• 5/5 from Ashmal Jameel, attended Nov 2024: I bought this class as a present for my wife's birthday. We went together and it was a genuinely engrossing and uplifting experience. Gabriella was an excellent and accommodating teacher, helping us learn new techniques of painting, and using every day objects to create textures in paint. She also walked us through different techniques to create interesting collage. We got to knuckle down and paint/collage for the whole afternoon, while Gabriella kept us topped up with coffee and biscuits. It was a great experience, and we will almost certainly go back for another one of her classes :) Thanks Gabriella!

• 5/5 from Elaine, attended Aug 2024: I loved every single moment of this class. Gabriela is incredibly kind with sharing her creative thoughts and ideas. It gave me the necessary boost to make full use of the materials given. I left absolutely contented with 2 pieces of completed mixed media collages and also other side pieces produced during the process. I could stay on for hours! I now look forward to experimenting more and getting those creative juices flowing. Thank you, Gabriela - it was such a treat.

I was delighted with my finished result and with all the tips and techniques I picked up along the way. I definitely plan to return and build on my new knowledge.

• 5/5 from Nursel Arslan, attended Apr 2021: This was my 3rd workshop with Gabriela via Obby. I did many more decoupage classes led by her previously and the fact that I keep coming back for more really says it all! I work in advertising and all creativity happens on computer but it's not the same as creating something with your own hands. Gabriela's workshops are great fun and nourishing. She is a great teacher who takes time to help you and answer all your questions. You can follow hear lead and explore your own creative ideas. The workshops inspire me and help me to unlock my own creativity.
