part of the afternoon activities…
From the moment I walked into the room and saw the tables laid with the bright, colourful paint palettes, brushes, paper and a collection of leaves and flowers I knew it would be a calming space to explore creatively…
I spent a lovely couple of stress free hours complete with a lavender tea and gentle background music…
And I would certainly recommend Em’s class to anyone…


Vanessa Gray • Attended Feb 2025



Had a wonderful session, experimenting with some drawing and watercolour painting. Easy to follow instructions and demonstrations from Em. I enjoyed being prompted to check in with my body and notice the shift in energy. I liked the variety of activities. Time flew by.

Jane Gale • Attended Feb 2025



I appreciated the gentle and relaxing start and structure to the workshop. I felt immediately comfortable to explore the drawing activity and colours of the palette.
*Em’s tone of voice, the music and tea were all very nurturing.
I enjoyed the mindfulness jar and wished I had started by drawing my jar bigger. The affirmation part could definitely be on the back -maybe with one word on the front. Even though there is no right or wrong… I feel like I didn’t know about the expected space to be used. (self-critical)
The lavender and leaf drawing and tips was very satisfying-book marks a great /lovely keepsake!
The intuitive painting with music was an intriguing experience and loved the idea that the size of the card could be folded into a greeting card. I would also enjoy a bigger piece of paper to use bigger sweeps of the brush (a different activity perhaps)
I really enjoyed the whole workshop as a way to create calm and explore creativity… pick up useful tools for combatting anxiety in the future.
I would definitely attend another workshop soon. Thankyou Em.)
