Great evening. Venue was good, lots of space for the large group, easy parking and cheap drinks.

Instructor was great as always, patient and encouraging, working at a good speed. Lots of fun and proud that I managed to produce a painting that I would hang on the wall x

Paula • Attended Oct 2026

What a great class, teacher was fantastic, fun, enthusiastic, patient, engaging and she had a big group to work with but managed to get us all producing great paintings, can’t wait to have another go! What a brilliant way to spend an evening, would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Great class! Jo gave us all confidence and having started with no knowledge of painting, I’m looking forward to doing it again!

I had a great time painting Siren the mermaid last night. Jo was very welcoming, her instructions were clear and she was very helpful and friendly.

We had a lovely evening with Jo who was so welcoming and just brilliant at guiding us through our painting. I'm not an artist at all and was pleased with what I managed to produce! Look forward to going again. Such a nice evening and lovely to do something different.

Paint and Sip Class - Ivinghoe Aston

The group met in the pub for Sip & paint. There were about 15 of us and we painted a picture of a Mediterainian view through an arch towards the sea. The teacher is excellent and very tolerant of our various deficiencies. I have not painted for 50 years since I was at school and have been amazed at the relative success and confidence I have achieved through these great informal painting sessions. I have done two so far and will definitely be doing more.

Rebecca Bristow • Attended Sep 2026

Paint and Sip Class - A5 - the Flying Fox

A really fantastic evening spent in good company. Full equipment was given to create a fabulous painting on canvas to take home. Our teacher was amazing, patiently guiding us through each step and taking the time to help individuals. Thoroughly recommend if you want to switch off and immerse yourself in being creative!

Sam Mills • Attended Sep 2026

This was Sam's fourth time doing this class

Jo is so patient with everyone and makes each person feel seen and included in the class, nothing is too much for her to help and offer guidance to make your painting the best you can do.

This is my 13th painting now and I think it’s one of my favourites

Paint and Sip Class - A5 - the Flying Fox

Have done a few of these now and always have a great evening and come away with a painting my family are impressed by! The atmosphere is always friendly and Jo is so lovely, patient and full of little tips to help create a lovely picture. Such a nice way to spend an evening

Yvonne Janes • Attended Sep 2026

We painted 'Peek a Moo'. A stunning highland cow with gorgeous eyes.

Jo was a fantastic teacher, friendly, gentle and encouraging. Lots of praises for our efforts.

Comfortable venue. Nice sized group which meant we had space. Super group of ladies. Great fun.

I love how we 'build' the painting, and how it all comes together. It is amazing how everyone's looks unique with their own style. It is not strict and you can add your own little bits, or use different colours.

I took Michelle for her birthday treat. It was her first time and she loved it. We will definitely be back.

Julia Mary • Attended Sep 2026

Jo was truly excellent. Despite having a rib injury earlier that day, the class went ahead and she was motivational, supportive, talented and helpful. Operating in an awkward L shaped space she handled it all brilliantly, even providing extra industrial lighting in the pub so we could see properly. Fab.

Erika Steudner • Attended Sep 2026

Jo was is excellent teacher, kept a good pace, helped everyone to trust the process and end the class with a masterpiece.

Michelle Capp • Attended Sep 2026

Really enjoyed my first paint and sip class. Jo was excellent, very patient and a great teacher. Will definitely be signing up for another one

Sharon Coombs • Attended Sep 2026

Meeting up with a friend who has the same interests for a good catch up.

Teresa Afflick • Attended Sep 2026

Booked for my daughters and a friend, as a birthday celebration.

The class was relaxed and fun. Teacher was approachable and bubbly. They all enjoyed it and came away with a nice souvenir of their experience.

Becky Blayney • Attended Sep 2026

Paint and Sip Class - Berkhamsted

Jo always creates an informal, casual atmosphere where she wants folk to be comfortable to ask questions or repeat the instructions, whilst being professional in her approach.

