  • 5/5 from Renée Philippi, attended Feb 2025: Had a great time at our Seascapes painting workshop. The atmosphere was fun, the instructor was lovely, and we both left with paintings we'll be hanging on the wall! I had booked the workshop as a gift for my friend and she loved it; definitely recommend it as a gift idea.
  • 5/5 from Britta Müller, attended Dec 2024: Art class was very nice. We had a lot of options we could choose. Every template, we wanted to have, was provided. The teacher was very friendly and willing to help with any question. I designed a tote bag and a canvas in those 2.5 hours.
  • 5/5 from Silvia Simonassi, attended Nov 2024: Great teacher, very passionate, engaging and kind. Had lots of fun in a relaxed environment
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: I absolutely loved this. It was so refreshing to do an activity I enjoyed as a child! Sally was great, she gave us plenty of advice but also lots of freedom to put our ideas into action. I’ll definitely be back.
  • 5/5 from Renata Adwent-Johnston, attended Oct 2024: We were looking to have a bit of creative fun and fairly enjoyed the relaxing and friendly atmosphere and gently support from Sally- Ann. Will be back for more!
  • 5/5 from Maura O'Callaghan, attended Oct 2024: I had such a lovely evening with Sally and the other people in the group. The venue was warm and welcoming as was Sally. It's clear Sally knows what she is doing. She led the class easily in a laid back manner. Sally explained different techniques and catered to our individual levels. She had prosecco to share and other non alcoholic options too, pizza arrived towards the end of the night which was such a nice touch. In all I couldn't recommend this class high enough if you are looking for a fun art class. Thank you Sally, I will definitely be returning
  • 5/5 from Findus, attended Sep 2024: Sally is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person. We went to the art evening with our mother for her birthday and it was such a lovely evening. The pictures turned out amazing, we had great conversations with Sally and the other participants and overall, the atmosphere was just perfect. We loved it so much! If you’re thinking about going to an art evening, do it!! You will love every minute of it.
  • 4/5 from Kingsley Kalu, attended Sep 2024: Sally was very inspiring and accommodating. Overall wonderful experience with a treat of Prosecco.. Definitely would recommend
  • 5/5 from Kirsty, attended Aug 2024: I attended Arty Evenings with a friend, and we both had a really brilliant time. Sally is an absolute star and made us feel so welcome. Her studio is such a comfortable environment to spend an evening in; it really felt like a bit of an escape and reset! There is also onsite parking, which is a real bonus. All of the supplies were provided and we were encouraged to try lots of different types of materials, with lots of advice, support and inspiration given if we were struggling for ideas or with the techniques. I am a beginner and felt very much at ease. We were even offered drinks and pizza, which was a lovely surprise! I would totally recommend Arty Evenings at Studio 48. For me, the experience would have been enough, but I also came away with four different pieces of art which was wonderful! I've already booked another Arty Evening class later in the month and can't wait.
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Donohoe-Keyes, attended Jul 2024: Prompted by a discount from Clanfit studio. The teacher was very lovely, encouraging and very open to us doing our own interpretation of the prompt. The venue was really nice, a bright creative space. There were a variety of provided materials. As to be expected from an art workshop space some markers and brushes were clearly well used but there were plenty of brushes to pick from so they were easy to switch out, and there were many markers of the same colour so if one was used you could always find another. We painted in a pop art style. The class was very good value for money considering the materials provided. I liked the very chill atmosphere, also the music was quality. The fact there was no real pressure to conform to a specific idea.
  • 5/5 from Emma O'Connor, attended Jul 2024: As a nervous beginner I found Sally welcoming, friendly and very encouraging. She had a fantastic array of materials to play and experiment with, and the chat was good too.
  • 5/5 from Adele Gregory, attended Jul 2024: Wonderful course and evening. I would very much recommend this for people of any age and skill level. Sally, the teacher was helpful, fun and encouraging. The venue was fantastically equipped and had a lovely feel.
  • 5/5 from Rachelle Jones, attended Jul 2024: As a person that’s new to arts and crafts I very much enjoyed the workshop. Sally was a great teacher offering advice when needed but allowing participants to have their freedom in what they want to do. I would recommend to anyone no matter the abilities!
  • 5/5 from Caitlin, attended Jul 2024: What a lovely way to spend an evening, just so nice and chill. ​It's a great venue with so many supplies to choose from and Sally is so knowledgeable and encouraging, I definitely recommend doing a class here​!​
  • 5/5 from Lynda Greer, attended Jun 2024: Inspirational! Thank you Sally Ann. The guilding class this Sat was wonderful. Great atmosphere, very welcoming, informative, and chilled out. My art skills are developing with Sally’s help, lots of materials to choose from, and I can go at my own pace! Studio 48 adult classes have been informative, uplifting, encouraging and fun. Sally Ann has a relaxed teaching style which I love, The studio is a bright, inviting, creative space. Sally’s art classes have inspired me to try new techniques and be more adventurous. All levels of ability accommodated for. I’m really looking forward to learning new skills and techniques each week. The facilities are great. Endless teas, coffees, or stronger beverages and fabulous pizza provided! Great Sat night socialising! Brilliant value for money! I highly recommend! ️️️️️
