I learned a lot from this class. Pascal is so nice a very generous with her tips and advice. Great starting point if you are interested in watercolour.

I learnt so much from Pascale! She was so helpful, encouraging and gave me loads of feedback. She helped me believe in myself and never once did I feel embarassed. The kit she provided was excellent and taught me all about paint, brushes and paper. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about how to paint.

This class was awesome! We had a great afternoon learning and creating several beautiful artworks. Pascale was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our three hour class (which absolutely flew by!) Highly recommend this class :)

The class was good, the teacher was really welcoming and explained concepts clearly.
The exercises were diverse and I felt they helped me develop better understanding of watercolour techniques.

The best 3 hours of my weekend. Enjoy learning all the techniques. Pascale is an amazing teacher - and she was able to make learning so much fun with tonnes of tips during the session.

Highly recommend if you want to learn your watercolour technique from an expert .

I had a great afternoon with Pascale. She gave personalised instruction and spent a good bit of time on the colour wheel, which really made a difference to how I decided how to proceed with my work. She was very thorough with the various techniques and I managed to figure out my preferred method. I am very happy with the results and what I went home with, especially my larger piece.

This was a great class, the watercolour paints, brush and paper that you're given all seem high quality and there's a lot of freedom to explore the different techniques that are taught. Pascale does a great job of balancing letting you try things out on your own, making mistakes and learning, with giving really helpful suggestions and will pay attention to the kind of style that you're leaning towards and help you move in that direction. She was really kind, helpful and fun!

Pascal was very friendly and knowledgeable, she made us feel welcome and confident. The brushes and paints we received were good student quality and I’ll keep using them to develop the skills she helped us learn.

Jackie Bourn Jan 2023


For a complete novice this class provided so much. Concepts explained well and practical examples shown so you could practice yourself. Has definitely inspired me to give it a go and practice and learn more. Thanks for your patience.

The teacher was helpful and answered most of my questions. As I have been doing alcohol inks for a few months now, I felt that the class was a little too beginner for me however she did challenge me to try new techniques and ways of working. I was completely unfamiliar with the drip technique which she taught us.

I was surprised that the venue did not have windows or a lot of ventilation when working with such a toxic medium, and that we did not wear masks/respirators. The teacher encouraged us to use straws with the art which is a controversial topic in the AI art community due to breathing in the fumes of the alcohol.

Took my wife and teenage son to an alcohol ink class for some quality time together.
Pascal was excellent in showing us the basics of alcohol ink - she was patient, knowledgeable in all visual arts, many tips to take away and warming - and this helped us get our creative juices flowing.
Will look forward to attending further classes.

This was a nice first experience for both my mum and I. I am quiet and shy, so having the teacher be very warm, welcoming and fun made me feel more comfortable.
The area that we paint was a bit small, so luckily it was only a class of three. However, a bigger group might be too tight.
We were given a choice of three different types of alcohol ink to choose from, allowing us to see which ones we felt best suited for us.
As an induction course, we did learn the basic ideas and techniques, and with that, allows us to experiment at home, which I value, as I do hope to go to the next stage after getting the hang of the basics first and experiment on my own.
I am happy that I attended and will hope to attend again in a more advanced course.

Both teachers were so lovely and accommodating. We really enjoyed the experience! Thank you so much :)

Jo Galea Aug 2022


Class was amazing and Pascale is an enthusiastic and informative teacher! She gave excellent info about theory and basics before making the art piece so we really understood the different processes and techniques. 3 hours went by so quickly

Christine Bala Aug 2022


Loved everything about this class. Resources were plentiful, teacher was fantastic and the process from beginning to end was so enjoyable! Can't wait to follow this up with a second class, it was fantastic!

Pascale was great, patient, took her time and didn't rush me through the process. She certainly has an eye for detail and helped me understand inline with my beginners level of experience about balance and colour.

Pascale was a wonderfully patient teacher. I loved how she progressed us from knowing nothing to having a few skills/techniques. We came away with lots of examples. And it was a really enjoyable thing to do together.

Pascale is a wonderful host and teacher, and the class environment was well set out and creatively inspiring, even including the background music! Absolutely everything needed was provided and, afterwards, an email list of reminders of what I had learned, plus tips and tricks, was sent to me. It was excellent value for money, especially considering I got three solid hours (more actually) of tuition and advice. I can thoroughly recommend this class and look forward to going back for the intermediate session soon. My photo shows one of the four alcohol ink artworks I made in class, then I applied the lettering and framed it at home - it's really beautiful. Thank you, Pascale :)

Teacher was totally appropriate for the setting and class - friendly, knowledgeable, happy, down to earth, Inclusive and respectful.
Venue and materials were organised comfortable and generous.
Value for moneyabsolutely yes! Time management was flexible and well paced.
I learnt another new technique and left with a greater appreciation of the skills needed to produce an accomplished piece of work.
Highly recommended.
Thank you! ❤

This class was exactly what I wanted and needed, in a beautiful gallery location, from an accomplished working artist and art teacher. The time flew by, and I learnt some good basic skills, which is what I wanted from the class. I would definitely book more classes with Pascale.

Had a wonderful time learning about the basics of alcohol inks and trying different techniques.
Pascal was a great teacher, stepping us through the introductory course and giving us inspiration to create in our own - and lots of tips and tricks.

I was pleased to find I was the only person in the class - the one-on-one focus of the teacher was a real bonus. The teacher has a wealth of knowledge that she is keen to share and I picked up some neat tips & tricks for my watercolour practice moving forward.

Leigh Feb 2021


We really enjoyed the workshop. Our instructor was helpful and lovely. We were so engrossed that time flew, and we all wanted to put so much time into every piece that we were a bit rushed at the end But that last piece was the best anyway!

Jo Lockwood Feb 2021


I had a great time at this ink workshop. Pascale creates a very warm and relaxed space for experimenting with colour; no pressure, just fun and surprises.
We started out with tiny squares to experiment with the ink and these turned out well enough to make into little gift cards. We then moved onto larger pieces (up to A4). I was constantly delighted by the 'happy accidents' that the ink creates and left with some pieces to frame. The time went too fast and we were a bit pushed at the end but perhaps working under pressure is a good thing.
I can recommend this workshop for a creative and fun time.

This was a really fun afternoon and a good introduction to alcohol ink art. Pascale was very friendly and helpful and the small class size was great. The SPACE gallery is a great venue - make sure you leave yourself extra time to eat and shop at the Cannery.

Unfortunately: Poor Communication, Disorganised & Expensive.
We arrived for the workshop that had been booked and paid for through Class Bento; however, the teacher, Pascale, was unaware of the workshop. She was unprepared and asked us to leave and return later while she hurriedly got some materials together and we started about half an hour later. I had booked for 2 guests (aged 13 & 14) and then stayed and paid her directly for a third guest, as under 18's could not be left unaccompanied. The workshop involved applying ink to paper and tile. Pascale demonstrated some simple techniques, however she did not want to share certain techniques (such as creating ink lines) as she regarded them as her personally developed technique. Also parking is difficult find and expensive at the Cannery with a 3hour workshop and there is no validated parking available.
