Recent reviews of Watercolour Workshop: Blooms and Brushstrokes

  • 5/5 from Katharine Kehoe, attended Jul 2026: The evening session was a watercolour one set in the beautiful Patch to Posy Flower Farm. We were shown how to use watercolours after we had picked flowers from a wide variety offered. The session leaders wandered around the groups offering advice and suggestions. It was a really lively and relaxing evening that left me with flowers, art and new ideas to try.
  • 5/5 from Jackie Williams, attended Jul 2026: Mum and I had a great time. It was a treat for her 85th birthday. A beautiful setting. The weather was perfect and we were both novices but with a little bit of tuition felt really confident to just have fun. I would totally recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Briony, attended Jul 2026: I had such a lovely time attending the “blooms and brushstrokes” workshop. Miri and Berni were on hand to guide us throughout the process if we got stuck and provided feedback throughout. The evening was calm and relaxing, they even provided refreshments for us to have a break. It was lovely to be able to take home some fresh locally grown flowers too! Cannot wait for the next workshop!
  • 5/5 from Gemma Cousins, attended Jul 2026: Gorgeous setting and great quality supplies. A lovely size group and very informal. Some good watercolour tips from the hosts and a beautiful post to take home. Lovely sunny two hours.
