Jane Cann Mar 2024


Pam provided an excellent informative workshop. As there were only two attendees, there was plenty of time for questions. The content was at beginner level and Pam explained many techniques, plus an invaluable introduction to paper, paints and pencils, based on her wealth of experience.

If you are curious about watercolour painting, this is the perfect workshop.

Thanks Pam.

Debbie Draper Mar 2024


Loved the class. It was great to start from the absolute beginning with tips on materials and trying out different techniques.

Catherine Smith Mar 2024


I enjoyed Pamela’s teaching style. I have learnt a lot today and will practice

Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners review by Catherine Smith

Susan Schroeder Mar 2024


The workshop is well-organised and presented with ease. The teacher is very experienced in her craft and in teaching. I will be practising watercolour painting from now on. Thank you!

Steph Phua Feb 2024


Pamela's watercolour class was such a great intro to watercolour. She was great at breaking down all the steps for learning this new style of painting, checking in with the class at each step to ensure we were on the right track. Highly recommended this class for anyone wanting to dip their brushes into watercolour painting!

Teacher's response

Thanks Steph, so glad you were able to make the class and enjoyed it!

Wes Jones Feb 2024


I came to this class with very little experience or knowledge in the art of watercolour painting and feel I have come away with so much more of an appreciation for not just the art but the techniques and materials involved as well. Pamela is a highly experienced artist and a gifted teacher and communicator. Thoroughly recommended.

Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners review by Wes Jones

Teacher's response

Thanks Wes! So glad you enjoyed the class. Hope you keep painting. I thought your paintings were great. You really took to watercolour.

Robyn Moss Feb 2024


Was good to experience water colour techniques. So much information, it was a lot to digest. Was quite fast paced. Will definitely be going back to review the recorded session.

Cindy Townsend Jan 2024


In 2 and a bit hours we managed to learn and practise a whole bunch of watercolour techniques - learning the technical terms, watching a master and then doing it ourselves. It was great learning about the differences between different watercolour papers and the effects it can have, as well as talking about the pigment in different paints. A great lesson for beginners but also for those who have done a fair bit of independent dabbling (like I have). Thank you!

Debra Lawson Jan 2024


This class was so enjoyable. I was worried that I would be terrible at painting watercolors but our teacher was so helpful and encouraging

Elizabeth Flett Jan 2024


Pamela is a fantastic teacher. She is talented , supportive and delivers a great learning experience. The venue was idyllic and the delicious afternoon tea was a bonus. I highly recommend this class.

Noel Hung Oct 2023


I can tell the teacher is informative and a great artist. It would be great if she could slow down a bit - she told us she needed to be quick because the color dried quickly. Make sense but just i cannot follow sometimes

What a great class. Pam was very informative and clear, very personable. The kits she sent out were amazing! The techniques were clear and fun to try and the peony we all painted at the end was so beautiful! Would highly recommend and I will be signing up for more classes.

This was a wonderful morning watercolour class. I learned lots of information regarding materials and each technique was broken down step by step helping each of us to produce a bunch of watercolour florals.
I definitely require more practice and look forward to doing more classes with Pamela Woods. Thanks for a lovely class.

Rebecca Yee May 2023


It was excellent! Ran very well. Even though I have almost no creative streak, Pamela kept things simple and I managed to produce something that looked good. She even provided cake and tea. All of the people I went with (because it was for a hens) thoroughly enjoyed it.

Marissa Andrew Apr 2023


She was excellent in teaching and explaining the step by step process of making a terrarium

Michele Driscoll Feb 2023


After giving us a comprehensive introduction to the tools used in water colour painting, Pamela expertly demonstrated simple brush strokes to produce a variety of different shaped leaves and petals. Trying out brush strokes, sitting on Pamela's verandah was peaceful and relaxing and a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It was good to be able to explore different paints, brushes and papers to work with. Pamela's workshop was full of generous instruction, materials and a sumptuous afternoon tea. It would be difficult to say what I enjoyed the most - All of it!

Dominique Pankhurst Feb 2023


The class was relaxed and enjoyable. The information provided was helpful and instructions were clear. There was plenty of time to practice and get constructive feedback from Pam. Would recommend this course to anyone!

