- 5/5 from Anne Webster, attended Jul 2025: Rach was lovely and explained everything really well. It was a really fun evening and we came away with some nice prints. It was good to get outside to pick our flowers for the prints and to use natural sunlight. Rach provided everything we needed to make some lovely art and have a good time. Venue nice as well. Thanks Rach - I’ll definitely be back to do another workshop.
- 5/5 from Chantelle Kay-Boom, attended Jul 2025: Amazing evening being creative. Rach created a lovely relaxing yet informative atmosphere. Great venue and lovely to walk away with art I've created, in a unique style I wouldn't have otherwise used.
- 5/5 from Alison Adams, attended May 2025: I had an amazing time at the Cyanotype class, really loved it!. Rach was a great teacher, giving lots of information but in a relaxed way, making the whole session fun. After an introduction to the techniques, we were able to make our own artworks, and interpret them in any way we wanted, with Rach always on hand to help and give more ideas and inspiration. We ended up with lots of our own prints to take home. It has definitely inspired me to carry on at home. Would absolutely recommend Rach’s classes, so good.
- 5/5 from Richard Adams, attended May 2025: An excellent afternoon learning cyanotype printing with Rach. A lovely atmosphere allowing a creative experience using a range of botanicals and negative prints.
- 5/5 from Karine Joshua, attended May 2025: Without a doubt, one of the best workshops I've done and really exceeded any expectations! Rachel was so lovely and a brilliant teacher. We felt like we learnt so much, but in a really relaxed way. There was lots of great input and support but also plenty of time for experimenting and self-led creations. We left feeling really inspired... thank you! :)
- 5/5 from Tudor Baker, attended Mar 2025: This was a great workshop, thoroughly enjoyed it and was lead amazingly by Rach. They explained everything really clearly and were happy to answer any extra questions from the group. There was lots of resources to make beautiful prints and room for trail and error too! Would definitely recommend and do future workshops with Rach/little lion studio!
- 5/5 from Annette Cooke, attended Mar 2025: A fabulous workshop. Rach explained the process clearly and with great enthusiasm then let us create. She was always on hand for helpful info and advice. A brilliant evening- go along by yourself or with friends. It was such a warm and welcoming group with lots of creative masterpieces produced.
- 5/5 from Graham Mark Thompson, attended Mar 2025: It was a mark of the professional and welcoming approach of Rach that my initial nerves soon disappeared. I enjoyed every moment of the workshop and look forward to the next one. Even at 76 it feels very satisfying to learn new creative skills and Rach certainly facilitated these very well indeed.

- 5/5 from Angelique Stavrinoudi, attended Mar 2025: What an awesome experience enjoyed every minute
- 5/5 from Jennie Vickers, attended Jul 2024: What a brilliant workshop! Thank you to Rach who led the session, making it really engaging and fun.

The venue is lovely too and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

I'm an artist printmaker and life model based in Manchester city centre producing personal work as well as facilitating printmaking, life drawing and painting workshops regularly in Manchester. I regularly travel for private workshops and events so I’m happy to bring the studio to you! I absolutely love watching people explore the huge variety of printmaking techniques. In addition to the pure joy of creating, making something new boosts self esteem, relieves stress and anxiety, stimulates the mind, and helps us to interact with ourselves and our community in a different way than our usual day-to-day lives. Printmaking provides the opportunity to explore and communicate our thoughts, emotions and ideas in a fun and experimental way. I teach regular printmaking workshops at The Village Hall, Deansgate Mews as well as private 1-2-1 sessions in my personal studio at Hidden. I also run workshops for other artists, corporate events and neighbourhood complexes. So Little Lion Studio is many things, but there is just me at it’s heart. Essentially, I am an artist and workshop facilitator providing a safe and encouraging space for people to come and feel comfortable creating, exploring, experimenting, talking, thinking and feeling.
