  • 5/5 from Sabina Capone, attended May 2026: Gabriel was fantastic, as always. I learned so many new skills and came away with some beautiful designs and patterns. The workshop was friendly, relaxed, and incredibly informative. Gabriel has the patience of a saint and a wealth of knowledge, which she shares so generously. I thoroughly enjoyed the textile dyeing class and left feeling inspired, creative, and excited to continue experimenting with the techniques I learned. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Gillian Harrison, attended May 2026: Really enjoyed this course it was so interesting and engaging would recommend it to anyone who wants to do a different type of creative artwork
  • 5/5 from Janice Pearce, attended May 2026: Such an enjoyable workshop. We were guided through the process of textile dyeing with sublimation inks by Gabriela, an inspiring and patient teacher. The day was meticulously organised with a wide range of samples and equipment made available in the light, airy and comfortable studio. A pleasure to experiment with a new technique, to have great fun doing so and to depart with our own creative achievements and ideas for future work.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Whitelaw, attended May 2026: This was my first class of this type of workshop. Very interesting and Gabriela was very patient explaining the various processes to us. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and I came away with some interesting pieces.

Gabriela is an artist and maker. She creates pictures, decorative objects, greeting cards and jewellery with images inspired by memory, nostalgia and a love of everything vintage.
Her work is often humorous and whimsical – unless her romantic side takes over and then you enter into a fairy-tale territory of old-fashioned script, pages of books and music scores populated by chivalrous gentlemen, glamorous ladies, butterflies and rabbits. She blends a fusion of painting and digital media – acrylic, watercolour and ink with digital print – onto paper and canvas to create a wide range of work.
In addition to her own creative endeavours, she is passionate about inspiring other people and sharing her skills, so she devotes a good portion of her time to teaching.
