"Such a lovely inspiring, creative and rewarding day with Jane. I was made to feel so welcome and given amazing guidance and encouragement to re boost my creative side.

Thank you again Jane for a really wonderful well needed creative day. "

Dee Troughton reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"Such a warm welcome and an opportunity to have fun and play with my creativity. Jane is an inspiration not just for her original art works around the walls of the converted barn but her insight in to connecting with our inner child and being relaxed to try. I came away with three pieces, one which Jane framed for me so I can share my creation with friends and family on my own wall. It's not just a collage workshop, it's an art therapy session too..."

Jen Jepson reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"I thoroughly enjoyed Jane’s creative collage workshop. I’d let my creative activities slip and was a little anxious about getting back into the swing of things, but I needn’t have worried! Right from the start, Jane’s friendly approach created a can-do attitude, encouraging us to enjoy the playful process, rather than concern for any outcome. It was great fun collaging in the relaxed atmosphere of Jane’s beautiful home, with plenty of art supplies and paper materials on hand. And enjoying a delicious cream tea in her summer garden was simply the ‘icing on the cake.’ Highly recommended! "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thanks so much Jen. It was great to watch you making the most of every activity and to witness your exciting work appear. All the best with your art journey. "

Jane is a lovely person and very welcoming. You are guaranteed a great day!"

Jacqueline reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"The whole session was based on "letting go" and " having fun". I have never done collage before, so Jane started at the beginning, building confidence as we went along. I came away with a framed piece of my own artwork. Thank you Jane, for your patience and perfect tuition."

"It really was a joy to see you gaining confidence through the day Jacqueline and producing some delightful pieces of work. ....strong and full of creative energy. "

Alison Stattersfield reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"We had a super day with Jane. I have tried collage on my own by following some "rules", but Jane really encouraged us to play and experiment and, as a result, I felt like I was actually producing some art! Jane was very perceptive and encouraging, and tailored the experience to our interests. I came away buzzing with ideas and keen to do more."

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"I'm delighted Alison. It was so exciting for me too hearing about your project. I can see collage would work so well and free up even more creativity in you.....Go for it"

Gill Waldock reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"Although done virtually, this was a fun, relaxed evening and great for anyone who enjoys art and craft at any level. There is no pressure and lots of encouragement. Even though I hadnt had any experience in this type of activity I surprised myself with what I achieved"

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thanks Gill. I'm so pleased you didn't feel under any pressure. That's definitely my aim as none of us thrive that way. And being surprised by what we create is so exciting isn't it. "

Ruth Clement reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

Hilary reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"What a fun and engaging session! Jane has such a talent for making creativity accessible to all. She’s so encouraging. You don’t have to think you’re very creative to do this and have a lot of fun. With Jane it’s all about enjoying the process, and everyone in the session dived in and made something. I hugely enjoyed it and it’s inspired me to continue with collage art since. Highly recommended. "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thanks Hilary. As an artist and creative yourself its great to hear that you found it useful and fun. "

Kay Jamieson reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"This creative session with Jane took place online, during Covid. After so many months of feeling isolated it was wonderful to join together with others to be creative. Although we were all dotted around the world, Jane. had a wonderful way of bringing us all together to share, and making us feel 'safe' to express our own unique and distinct creativity in the session. I felt a little anxious beforehand as I hadn't been creative with art for many decades, but Jane talked us all through then steps and gave us a perfect balance of 'instruction' alongside freedom for self expression. The time passed so quickly, and I was surprised to see what emerged on the paper, which gave me joy! I realised afterwards that I hadn't thought about anything else for several hours, as I had been totally absorbed in playful expression, allowing my subconscious self to be my 'guide'. Highly enjoyable and also therapeutic, learning to trust the side of me that I can't always plan and control! Thanks, Jane. Kay "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thanks Kay., great to hear the session had such a positive benefit for you. It was super to see you relaxing into the activities and watch both you and your son producing such expressive and unique artwork. "

Alexandra Helm reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"I really loved the time with Jane in her beautiful countryside home. My friend and I enjoyed warmth, encouragement and amazing homemade scones! I became really involved playing with different media and combining the created with the found. There was a clear framework to each task which enabled open thinking and experimentation. The afternoon flew by. "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Ally...I still remember your ability to dive into rich experimenting with such energy. It really inspired me. And it's been so exviting to see your own art practice go from strength to strength. Enjoy the journey !"

Yvonne Innes reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"One of Jane’s Collage and Cream Tea sessions was my birthday present to myself. I was already a fan of Jane’s work but I had been personally stuck creatively for a long while, so I walked in under a bit of a cloud. Two and a half hours later I came out totally at ease and happy to have met such an inspiring person whose infectious warmth and enthusiasm plus a huge array of materials to use enabled me to start thinking creatively again. If her aim is to make you feel good about your work and about yourself she succeeds like nothing else could. "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"It was a joy to see how you embraced the whole experience Yvonne and let yourself fall in to your natural creativity. "

Gillian Crossley-Holland reviewed: Rebooting Your Creativity - a mixed media experience in Suffolk

"''If you've always wanted to be an artist but lack the courage to jump in and get started or if you've started and are always overcome by doubts, Jane is the perfect person to set you on your way. Not only can Jane sympathise, she possesses the utmost conviction that takes you beyond your doubts and enables you to create the images you want and, of most importance, to have fun while creating your own work.'' "

Jane Beaumont Art responded:

"Thank you so much Gillian. It was wonderful having an experienced artist like yourself in the workshop. Your collaged sea scape inspired me "
