Some recent reviews for our Paper Craft and Ink classes

Ines Stewart

Origami Christmas Workshop

Interesting arty venue. Teacher is an artist and world expert in origami. All materials were provided and we were kept very busy for 2 hours. We were given extra materials and instruction sheets to take home. It was a lot of fun.

Robyn Backen

Typewriter Art Workshop

I didn't know what to expect but was delighted with the hands-on experience of making more with typewriters than just writing newspaper stories. Barbara not only had some wonderful machines for us to work and play with but also had a long loved experience oh what they were, how they worked and the marvels artists had performed with them. I wrote a mini book on one 1936 Remington and on various portables tapped out some concrete poerty and some creations I never thought I had in me. Well done and thanks I shall never look at a typewriter or use one the same again. Photo shows a Contessa I believe belonged to the Australian Federal Police-what a colour

Typewriter Art Workshop

I attended Barbara’s typewriter workshop this afternoon. After an historical introduction to each typewriter I settled to type on a blue Olivetti. The flour mill studio was a great space to work in with, Chris, Debbie and Sarah. We all had very different approaches to creating on the analogue machines.

I had a great time at the Modern Caligraphy Workshop. Icy is an excellent teacher. I completed this workshop having already completed Icy's bullet journalling workshop. I'd highly recommend the caligraphy workshop to anyone interested in getting started. This workshop is great for novices like me.

Thank you Icy! I had a great time in your calligraphy workshop. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to pick up the basics :) Even as a left-handed person who has never attempted calligraphy before. I will be back!

Anyone Can do Brush Lettering Workshop

This workshop was the best way to spend a creative morning. The venue is perfect with a great vibe. Vanessa is lovely, patient, easily approachable and very helpful. It was a reduced number of people in this class due to covid, which actually was nice as Vanessa had more time to give feedback to everyone. All materials were provided and they were nice and easy to use, and perfect to take home and keep practicing. I felt like the time was flying during the workshop! I got a lot of personalised tips from Vanessa and she really made us all excited about brush lettering. I highly recommend this workshop, whether in-person or online.

Timothy Williams

Shodo Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Ren San is an excellent teacher a real Sensei of calligraphy
The space is well lit with windows on the south and east, the materials and work tables beautifully prepared.
He talked about the importance of breath, of calm, of how the brush transmits your state of mind. He finds out what you know and adapts to your level. You learn how to prepare the ink, Ren listens for the correct grinding sound on the stone.
He teaches Brush technique and exercises to practice. A word is chosen, the strokes, their order and the balance of spaces between were practiced on thin paper again and again and discussed, then you commit to a beautiful piece of board.

After a fleeting hour, You go home with a beautiful thing peace

Calligraphy Workshop: Breathe Your Words Out

This workshop is very well paced, structured, all the material such as the crystal with our name and ‘word’ that we received are personalised. It’s a very well planned and thought out workshop which is beyond my expectation. Not only I learnt how to do calligraphy but also had a chance to tap into my inner intuition during the workshop. It’s highly recommended and now my friends are asking when the next one is! Can’t wait to do another one with Vanessa from Bondi Letters!
