• Testimonials; ”Really enjoyed it and we are all chuffed with our masterpieces. I went with no art experience, just to socialise with friends and have some fun. It exceeded all expectations and I left with a painting that I genuinely want to put up in my house! Can’t wait to go back again. Big thank you to Jane!” Jess. “I had such a great time. The class was super relaxed and Jane made it really easy to follow along. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for a fun activity to do with friends and family.” Beth. ” I absolutely loved the class, we all came out with a proper piece of artwork,and a mount provided. I had been given a watercolour set for my birthday and this has given me the confidence and excitement to get it out and paint. I really recommend this for friends and family wanting to try something a bit different!!” Lauren.
