  • 5/5 from Annette Phillips, attended Sep 2026: This was an amazing class! The day was peaceful, informative and introduced me to another style of watercolour painting. The teacher was lovely and very knowledgeable. Met some really great ladies and all had a yummy Cafe lunch together. The setting was beautiful and very peaceful. Can't recommend these classes enough and can't wait to do another one
  • 5/5 from Mandy Horne, attended Sep 2026: Great course, great teacher, great studio. I enjoyed the length of the class which allowed us to do two paintings, to reflect on the techniques taught and to ask questions. Everything was excellent!
