  • 5/5 from Jan Thompson, attended Jul 2026: Always great with Sarah and her expertise of knowing all things art. Putting you at ease when you feel nervous. Had a lovely group this morning, lovely location lovely weather. We watercoloured with hues and used coins can’t remember the name of it but wrapped them in kitchen towel and lifted the paint off in circles! the pictures are before and after
  • 5/5 from Shelley Simpson, attended Jul 2026: Every day is a school day you think you know how water colours work then they do the unexpected. Sarah’s demonstration on what could go wrong and how to avoid disappointment. I fell into every pit fall but still ended with something I would hide.
  • 5/5 from Caroline Hart, attended Jul 2026: Like trying new things and enjoyed the session. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Julie Harding, attended May 2026: Attended with my friend for her birthday. Really enjoyed the class. As a complete beginner, Sarah explained ideas and techniques which were easy to take on board for painting with watercolour. Came away with a watercolour of a flower wreath which I am really pleased with. Lovely cosy and welcoming atmosphere to paint in. Will be looking to book another class.
  • 5/5 from Kirsty Cort, attended May 2026: Always feel inspired and proud of my creations from Sarah's classes my skills and confidence are improving too. She is an amazing tutor and artist and the whole experience with a lovely small intermate group is a joy, as are the coffee and bikkies. I'm always checking on workshops Sarah offers.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Tranmer, attended May 2026: Lovely calm atmosphere. Skilled teacher who guides and encourages the participants well. Enjoyed my morning.
  • 5/5 from Mel, attended Apr 2026: We had a fantastic morning at the ‘tea and biscuits’ watercolour workshop. Sarah is so friendly and helpful - we learned a lot from her that I’m looking forward to carrying on into my paintings. Can’t wait to book our next workshop - would definitely recommend. Mel & Mark
  • 5/5 from Ruth Allen, attended Apr 2026: I just love Sarah's workshops, her style of teaching and her fabulous little studio. As a returning student I always pick up a new skill and great tips on how to improve my art. Thank you so much Sarah, already looking forward to my next workshop...

  • 5/5 from Sue Tildesley, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed the Lino printing class, not having done this since school. Sarah gives good instructions and everybody produced a printed piece in the time. Lovely friendly small class. I’d recommend this to anyone, who, like me, hasn’t done this for years.
  • 5/5 from Sue Tildesley, attended Feb 2026: I had a great time doing a ‘loose’ painting and ink class. Sarah demonstrates well and she is helpful and provides a vast amount of materials to try. I’ve been painting at home a bit ever since. Good value for money too.
  • 5/5 from Shelley Simpson, attended Feb 2026: There was a plethora of materials to use. Sarah shared her knowledge with everyone subtly changed to suit individuals experience.
  • 5/5 from Susan Booth, attended Jan 2026: I had a very enjoyable morning with Sarah at her studio at the Workshop, Negative Painting. We learnt tips and tricks for water colour painting as well as creating 3 different postcard sized examples. All the materials were provided together with free tea or coffee and biscuits. Her studio is cosy and practical in the lovely Ferrers Centre at Staunton Harold. For me I wanted a complete escape morning from my busy work and home life, and that is exactly what I got x
