I really enjoyed the ‘Alcohol Ink Workshop’ with Kirsty!
Kirsty was a great teacher, and both friendly and welcoming.
Kirsty explained and demonstrated the technique step by step; and then advised us individually on our colour choices and designs to create our desired results.
As a complete novice, I was delighted with my results, and I would definitely recommend the session for either individuals, or as a friends/family fun group activity!

This was my first attempt at Lino printing and I loved it, Kirsty explained everything really well and was patient and attentive. The 3 hours flew by. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to try something new and create some beautiful art for their home

The class was so good! Small numbers of participants meant more attention from Kirsty.

It was a technique which was new to me, so I enjoyed learning new things.
Will definitely come back for further classes!

The teacher was lovely and I feel like we accomplished a lot in three hours - especially enough knowledge to complete at home.

Thoroughly enjoyed the lino workshop! Kirsty was a great teacher and provided excellent guidance throughout the session. Feeling extremely inspired to create more! Great way to start a new year!

Thanks Kirsty!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Lino Cut 3-hour course today. Kirsty's guidance was clear and engaging, making the intricacies of lino cutting accessible even for beginners like me. The hands-on experience allowed me to explore various techniques, from carving to printing, and I appreciated the emphasis on individual creativity. The small class size ensured personalized attention, fostering a supportive learning environment. By the end of the session, I not only gained a newfound appreciation for the art of lino cutting but also left with a tangible piece that showcased my newly acquired skills. Overall, a highly rewarding and inspiring course.

I learnt so much on the Lino print course and all thanks to Kirsty. I thoroughly enjoyed myself with the end result so much so, I am very enthusiastic to join another group early next year.
Great value for money and the venue was delightful. Thank you

Kirsty is a great teacher. Relaxed session and good instruction. Would have happily carried on experimenting with the alcohol inks. Enjoyed painting the bauble too.

Carole Mindham Dec 2023


Our teacher was excellent, well prepared and knowledgeable. She explained the process carefully and demonstrated clearly so we could all (everyone a beginner!) Start quite quickly. She had plenty of equipment and even added a surprise bauble. We were all very pleased with our results.

We visited The Hive which was a quirky converted barn where the alcohol ink painting took place. Kirsty is a fantastic and very patient teacher who talked us through the process, different methods and various tips. The materials used were to a high standard and there was plenty to chose from. We enjoyed it so much that we are already talking about booking another class.

I had such a brilliant day on this course! I’ve been keen to explore printmaking again but haven’t done anything since art college over 20 years ago. I learned so much on the day and picked up tons of useful tips and advice, Kirsty took us through each stage of the process until we all ended the day with beautiful prints. it’s really given me the confidence to now go and create my own prints. Thank you so much Kirsty.

Carolyn Linton May 2023


Kirsty was great at teaching us all the techniques needed to enable us to produce lovely prints to take home. She took time to help us on an individual basis to ensure we got the most out of the class. Great fun.

Louise Hamill May 2023


Loved this class! The Hive studio is on a gorgeous farm inside a lovely converted barn. Really peaceful. Our teacher was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, and there was lots of tips and also lots of hands on experience. The process itself is easy to pick up and we had plenty of time to experiment and hone our technique. We learned about the use of colours and also metallic pigments. Such a nice morning and I’d love to do it again!

I had the BEST morning at the alcohol ink class at The Hive. The venue was perfect and the course itself was such value for money. The teacher was knowledgeable, welcoming and encouraging. I learnt so much and was so absorbed in the process that I could've stayed there all day. I have since come home and purchased the same items so I can continue to practise the new skills I have learnt. Would definitely recommend! 5*

Great afternoon class learning how to lino print. Very knowledgeable teacher who made the class informative and fun. I loved the whole process of lino printing from drawing the design, getting it onto the lino, craving the negative image and printing in variety of colours. Time whizzed by. Would recommend

Cate Evans Dec 2022


Such an enjoyable, relaxed way to enjoy a bit of festive creativity, in the company of lovely, like-minded ladies and such a helpful teacher, Kirsty. The venue is tucked away down a pretty country lane and warm & cosy inside. Snacks & Christmas treats were laid on. The materials used were plentiful, varied & inspiring and any help I required was prompt & Kirsty made me feel more confident about my bit-better-than-basic skills :)

Thoroughly recommend a class with Kirsty and in this setting.

The class was taught by Kirsty whom was very friendly & knowledgeable with all the questions I asked. She talked through the supplies we would be using which were laid out in a very organised room. The class gave me a chance to try something new before investing in all the supplies. I definitely needed the hands on learning which help me understand and practice techniques I had already watched online. I had a great time painting & learning with Kirsty, and can not wait to try on my own very soon.