Heidi Langshaw Jan 2023


I really enjoyed the simplicity of the class & Pam’s teaching. We were shown the basics then how to put it together. She was approachable & quick to show us where we were going wrong & how to fix it. Usually by adding more water & thinking less

Gail Borwick Jan 2023


Very enjoyable. Lovely venue. Plenty of equipment provided plus a substantial afternoon tea. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Glenda Pryor Jan 2023


Pam was very clear and also encouraging. She covered a lot of skills in a step by step way that built during the afternoon. I feel I have lots of skills I can practice and take forward. Lovely garden location and amazing afternoon tea. Great materials. Really enjoyable time. Thank you Pam

Gina Villar Jan 2023


Thoroughly enjoyed this beginners class in watercolour. Pamela was terrific - warm, welcoming, excellent at explaining the techniques & making watercolours fun & accessible for beginners. There were plenty of materials, plenty of opportunities for experimenting & learning & plenty of opportunities for guidance. The location was perfect - on a deck overlooking the garden, with plenty of space & natural light. Icing on the cake was a delicious spread for afternoon including home-made scones, home-made blackberry/blueberry jam. Too good. Thanks for a terrific workshop, Pamela, much appreciated.

Veronica Nov 2022


This class was lots of fun and was a great team activity. Everyone really enjoyed putting their own unique touches on each of their baubles. There was a wide range of craft supplies available for us to use, and Pamela was very helpful in teaching us decorating techniques. It was great to see everyone's festive creations at the end!

This class was so much fun! Pamela showed us a few easy techniques like decoupage and wrapping string - and then we all went off on our own and decorated baubles with our own unique design. It felt like time flew by so fast and by the end, had amazing decorations to hang on the tree! Would definitely recommend :)

This was such a fun class and the different techniques Pamela showed were really helpful! It's a great way to make baubles unique and have more character than the standard ones right of the box. She provided an amazing collection of decorations and supplies we could choose from which gave the creative freedom was looking for! It was nice to see everyone's take on their own bauble and putting them all together to see how great they look!

I organised Pamela's Christmas Bauble Making class as a team activity and we all had the BEST time. Pamela was so organised, and came with a huge selection of materials that allowed everyone to create something that was truly unique to them and display their own artistic flair. Pamela was super helpful with all of her instructions and created a super fun, happy and encouraging environment. Would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to get into the festive spirit! Thanks Pamela

Another terrific class by the multi talented Pamela Woods of Classbunny. I've previously enjoyed her inspiring Watercolours for Absolute Beginners as well as her scrumptious Make Scones and Jam in an Hour. As ever, a total joy! Whatever the activity, Pamela has all the practical tips and advice to make you feel as though you've been doing it for years. Looking forward to the next one!

The teacher, Pamela is a very experienced, she was attentive to any questions I or others asked. This really helped me be confident with the heaps of skills we learnt during her class. She was very encouraging. Also alot of fun. She introduced a lot of information for me as the beginner. The venue; A private garden in the beautiful Blue Mountains in Spring!The materials provided were generous and value for money.I thought this class was great value for money. I came home packed with lots of information, there was an energy filled with experience and fun, very creative and I would do another class with Pamela. Very please with what I learnt. A fun way to learn and enjoy/explore your creative side. The homemade afternoon tea was the icing on the cake. 10 out of 10 for me.

Great class! Pamela was an excellent teacher. I went with a friend who is quite an artist whereas I'm a bit more timid. She was very inclusive and addressed students at all levels of proficiency with really insightful help. My friend and I were really impressed. Will definitely be attending further classes.

What an amazing class! Pamela certainly knows her subject and gave us a mass of useful tips and advice on everything from techniques to materials. Her own tiny paintings seem effortlessly beautiful but she showed us all how to confidently find something magical in our own work. Inspirational!

Pamela was very patient and explained everything in great detail. Most of the practice pieces went well except my final attempt at a peony was a disaster.

