Had my first Cyanotype experience here with my friend, and it's been an inspring class! The teacher Lisa is very knowledgable and friendly, while the class is very well organised with a good selection of dried plants, cut-outs and prints to play around with. Overall a fun-filled activity with good company. Thank you very much, Lisa!

My daughter bought me this for Xmas and it was an amazing class. Everything was ready and well prepared. We learned how to do cyanotype on both fabric and paper and were thrilled with how these art pieces turned out. Loved the bonding time and class size was perfect.

Probably one of my favourite days if I look back on 2024. Lisa is very knowledgeable, she also provided so much dried plants, prints and tools for us to experiment with. Overall the workshop was really relaxing and rewarding. We enjoyed it so much. Thanks Lisa!

I only knew about cyanotype from seeing Lisa’s art. I love her style of floral art. The workshop was a lovely way to learn about how cyanotype work is made. Everything was supplied, including a great selection of flowers and patterned material to use in our own compositions. We made 4 lovely pieces to keep. Lisa was very generous with her knowledge and the class was friendly and relaxed. Great venue.

Lisa was lovely, warm and engaging. She’s passionate about the subject and an excellent teacher. She was very kind, helpful, thoughtful and even treated us to a yummy home baked cake and other goodies!
I loved the venue which was a bright and welcoming space. We got a great folder with all the relevant information for us to take home. Value for money workshop which I’d highly recommend for anyone who’d like to learn about cyanotype printing. It was lovely to take home 4 pieces of our handiwork.
The workshop piqued my interest in learning more and to experiment with this printing method.

We had fun with learning cyanotype printing. I really enjoyed the experience of just testing out things on paper/fabric and just loved the process. Lisa was a great teacher and can see her passion for cyanotypes. I really liked how the venue was set up as it's a nice cottage <3

Lisa was fantastic. Generous with her knowledge and really took care to make sure we had time to learn a few techniques. She was very warm and friendly and did a great job making the whole group feel comfortable.
The course is perfect for beginners and you leave with some beautiful prints that make you feel like a true artist.
The venue was beautiful and very comfortable.
We will definitely be trying to replicate this on our own.

Presentation couldn't have been more thoughtful as well as beautiful. The table was set with a work station for everyone, plus wonderful notes.There was a great morning tea as a warm-up and get to know each other, followed by a visual slideshow. Then Lisa would show what we would do every step of the way and we would follow on. Everyone made artwork to take home, their own styles. Everyone was encouraged to try different techniques. Lisa is a great teacher, warm-hearted, generous and kind. She runs a great cyanotype workshop and I highly recommend anyone to her.

An 5 star day and a 5 star workshop. Lisa prepared everything with a great deal of thought and attention. She was warm and friendly, and generous with her knowledge and supplies. (And yummy things to have with a cuppa!). We were all thrilled with what we made and took home.
Terese Grove • Jun 2020
What a great course. Lisa is so lovely. Such an easy process to learn. Lisa had all the materials ready and she supplied a delicious morning tea. I would recommend this course. Small number in the class which was great and gave us all time to do the fun stuff.
