Recent reviews of Finger Painting Class for Adults

  • 5/5 from Erica Lim, attended Sep 2023: Highly recommend this class! Mick facilitated a finger painting class for our group of eight and we had a fantastic time! The paint and food tables were set up and ready when we arrived, class format was laid back and Mick was an great teacher- allowing us time to paint, eat, drink, chat and take photos.
  • 5/5 from Tracey McCallum, attended Feb 2023: Mick made our hens party very enjoyable! Great tunes, drinks and snacks combined with a variety of painting like we’d never done before. Loved the way the event was finished with our final artworks. It was great to see the creativity in the group. Highly recommend finger painting with Mick!
  • 5/5 from Lucy Ryrie, attended Oct 2022: Mick was a great finger painting teacher, with an excellent class music playlist. The team had an absolute ball!
  • 5/5 from Amanda Axiak, attended Jun 2022: Mick was a fantastic instructor who put us all at ease and made sure we got the most out of our time. Would recommend to absolutely anyone!
  • 5/5 from Eryn Davies, attended Mar 2022: Mick is fantastic. He really engaged our group of 11 well. We had a Hen's Day and Mick provided lovely snacks and great drinks, with music in the background, it was a great atmosphere and everyone had fun. The location at Ainslie Arts Centre was excellent, plenty of room and easy to find. This was a great activity and would also really suit any company/team event, group of friends etc. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Claudia Walmsley, attended Feb 2021: Mick was great at helping us loosen up & let go of our awkwardness. Also very inspiring & encouraging. The fabulous spotify playlist also really helped. I really enjoyed exploring an artistic side I was forced to abandon in year 11 (over 30 years ago) due to a clash between Economics and Art. Although I am sure my parents were right, i'd never be an artist, it was no doubt clear i'd never be an economist either. I loved this experience & will definitely recommend to others.
  • 5/5 from Cathy Zanella, attended Jan 2021: I purchased as Xmas gift for husband. He loved it! Mick (teacher) was very encouraging. Hubby is colour blind and doesn’t do much in the way of creative art. He found it relaxing and lots of fun, using the paints and his hands as the tools. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Simone Ancilleri, attended Jan 2021: The class was a lot of fun. The venue, teacher and materials provided were all excellent. Looking forward to doing another of Mick's workshops in the future.
  • 5/5 from Lee Nelson, attended Jan 2021: A fun and interactive learning experience, and I even managed to produce art in the process.
  • 5/5 from Mary-Lou Roden, attended Dec 2020: I had a great time, used both sides of my brain and both hands, Mick was a great teacher and I was very happy with my final canvas painting.
  • 5/5 from Chiara Edwards, attended Dec 2020: It was a super fun night! Mick ran the workshop in a way that was somehow both relaxed and structured. The food and wine were great too.
  • 5/5 from Jessamy Sams, attended Oct 2020: Excellent venue, expert teaching, A+ snacks. Well structured and well paced little lessons made it easy to follow, but there was still plenty of room for creativity!
  • 5/5 from Emily Mackay, attended Oct 2020: Had such a fun time and Mick had a great approach to helping us not take ourselves too seriously. Mused much on the colour purple
  • 5/5 from Fran 'sofrank', attended Oct 2020: Finger painting with Mick Ashley was a lot of fun - Mick challenged us to play with colour (or lack of), use both sides of our brain and taught techniques to improve our finished pieces. Leave your painting inhibitions at the door; Mick will encourage you to create.
