• 5/5 from David Britch, attended Jan 2026: Fantastic class, tutor managed to pack a lot into 2 hrs and made sure everyone was comfortable, had constant input if needed and explained the process really well. It’s inspired me to continue with this medium at home.
• 5/5 from Amber Allcock, attended Oct 2025: This is my second class with Kirsty and it was so much fun! Kirsty is an amazing teacher. She has an excellent teaching style, encouraging you to experiment whilst also giving her expertise to guide you with composition and colours. The technique of alcohol inks was also very 'freeing' - the abstract nature means you're free just to have a play and everyone left the class with at least one piece that they were particularly happy with. I would highly recommend this class! Thank you for another great class Kirsty.

• 5/5 from Marie de Silva, attended Oct 2025: I’ve just had a fun, enjoyable workshop at The Hive with a very warm and welcoming teacher. I learnt a lot in the two hours and my confidence grew quickly enough allowing for plenty of experimentation. Everyone left with three or four pieces one of which was A3. Recommended

We enjoyed it so much that we are already talking about booking another class.

Our teacher was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, and there was lots of tips and also lots of hands on experience. The process itself is easy to pick up and we had plenty of time to experiment and hone our technique. We learned about the use of colours and also metallic pigments. Such a nice morning and I’d love to do it again!

• 5/5 from Dina Patel, attended Oct 2021: The class was taught by Kirsty whom was very friendly & knowledgeable with all the questions I asked. She talked through the supplies we would be using which were laid out in a very organised room. The class gave me a chance to try something new before investing in all the supplies. I definitely needed the hands on learning which help me understand and practice techniques I had already watched online. I had a great time painting & learning with Kirsty, and can not wait to try on my own very soon.
