Recent reviews of Traditional Japanese Sumi-e Ink Painting Workshop: Monthly Floral

• 5/5 from Julia Hathaway, attended Aug 2026: This was a sumi-e workshop (Japanese brush and ink painting). I enjoyed the experience very much, the room was comfortable and there were 12 participants which is a very comfortable number. The teacher taught very well, she helped us by demonstration and personal tuition if required, and gave us some of the history of the items and techniques we were using. I particularly enjoyed learning about tending your brush and how the ink and paper become part of the meditative process and add to the impressionistic style. I didn't notice the time passing!

• 4/5 from Isabel Morris, attended May 2026: Myself and two friends attended an Iris painting workshop. Jasmine was a kind and encouraging teacher, really enthusiastic about the history and philosophy of sumi e. The actual process was much more complex than first appearances suggest and we definitely learned to live with imperfections!
• 5/5 from Danica Petrovic, attended Apr 2026: I spent a relaxing morning learning about Japanese Sumi-e. Jasmine, our teacher, went through the techniques step by step and we produced a piece of work to take home. Jasmine was friendly and helpful in guiding us through all the practice work and then creating a final picture of a Camilla. I really enjoyed the workshop and plan do more.
• 5/5 from Maria Robinson, attended Apr 2026: Absolutely loved this workshop! I’m a total beginner and I came away with a lovely painting. Jasmine was brilliant, talked us through everything in a clear and informative way. I loved that we had to make our own ink using an ink stick! Will definitely be booking the next workshop
• 5/5 from Julie Baines, attended Apr 2026: Really enjoyed the class which went at a good pace and good clear instructions. However the parking was difficult and fraught. Looking forward to future workshops.
• 5/5 from Chloe Newton, attended Apr 2026: Very joyful process, great instruction and freedom to try as much as you want to do. Grinding the ink was very satisfying. Inspired me to buy the ink, brush and paper to have a go at home!
• 5/5 from Anne O'Reilly, attended Apr 2026: Very helpful teacher, well prepared and made sure we all enjoyed ourselves. I found the room to be very cold and parking was difficult.
• 4/5 from Champ Parekh, attended Apr 2026: Need to inform people of parking restrictions and where to park. Site owners need to lower the crib so as not to damage wheels on the car. Atmosphere was good but room was cold to start with. Maybe a small heater for ten minutes? Learnt how to apply pressure on the brush, how to add and remove water from brush and apply the ink. Would be great if sample ink brushes paper were given to take away to continue to practice.
