  • 5/5 from Emily Beirne, attended Sep 2025: Thank you so much. We had a great time print making! It was such an enjoyable class. We didn’t want to leave!
  • 5/5 from Leanne Darbyshire, attended Sep 2025: I'm really enjoying this art class, the atmosphere is very relaxed and every week there is a new theme to explore. I don't have much experience with art but I felt welcomed and the teachers are very helpful. It is nice to have a couple of hours a week to just be creative and try new things.
  • 5/5 from Elaine Hill, attended Aug 2025: Feeling rather nervous about going along on my own and with very little art experience I was very quickly put at ease by Anna the artist who led our class. Anna was so friendly and supportive as she shared her artistic experience and knowledge. It's a different medium each week so a great way to get a taster of each. The art class is the most relaxing 2 hours of my week and I'm loving my new found love of art. Can't wait for the next session.
  • 5/5 from Martina Pugliese, attended Aug 2025: I've had such a great time, the atmosphere is cosy and very inclusive. I've practised a tool (the quill) that I'd never used before and it was a delightful way to spend an evening. Highly recommended whatever your abilities

PPS I’m not the best at art so copied you whale pic!
  • 5/5 from Maura O'Callaghan, attended May 2025: I really enjoy this class. Anna is a great teacher, so patient and helpful, leaning more towards us doing our own thing. A fun class, relaxed atmosphere, learning something new each week. Couldn't recommend enough.

I received my gift card as a Christmas present from my daughter.
