  • 5/5 from Ann Field, attended Aug 2026: Our teacher - Fanny. - was great - friendly, informative, & with practical ideas and great tips for creating creating texture, then how to paint on top of it. Good examples in the studio. She very much listened to what we each wanted to do and supported those aims.

  • 5/5 from Kim, attended Jan 2024: Alma was a great tutor and very informative. Everything was provided for and learned some great things during the workshop. Wish I could've stretched out time as it went so fast even though it was 6hrs long (& I was far from finished. Some others did finish their pieces though)! Highly recommend it :)
  • 5/5 from Lucy Culshaw, attended Jan 2024: Great course with Alma! Really exciting to experiment with new materials and learn from a very friendly and talented teacher. The day allowed plenty of time for hands on learning and most people finished their pieces in time, with recommendations on how to develop their piece of they wished. Overall a fun day of textured abstract painting!
  • 5/5 from Danielle Perez, attended Jan 2024: Absolutely brilliant! I highly recommend it. Alma is an amazing artist and teacher. Very talented, patient and so inspiring! I was very tired and frozen after a long journey, and really not in a creative mood when I arrived. However, I forgot about the tiredness and the freezing cold outside as learnt so much during the day! It was just fascinating. I don't know anything about technique, but Alma helped me learn new skills with brilliant tips. I experienced more than I created. Unlike my lovely fellow students who produced magnificent pieces of art and knew exactly what they wanted, I produced something that I did not particularly like, but it was a fantastic learning experience and time flew. As the group was small (6) Alma was able to help and teach each of us new skills. Really brilliant. If you book thing go for this one!
