An excellent class to apply zentangle principals and the art of colour shading. I had a lot of fun learning this skill with Niki in a one on one class this morning. Great way to start the weeekend. Im now inspired to keep practicing until i nail it. I will certainly lose a few more hours to this art form today. Thank you for you time, and teaching me this cool new skill!

Draw Zentangle® Art - Exploring Morrisseau
This is a great class for the experienced Zentangler as they can fill each shape with known tangles, as well as the beginner. I like how this class allows the artist to use the Zentangle method to create something very abstract and artistic. Fun application of colour and individual choice with each participants work looking different at the end. Well taught as always, thanks Nikki.

A great paced watercolour lesson. Step by step instruction. Helpful tips along the way. I enjoy painting with Kerrilyn. Thanks

I loved this Christmas watercolour class. It was perfect for the beginner like me who still finds watercolour painting very tricky. It was great to purchased the video add on to go back and watch again as I complete the pine cone card- that one stretched my ability but as Kerrilyn reassured, it all comes together with the final touches. I am supervised at how great the holly and berries look- almost good enough to give as a Christmas card. Thanks for making a beginner like me feel comfortable as my skills do not match my enthusiasm for watercolour painting- yet. Already looking at booking a class for Jan.

Detangle with Zentangle® at Home
A fun relaxing night with Heidi as always. First Heidi guided our small group through the drawing of two different Christmas trees and both a male and female gnome. Then we had a chance to produce our own Christmas themed tile. We were so engaged we ran overtime! That’s when you know you’ve detangled with Heidi and her Zentangle class. Have a lovely holidays season and I hope to join some class in 2024.

Draw Zentangle Art: Butterflies and Bugs
This is a relaxing way to unwind and have fun with new and old Zentangles.I love using zentangle patterns to create interesting illustrations with Niki and this class did not disappoint.Niki will get you started, then on your own you have the time and space to complete a frame worthy piece of art. I cannot believe my final result after spending a few hours sitting and working on this project. Thanks Niki and I look forward to future classes with you soon.Thanks for observing the 2min silence and teaching us the ‘Rosemary’ tangle to mark Remembrance Day.

Detangle with Zentangle® at Home
Fantastic evening class with lots of new tangles to practice. This was a fun class using the cornucopia method. I would like to keep practicing to improve my results but overall, had a relaxing evening. Well paced, each step clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks.

Watercolour Painting at Home: Australian Plants and Birds
Today we had our first of four watercolour classes with Fran. Our first project, the banksia was a fun introduction to painting Australian birds and flowers. As always Fran provided handouts and a template via email before the class. Then online she explains each step and provides practice time before starting on the final artwork. I haven’t painted in a few months, so it was lovely to wet the pallet and get painting with Fran once again. I am always surprised at what I can achieve with Fran’s guidance and look forward to next fortnight’s class.

This was Bianca's second time doing this class
A wonderful free class on how to paint waves. I cannot wait to continue to add white foam and enhance the appearance of the waves as each layer dries. Thanks for a great lesson and the gift of your time.

Learn Zentangle® Art at Home: Dingbatz Decorations
This was a fun, practical way to use zentangle patterns to create fun Dingbatz boarders and decorations. I cannot wait to start applying the dingbatz learned in this lesson on cards, envelopes and more. Thank you for another enjoyable and highly informative lesson. Great that I can use what I have at home already- the No box option is sustainable!

Detangle with Zentangle® at Home
A good evening class starting with some new tangles and practice on scrap paper before stating the tile. Great for the experienced Zentangles and good for a beginner like me. I enjoyed the challenge although my final tangle looked nothing like Heidi’s. Thank you for a relaxing Friday evening class to destress and untangle from a busy week.

Paint a Collection of Things That Make You Happy
A great activity in mindfulness and gratitude. This class helped to to identify the many things that make me happy. (I should have painted more bubbles as encouraged in the videos). I really enjoyed getting marks on paper and not overthinking the process. Very mindful and meditative. Thank you for a great opportunity to reflect on the simple things that make me happy.

Learn Zentangle Art: Tangled Buds and Berries
Today’s tangled berries class was a great way to practice learn skills including colour blending and highlighting. I enjoyed the pace of this class and using the triangle tile and grey tiles for the first time. The pack included all that we needed with some spare tiles for practice in our own time.

Create Zentangle® Stacked Rocks
I love these Sunday afternoon classes with Nikki that help me to reset for the week ahead. Today we created stacked rocks ‘Cairns’ and showed our individual style and flare by patterning each rock. I enjoyed the addition of colour and sharing over markers to create a great effect.Thank you. I cannot wait for the next class!

I’m loving these zentangle classes with Niki. She clearly explains each step and provides time to let you practice before attempting on the tile.Today allowed opportunities to experiment with curved patterns and different colours using ink and colour pencil. A challenging class- which is good to improve skill. Happy with the outcome of both tiles. Thanks for a relaxing Sunday afternoon class.

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.

Draw Zentangle® Art: Lunchtime Tanglers
A wonderful twilight ‘Lunchtime’ tangle class. We learned two challenging tangles: paradox and Cross your heart. I definitely need a little more practice- the perfect excuse for another of Niki’s Zentangling classes.

Learn How to Draw a Yin Yang Mandala
Elsa ran a fantastic one on one Yin Yang Mandala class. She began with a brief hi strong of the boarders and art the art of mandala making before practicing the yin-yang and building the mandala.Elsa was very patient when the Yin-Yang confused me and we had to start all over again.I would definitely do more of Elsa’s classes in the future and appreciated the one on one support to master something every complex. Whilst I did not finish the piece during the class, I have the skills to continue the lotus pattern on my and finish the piece up.Thank you for a lovely evening class.