I really like her style. This was my 3rd session with her & I've learnt lots & it shows in this painting.

Thanks to Jo for her patience & care for us budding artists or folk out for a good night out, relaxing & having fun! It's appreciated

Joanna Towler • Attended Sep 2026

What a lovely evening spent in the company of our brilliant Paint & Sip leader, Jo.

We were led carefully step by step through to completion of our masterpieces!

Jo was attentive, gave great advice and was very encouraging.

We will be back for another event.

Julie Hodsden • Attended Sep 2026

Sunflower Avenue

Jo was great

The end always seems a bit rushed which is the toughest part and it is the finer points

Appreciate she has to be out of the venue etc.

maybe start at 6.30pm we didn’t get going till nearly 7pm.but still a great evening.

Deborah Smith-Wilds • Attended Sep 2026

Another fabulous fun night with Jo.

Nice that the class had a good number of people without being crowded.

Everyone was supportive and lighthearted.

Very pleased with my end product even though I say I cannot draw or paint.

Julia May • Attended Aug 2026

Painting woodland stream

Brilliant teacher who despite a class of about 20 of us, managed to keep us all supported and happy

Practical room but not peaceful as part of a very noisy pub

Very happy with the result.

Paint and Sip Class - Harpenden

Always love the Brush Party paintings we do with Jo - this was number 6! Jo is calm and patient helping us all to achieve a great outcome which we are happy with!

I go with my best friend, it’s a chance to catch up, have a glass of something and be creative!

Paint and Sip Class - Bovingdon

Such a fun evening painting an octopus! I learnt new techniques. Jo is a great teacher!

Iris McIntyre • Attended Aug 2026

We had a great evening, Jo as usual, was very helpful with step by step instructions for the painting, which for a novice made it so much easier, and I was very pleased with the end result.

We had all the equipment needed for the painting.

Kaz Shaw • Attended Aug 2026

Really enjoyed it, Jo is a great teacher and I was so surprised that I produced what i did with paint straight on to canvas! For me it was the subject of somewhere in Santorini that pulled me in with my love of the Greek Islands.. similarly, I would be interested in other scenic landscapes or sunsets, The only negative is a few of us did feel we were crammed in a bit but still enjoyable Many thanks

Lisa Mennell • Attended Aug 2026

This was Lisa's second time doing this class

My first time painting for brush party and it was a great evening. Friendly staff and atmosphere and I felt proud of the results.

Kirit Khushal • Attended Aug 2026

The teacher, Jo was excellent, and I would give her 5stars.

The only comment I would make that it should be made clear that it best to eat before your arrive, we ordered food at the restaurant, the food came on time but our break was I think 15/ 20 minutes later.

On the voucher it does state sip and paint and in my opinion you should remove the reference to sip, this gives the impression that you will be providing drinks.

Roz Harris • Attended Aug 2026

Paint and Sip Class - A5 - the Flying Fox

Was an absolutely brilliant night my first one

2026 I challenged myself to do things solo and this was by far my biggest challenge to date but Jo made me feel so comfortable the whole evening was brilliant and I would highly recommended and felt so proud to hang my masterpiece on the wall

Kathryn Lee • Attended Aug 2026

Jo was amazing. I attended the workshop on my own, Jo is very welcoming and very easy to talk to which is great. I learnt to paint the Warrior Elephant. First time I have ever done a elephant and the tutorial Jo gave was very easy to follow, if you get stuck or carried away, she is there to help and adjust any errors they may occur. Loved my session and will look forward to more in the future. Thank you

Great instruction from Jo! Nice painting. Would have preferred a bit more space from the pub, but good venue. Drinks reasonably priced, parking good.

Mary Torpey • Attended Aug 2026

Jo was fantastic and very patient.

I never enjoyed art at school but doing this, certainly changed my mind.

It was very therapeutic & I feel proud of my finished ‘Peahen Bouquet’.
