Hands down the best creative workshop I've ever attended. Ellie was a wonderful teacher and was so helpful with all of my questions about the oil painting process. She was very patient and encouraging, and she explained every step perfectly. It was great to be able to learn with high quality materials + more

Excellent. I loved it! Learned so much in a short time - excellent materials and techniques. Really enjoyed myself and got a lot out of it.

I thought the teacher done her best in a short period of time that we had, she explained everything in a easy & understandable way. I am a beginner & I think I picked up a lot of little tricks. Everything was supplied so all I had to do is turn up. I’m glad I done the class & would recommend anyone + more

It was a solid couple of hours. The first key takeaway for me was filling in gaps for about pigments, opacity and drying times. Ellie showed me her approach to solvent-free oil painting which I think I will adopt. The second area was in challenging me on a different approach to portrait painting with + more

I have been wanting to do this class for a long time and was so happy with the outcome. Sue is a great teacher and I was thrilled with the end result. Actually I couldn’t believe what I achieved in such a short time.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our lampshade making workshop with Sue from Bowerbird. She was very kind and helpful and our lampshades look professionally made. They are actually perfect. We worked with a friendly group of ladies in a beautiful sunny room, just a lovely experience all-round.

Great class. Clear concise instructions within the class and very helpful. Really enjoyed the process used to make the lampshade. Only criticism would be the fabric choices and not being given the option to look at a solid colour.

This has been the most enjoyable experience in a gorgeous environment. But make no mistake, it is not a social sip & paint type of class. This is challenging and educational and I have learnt so much about oil technique that makes it so unique. But the end result is so worth the challenge. Ellie is so + more
