Hilary Ritchie reviewed: Acrylic Painting Class

"I had given up painting for many years when I first joined this group. It has totally reignited my love of art. It is a lovely friendly, supportive and creative atmosphere and the small groups allow for plenty of individual advice and help. We have been able to learn new techniques and apply them to our own individual styles and preferred topics. Josie is a very good and patient teacher and the location is just stunning. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone - starter, progressor or more experienced. I choose to paint, but there are so many other creative forms of art on offer too."

Clare W reviewed: Lino Print, Multi Layer/Reduction Print Making Day

"Had a fabulous day at this studio with Josie. She was both accommodating and also encouraged me to stretch myself, very supportive (and an great teacher) and I left with some cracking multi-coloured prints which was a step up from what I’ve done with Lino before. Lovely lunch (soup / rolls and cake) and cuppas / biscuits throughout the day. Plenty of parking right next to the studio. Thank you Josie - I wholeheartedly recommend!"

Class Creative Studios responded:

"Dear Clare, so very lovely to meet you - your work was fabulous! Looking forward to the next sessions come the Autumn and thank you so much for your glowing review :)"

Juliet Wareham reviewed: Lino Print, Multi Layer/Reduction Print Making Day

"What a great way to spend a Sunday! The studio itself was amazing; masses of room, lots of equipment, but best of all, floor to ceiling windows looking over the glorious Dorset countryside! Josie was a wonderful tutor; very friendly and laid back - almost like a friend chatting away to us ( and providing us with lunch!). It wasn’t until I got home that I realised how much Josie had taught me. I loved every minute of the course."

Class Creative Studios responded:

"It was a pleasure to welcome you Juliet, thank you kindly for the lovely review and we hope to see you again in the near future for another creative session!"
