Feedback:

The workshop has been fantastic – I really enjoyed it and wouldn’t normally have had the confidence to do something like this as I would assume everyone else was so much more proficient than me.  In actual fact, it didn’t matter what previous experience you had, as Rachael made us all feel comfortable and able to just “go for it” and enjoy the experience.  A very relaxed environment and a great teacher.

I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  I had not done any art in 35 years, since I was 14.   This has really encouraged me to give it a go.  I’m not afraid to try something new now.  It’s taught me there’s no right or wrong and we’ve all got something to give.  Rachael is a really encouraging and inspiring teacher.
