- 5/5 from Anne Maria Hayes, attended Sep 2024: Vanessa's style is excellent. Made the it very easy to understand process and gave enough support that you felt being taught not taken over. Thank you. Venue excellent and Vanessa brought plenty of supplies so not felt waiting for others to take their turn. Everyone including myself walked away with enjoyable experience and a nice picture. Would recommend.
- 5/5 from Richard Waller, attended Sep 2024: Great session, learnt a lot in a relaxed and fun way! Thank you very much!
- 5/5 from Pavandeep Panesar, attended Jul 2024: Received this class as a birthday gift, altogether great experience. The studio and facilities were very good upstairs at Cass Art. All materials were provided with some interesting books to look at also. The teacher knew lots about her subject and explained the history/background along the way which was great to contextualise what we were doing. She was very helpful and provided excellent guidance. Ended up with a half decent Gansai botanical painting mounted on board to take home!
- 5/5 from Alla Bennett, attended Jul 2024: Very interesting class not only to do the actual painting but to learn a bit more about oriental art It was a birthday gift and such a great one. Feel very inspired.
- 5/5 from Alan Wallat, attended May 2024: Received the class as a gift and it was the best workshop I've ever done. Relaxed atmosphere, teaching was informative and well paced. Had a great choice of art to work on, all manageable within the time limit and enthusiastic help from Vanessa. Highly recommended!
- 5/5 from Abigail Levesque, attended Mar 2024: Vanessa was wonderful! So interesting and helpful. The class was so much fun, I learnt a lot, got to work with materials o had not worked with before, and I really liked the piece I got to take home. I highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Gabriele Hauck, attended Feb 2024: To hear Vanessa talking about the Japanese art of painting was fascinating. We tried to do it and the results were great. I had a lot of fun and I will come again. Thanks Vanessa Gabriele
- 5/5 from Alvaro Campos, attended Oct 2023: Vanessa has been a fantastic teacher, providing you with the materials for all the lesson, working with you on every step, from explaining to you the tradition and history of the Japanese painting, explaining every step of the drawing and painting to the final step of framing your work. Good balance of guidance, explaining the process but allowing you to work. Also a good plus setting the atmosphere with Studio Ghibli jazz music!
- 5/5 from Sarah Nolan, attended Oct 2023: Vanessa was such a great teacher. She talked us through the interesting history and tradition of Japanese watercolour painting and how the materials are prepared. The pacing of the class was perfect and she gave very useful instructions and tips along the way. As a beginner in painting I was really pleased with the artwork I was able to take home because of her fantastic tuition. She made the class feel relaxed and fun whilst still actually educational! I’d definitely do another class by her.
- 5/5 from Alessandra Maggiora, attended Apr 2023: Fantastic class! Vanessa is very knowledgeable and she will explain everything, even the more technical details. Loved the class so much that I’m staying for the second one! ️
