Recent reviews of Paint and Tea Watercolour Workshop
- 5/5 from Paulina Kabaczuk, attended Jun 2026: My tiger was sooo good. still can't believe that I did it myself (well...with a bit of help ;))
- 5/5 from Tom Greenimg, attended Feb 2026: The Lunar/Chinese New Year watercolour painting was admittedly my partner's idea, but I was very happy to have booked and attended this! My first time using watercolour paints was a blast, combining our favourite teahouse, amazing tea and a fun, interesting painting session. Ildy was informative, gave constructive feedback with care, and provided efficient guidance to all attendees at the level of their competence (or incompetence in my case!) Materials were studio and professional grade, and Zensation Teahouse is a beautiful and very relaxing oasis of peace to do any kind of creative pursuit (or even just eat amazing dumplings and drink delicious teas). Would recommend to any and all, even if you barely know how to hold a brush!
- 5/5 from Vivian Lui, attended Jan 2026: Idly is an incredibly experienced and passionate teacher who creates such a welcoming space! I’ve taken both her Sunset and Koi classes, and each time she made me feel so open to trying new things. She encourages you to truly explore watercolor and feel free to express yourself without hesitation. If you want to find your artistic voice, Idly is the best teacher!
- 5/5 from Nicole Brown, attended Nov 2025: Ildy is a great teacher and I liked how she regularly checks on us to see if we need help with our artworks. I'm a beginner at watercolour and it was a really nice introductory course as well as to be able to take your painting home the same day. Thank you to Ildy and the team at Zensation Tea House for a wonderful class :)
- 5/5 from Bethany Hart, attended Nov 2025: Great teacher, great venue. This class was fun, relaxing and easy. Ildy was a good teacher, calm, clear and helpful. The tea was a really nice accompliment. Highly recommended.
- 5/5 from Michael Davies, attended Oct 2025: Great experience! I was a total beginner with watercolour painting, so I wasn't confident at all. But I was able to create a piece of artwork that I can be proud of! Ildy is an excellent teacher and walked us through everything simply and clearly. She has a lot of 3d art experience so she has a great understanding of lighting and colour, so she guided us on creating a work of art that looks really realistic. The atmosphere of the Zensation tea house was also lovely and inviting, and it was a nice experience to drink a few teas while we painted.
Your teacher
I grew up surrounded by making. My dad’s upholstery workshop was my first studio, where I’d spend hours painting, sewing with fabric scraps, and experimenting with whatever I could get my hands on. That early love of play and creativity has stayed with me ever since.Over the years, I’ve explored many different art forms, from painting and sewing to design and craft, and I’m still inspired by the magic of trying something new. Creativity has a way of teaching us to let go, trust the process, and find joy in the unexpected.That’s the experience I love to share in my workshops. Whether you’re picking up a brush, learning a new craft, or simply curious to explore your creative side, you don’t need any experience, just a willingness to play. I create a warm, welcoming, judgment-free space where you can relax, connect, and surprise yourself with what you’re able to make.One of my favourite things is seeing people light up when they realise they are creative, especially those who’ve always doubted themselves. That spark of confidence is why I do what I do.I bring a background in visual arts, animation, and teaching, but what matters most to me is creating meaningful, joyful experiences where you feel supported and inspired.If you’re feeling the pull to try something new or return to something you’ve always loved, I’d be honoured to have you in one of my workshops. Let’s make, laugh, and create something beautiful together.