The kit received was great and included the majority of what was needed, the rest was easy to find at home.
Note to Bento, it would be great if the link in the initial email sent for the booking would have linked to the class, I was a bit late to the session as I didnt realise it would not work and had to find the right email. Suggest maybe also allowing a Add to Google calendar option as other training sessions have.
Thankyou

An enjoyable and relaxing class! Pamela knew a lot about her craft and was very encouraging and patient which made a beginner like me feel at ease. We learned a variety of brush techniques and about the various materials used in watercolour painting. Pamela made to sure provide feedback to students where possible and taught at a suitable pace. I would highly recommend this course to all beginners. Thanks, Pamela! :)

A great class led by teacher Pamela. It was a small class so lots of personal attention and guidance. Pamela provided lots of demonstrations, interactive guidance/feedback and helpful advice on paper, brushes and paints to use. A very enjoyable class, I look forward to attending more of her classes.

What a wonderful Mother’s Day afternoon with Pamela. The Bento box was exciting to receive. Pamela’s class is guided at a relaxed pace with clear demonstration of techniques. A zoom class is a perfect way to work in your own space, testing out skills without comparisons! I’ll be booking more classes for sure.

Thought that maybe there was a bit too
much to absorb and put into practice during the session.
Good that there is a link for us to review the lesson.

Robyn Kulmar Apr 2022


The class was fast paced and very informative. The materials provided were excellent. Many thanks.

Jo Fernandes Apr 2022


Pamela was very knowledgeable and approachable in the session.
Learnt quite a few techniques in use of watercolour.
At times the session went too fast and some people missed the instructions. As it is quite a niche area I felt I needed time to see Pamela do a technique a couple of times before trying it myself.
Overall I was glad I learnt something new today which was a highlight of my day!

Nancy Burch Apr 2022


Pamela is a very good teacher. She gave good tips and explanation. The water colour package was just right for a beginner! I shall look forward to giving water colour painting a go. Thank you Pamela and Bento.

Kim Fillingham Apr 2022


Pamela is an excellent teacher and although I suspect from the questions and comments some other participants were not absolute beginners, I certainly am. Pamela took us through various techniques, explaining both the materials and effects she was developing with us. My first activity looked pretty ordinary but by the end of the lesson I was stunned that I was able to make a pretty good attempt at painting a peony. Materials were great - paints and papers although the little brush was a bit of a handicap but convinced me I need to buy a better brush Thanks for a great experience.
I answered no to the team bonding question as this was both an individual activity and of course limited by Zoom. Would be great fun as a team.

Mary Leonard Apr 2022


Teacher moved at a good pace. She mentioned we would have a link to look at the class material again.

Christine Ferguson Apr 2022


I enjoyed and benefitted from the preparation that was done by Pamela before the session began.
It was smooth and fast and I felt engaged in the learning, determined to practise the skills and techniques (after a little break & lunch, to allow the class content to settle into my brain).

Lots of fun and great information. The kit was sent quickly and I had it 2 days before my class. Logging on to the zoom class was easy and straightforward. Pamela was so friendly and engaging. Like the title says this class is for absolute beginners. The information Pamela provided on the basics like paints, paper and brushes were really valuable and then running through different techniques. I learnt a lot and already enjoying playing around with the paints from the kit after class (picture). Thank you!

Bake Simple Scones and Jam at Home review by Emma Ferguson

Cassandra French Jan 2022


I loved the class. Instruction was clear and given in a friendly inclusive way, where everyone participating was checked in on with the teacher. My jam turned out sticky and delicious. My scones tasty and plump. The teacher was great at helping me alter mine slightly to make them gluten-free. What I liked is her understanding of the science of cooking and being able to explain why the butter must be very cold, the oven very hot and the reasons not to overwork the dough. A fun class for a Sunday. Recommend.

Thank you, Pamela, for a fast-paced and engaging couple of hours! I have lots more practice to do yet, but I was pleased with the bouquet artwork I created! And can definitely imagine using the various flowers and leaves you showed us to create cards and similar in future.
I've done a couple of other online classes and found that Pamela talked more than others about the various different paints and papers on the market and how they differ - very useful information for the future.

