Paint and (Fruit) Punch: I HeART Mommy!
Great class! It was my parents and I and we all enjoyed and had a great time. Mr. V. Was very nice as well. -
Figure Atelier
Due to a technical glitch, too many turned up for the first day and, even after, it is a busy class but the teaching is brilliant. Aimed exactly at each individual's requirements. Choose this class if you have some knowledge, this isn't for absolute beginners but I felt it really advanced my technique and knowledge. -
Intimate Narrative
Michelle is an incredible teacher. She pitched it just right with every student and added extra interest with art history during the breaks. I enjoyed every moment and learnt so much.
