Heidi's reviews

A great little workshop to keep kids entertained and the creative juices flowing during the school holidays/lockdown. Clear, easy to follow instructions and plenty of time (and encouragement) to experiment and share results with the rest of the class. A lovely way to spend the morning. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this class. Vanessa’s soothing voice and clear instructions allowed me to really switch off from everything else and get into the experience. I loved playing with the watercolours and just being able to experiment with a couple of different techniques. Something that I will definitely look into doing again!

Calm Your Mind with Watercolour Meditations review by Heidi Kark

Jul 2019



I've always admired people who are able to do beautiful hand lettering, so I jumped at the chance to do a Beginners Class and see if I have what it takes!
The venue was easy to locate, with plenty of (paid) parking nearby. I loved that
Alena provided everything needed to get started - she even included 'Thank you' bags with snack inside, and then invited us to take home all of the materials that had been used during the class! We learned how to do basic brush strokes, and how to break individual letters down into each of these basic strokes. I found the whole process quite calming, as I learned to take my time and not rush through. I still have a lot to learn, but I am already quite proud of my efforts. This was a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and I look forward to signing up to do further classes with Alena when she returns to Canberra.