I recently organised Pamela's, Christmas Baules Ball class for our company social club. Pamela was well organised, had our packages sent and delivered quickly. The class itself was well structured and organised, it was alot of fun and everyone had a great time. Pamela hosted the class to let everyone be creative in their own way whilst still making it really fun. I would definitely use Pamela again and would recommend to her anyone, she has a very easy going personality and really adapted well to our group. Thank you Pamela until next time :)

So much fun! It's hard to pick an activity for 11 people and not pick something too feminine. Everyone loved the class. Thanks Pamela for making it so easy and fun. We will definitely be back to try something else.

Veronika Bracegirdle Sep 2021


Pretty happy with how the class went. The teacher was really great. She didn't go to fast but would make sure everyone was up to the current steps before moving on. The tips were great. I had lots of fun in this class. And will highly recommend this to others and likely attend another class

This class was a really good introduction to watercolour painting - covering the tools and equipment you'd need to get started with watercolour painting. Pamela ran through a number of different techniques that we practiced alongside her; and at the end of the class we painted a large flower together. I've decided to join her watercolour flowers class to learn a bit more about this medium. A fun way to spend a couple of hours via zoom. The supplied kit had everything we needed for the class and then enough paint & paper left over to practice some things on our own afterwards.

Renee Kovalskis Sep 2021


Pamela is very knowledgeable about all things watercolour and shared her knowledge in a friendly and accessible way. I learnt so much that I hope I can go back to dabbling on my own. The materials supplied were also very generous. I was pleased with some of the samples that I created and am inspired to give it another go. Also appreciated the follow up hand out with guidance on what materials to purchase. Thanks so much Pamela.

I had not done any water colour painting before so it was a very steep learning curve but I certainly learnt a lot and am considering doing the beginners class to start from basics.

Pamela was so knowledgeable about watercolours and her class was definitely pitched at the right level. She had an extremely well structured and organised set of activities to build your confidence and experiences with watercolours, so that afterwards, when you are on your own, you could experiment and build your skills at your own pace. She also answered all questions in a pleasant and patient manner and sent us a list of equipment and tips via email after the lesson. Lastly, the class went a little longer than was scheduled, which I thought showed how enthusiastic and focused on sharing her craft she is. Highly recommended.

Pamela's class was very enjoyable and great to follow for absolute beginners such as ourselves.

Cathy Bray Sep 2021


Pamela covered an extra ordinary amount of information in the allotted 2 hour workshop. I loved the inspirational notebook with watercolour pieces that she showed us at the end. That might have been nice to see at the beginning while she was talking about paper and watercolour selection. Very happy that she said she would provide a list or recommended materials - so look forward to receiving that. Understanding and very encouraging - I’d definitely like to do Pamela’s class in the next level up in Watercolours in a month or two. Thank you for delivering the excellent kit, too,

Pamela pitched the information perfectly for beginners, explaining the basic tools and how to use them, what they do - paper, paint and brushes. The small project at the end was fun, and confidence building, it would have been nice if we could have done one more to really get a 'feel' for what water colours can achieve. Time goes so quickly though and that can't be helped.

A really great introduction to techniques for novices - like me. Pamela was informative and went at a good pace. Well set up online with 2 camera views (face and hands/paper), so you could clearly see the techniques as Pamela discussed them.
Highly recommend this course if you've never picked up a paint brush (like me), or exploring a new medium. I also recommend buying the kit. You use all items during the class and the paper is already prepped for you.

The teacher was very knowledgeable about her subject and worked well with the livestream. She kept a reasonable pace for learning and allowed time for any questions. The box was well put together and contained 95% of what was needed (and 100%of what needed to be bought). Technical delays were due to user lack of familiarity with Zoom not the teacher's issues. The camera was angled perferctly so you could see her paints, paper and hands and learn what she was doing. Would highly recommend to an absolute beginner or relative beginner and I will try another course now. I love my peony painting and can't believe I achieved this from 1 lesson.

Pamela did an excellent job leading the class on the fundamentals of watercolors. She explained the importance of using high quality watercolor paper (heavy weight paper with glycerin coating to slow water absorption), how to identify a good paint brush (bristles that return to true after bending) and the difference in cost/quality of water color paints.

She also demonstrated various techniques such as wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, watercolor mechanics, masking with wax, texturing with salt as well as others. Her camera set up gave us a bird eye view of her canvas, and she clearly explain what she was doing. It was very easy to follow along and practice.

