"What a fantastic course. I was interested in having a go, but looking on FB and YouTube just confused me. Attending this course made it all so simple and enjoyable, the instruction was easy to follow and fun. Thanks to Dina and her Mum (I think) for a great day, coffee and lovely cake. "

"What a great experience, Dina and her Mum who helps but is also very experienced were both super. There were 9 of us in the workshop and it was a perfect number. Very good at explaining and helping - great when asking for advice and very hospitable when it came to tea and cakes - fabulous. I actually can't believe that I could produce something so lovely the first time I tried it... I will definitely sign up again - it's kind of addictive!"

"What an enjoyable afternoon ! It was a new style of art to me, very exciting because the effects were unpredictable. The three of us made pleasing canvasses I think. Thanks,Claire."

Sarah reviewed: Paper marbling with tea & cake

"Wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon! Excellent set up and tutoring with all materials provided and lovely tea and home made cake. I learned a lot and created over 20 sheets of marbled paper ( and some fabric) that - with Dina and her mum’s expertise - was actually very easy. I could have carried on for several hours more! It is messy though so heed the warning about wearing something you don’t mind getting splashes of paint on. "

Trish Hall reviewed: Paint pouring with tea & cake

"Absolutely loved this course. Can’t stop telling everyone about it. It’s such an exciting way to create paintings. I love abstract art but have previously failed to produce anything even vaguely decent but this was another level. Tuition, venue, resources and the coffee were all great! I’d watched lots of acrylic pouring videos on line but they all failed to tell me what to actually do, resources to use, how to mix paint for pouring etc etc. Dina showed us three different methods, all of which were really easy with her very clear instruction. Highly recommend everyone to try this course. I came away buzzing!"

"We had a great afternoon on this paint pouring course! Dina and Marianne were wonderfully helpful and patient and we managed to produce three canvases that we we're really pleased with. It really was great fun and very satisfying - I heartily recommend it! (In fact, I want go back and have a go with different colours!)"

Pauline and Katie-May reviewed: Paint pouring with tea & cake

"My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our time paint pouring with Dina and her lovely mum. They both made everyone feel welcome and relaxed, and we would definitely go again. The studio was spacious and well lit, and Dina's demonstrations were easy to follow. Both Dina and her mum were on hand to help us to create 3 colourful, unique canvases. We both found the process fun and satisfying and we can't wait to receive our work once it has dried. The refreshments on offer during a short break were wonderful. If you book the course you have to try the cake made by Dinas mum, simply delicious. We would definitely recommend this course to everyone."

Steve Bellerby reviewed: Paint pouring with tea & cake

"We had an amazing afternoon, 4 of us having our first go at pour painting. It was really relaxed, gave enough tuition and confidence to get going and then help with whatever method we wanted to try. The whole experience was friendly and fun but with a real core of professionalism. We were really pleased with our efforts and our fine art student niece has already been showing what she learned to her fellow students. This was awesome and if you're wondering about whether to give it a go, just get yourself booked on a workshop with Dina."

"Fantastic afternoon with the friendly and informative Dina. The group were great and chatted when we didn’t need to concentrate. A gift from my lovely sister in law I can highly recommend for anyone - you don’t need skills. Tea and cake helped us maintain our focus 😂"

"Did the workshop on my own after a recommendation from a friend! Dina and her mum were fabulous teachers. Very patient and informative. Amazing to see all the different results obtained with the different techniques taught. The tea break was lovely and gave us all a chances to relax with fellow “painters”. Will definitely do another workshop next year ! "