Overall I’m very happy with the class and it greatly exceeded my previous experience self learning watercolor.

It was a lot of fun and interesting to learn of the Japanese custom of hanging them at the ground of their home to bring health and prosperity to children. The craft elements were supplied ahead of time with plenty for the class and extras to make more later. There was lots of variety to allow for individual creativity. The boys loved it and can’t wai to hang their wares for all to see. Thanks Pamela. From Julie Bill and Alfie

Pam came to our offsite venue with all the materials, and we didn't have to prepare anything. I was happy to be able to arrange something very different for our team to do together.

I’ve organised a terrarium workshop for my team offsite, which is made up of predominantly male. Pam is a great instructor in keeping everyone engaged, and came well prepared. We all had a lot of fun doing this workshop!

Very pleased with the class, Pamela was very welcoming, helpful and encouraging. I'm confident I can continue to make more kokedamas, certainly good value!

The absolute beginner's watercolour workshop was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. The beginning activity was a great way for us newbies to practise various watercolour techniques and begin feeling comfortable with holding a paintbrush. All art supplies were provided and a hot drink from the downstairs cafe was included in the cost as well. Pamela did a good job of demonstrating the techniques simply and effectively.

Suggestion for improvement: the taping down of papers for the beginning activity seemed to take considerable time and could be something that was prepped for students before the workshop.

My two kids didn’t know they were doing the workshop, it was a surprise for them.

They both enjoyed it and were very pleased and proud of their results!

We found the teacher informative, creative and pleasant to the kids and the adults who were in attendance.

This class was fantastic! Both my children did this and when it was over my son asked if we could do it again. Pamela the Teacher was great she had lots of great ideas. There was lots of supplies to get the creative juices flowing and it was great value for money.

Miss 4 had a wonderful time and her comment on the way home was that Pamela treated her like a big girl. She was (as was I) thrilled with the class and the supplies provided.

My daughter and her friends were thrilled with this experience. She couldn't wait for her dad and grandparents to have a look at her special 'Princess Sophia' fairy garden. Pamela was a wonderful teacher, incredibly patient and willing to spend some extra time guiding us parents on how to make elements of the fairy props. Highly recommend for a fun school holiday activity.

This was a very enjoyable workshop. It was well organised with lots of supplies available. The kids left with a big smile and a lovely potted garden.

Ruth Fordyce Jul 2019


My daughter (nearly 8) and I really enjoyed this workshop. Pamela was lovely and gave just the right amount of guidance while letting the kids exercise their own creativity. I was impressed with the amount and quality of materials supplied - great value! Thanks for an excellent workshop!

A fun and creative workshop. Pamela was very clear in her instructions and guidance as well as being patient with the kids. My ids made a fairy garden and dinosaur garden. Both of them were thrilled with the final result. 2 days later and they are still crafting things at home to add to their gardens. A very enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

Very cool, once I got my head into the right space. Pamela was encouraging and helpful with ideas. I'm happy with the end results and looking for the best place to display them.

Pamela was such a warm and wonderful teacher. We had a lovely class together and I think I have now found my new Christmas tradition :) Thanks Pamela! Hope to come to another class of yours soon

The team had a great relaxing morning, Pamela offered handy tips to those of us that are not deemed "green fingers" and was very clear on instructions. The plants she offered the group were very healthy and there was plenty of extra's to decorate with. This is a great event to build team spirit. Thank you Pamela.

Pamela was passionate and well paced in her delivery of instructions.
She was fantastically patient with my detailed approach and made the whole experience an enjoyable one.

I would recommend a class with Pamela any time, and enjoyed my introduction to Kokedama thoroughly.

Great venue. Friendly teacher who helped my husband and I learn not only how to make a Kokedama but also shared a bit of its history and showed us how to make a basic macrame hanger. A lovely relaxed workshop that I would definitely recommend!

We had the terrarium class at our office as part of a week of festivities put on for our staff (40 guests) to attend to outside of the norms of working. It was extremely popular and turned out to be a fabulous class. Pamela did an amazing job as the teacher from set up to finish. She was clear and easy to understand and made the class very enjoyable for everyone.
