David Bunn reviewed: Oil painting day - In the artist's studio with Laura Andrew - Lincoln

"Many thanks for a wonderful, instructive day and delicious lunch. I hadn't painted for many years and Laura has inspired me (and hopefully my son George, who also enjoyed the experience) to make up for lost time. I always find that a blank canvas can be daunting but once this obstacle is overcome the result can be very rewarding, as indeed it was with Laura's guidance and encouragement."

"Exceptional.! Laura is an amazingly talented artist and a lovely lady. The superb surroundings of her studio and the friendly welcome and hospitality (amazing afternoon tea ... so yummy) created a feeling of comfort and calm. Through Laura's encouragement and inspiration I was able to produce a painting that genuinely surprised me. I feel I learned so much in such a short time thanks to Laura's superb teaching methods. I had the most wonderful afternoon and met some lovely people. I was absolutely buzzing and couldn't wait to thank my son and daughter for the best Xmas present - roll on my birthday ... especially as it is a big one! I hope to attend another of Laura's courses soon - just wish the journey wasn't an hour and a half - however it is definitely worth the drive!"

"I had a wonderful second visit to Laura's art studio. It's just lovely to be in her company and the art classes are truly inspiring. A relaxing, enjoyable and memorable experience in the company of lovely people. I even managed to take home lovely paintings that I didn't realise I could produce. Highly recommend these courses. Thanks again Laura ❤️"

"I attended Laura's watercolour painting day course as a complete beginner. She put myself and all of the rest of the small group of 4 others very at ease, and introduced us slowly to the wonderful world of watercolour. It was a lovely space to enjoy and lots of individual attention was given to all of us. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to other beginners who want to get an idea of how to get started with watercolour painting."

Matthew Hickman reviewed: Lino cutting course - Laura Andrew Art Studio, Lincoln - Linocut lino printing

"Slightly apprehensive attending this course as never attempted lino cutting or printing before, but keen to do something creative. Needn't have worried as Laura is an excellent teacher, and has a beautiful studio which inspires the creative spirit. Lino carving was great fun and completely relaxing and just a lovely thing to do, I will certainly be doing more of this. Produced some nice prints on a range of materials which I was pleased with, and my wife who kindly gifted me the course would like to hang one on the kitchen wall, high praise indeed! Thoroughly recommend Laura and this course to you, a wonderful day."

"My wife and I had the most lovely day on Laura's introduction to linocut course. The studio environment was peaceful and the day beautifully paced, with generous refreshments and a lovely lunch. Laura's direction was clear, thoughtful and effective. Having never made a linocut before I left feeling inspired and equipped to do many more. Thank you."

"This course was a Christmas gift and I never thought I could create anything worth taking home. Having never touched oil paints before Laura taught us how to observe and make marks with true purpose. I loved it, am immensely proud of my piece and didn’t want to leave her beautiful, tranquil studio. Thank you for 2 wonderful classes Laura, I will be back for more."

"Myself and my 13 year old daughter joined Laura for a beginners watercolor day late January . Whilst we like art we are by no means anything other than enthusiastic. The day was well planned and Laura was a very patient and enthusiastic host. We experienced a glimpse into the world of art which we really enjoyed. The days' course was a present to my daughter for her 13th birthday, it was a precious day we shall both cherish."

Amber Cross reviewed: Watercolour painting day - Floral & botanical - with artist Laura Andrew

"I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. Laura was not only friendly and encouraging in her teaching style but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. And her home proved to be such an inspiring space in which to learn. I had never painted before in my life and was pretty nervous and apprehensive as to whether I’d manage to pick it up. I needn’t have worried with Laura’s guidance I managed to create something that I was so pleased with and have subsequently framed! I’m now waiting for my own art materials to arrive so that I can continue watercolour painting at home. Thank you for introducing me to a new passion!"

Helen Clarke reviewed: Watercolour painting day - Floral & botanical - with artist Laura Andrew

"Having just completed Laura’s Floral Watercolour course I can honestly say it has changed my opinion of watercolours for life. Laura took the time to find out which style of watercolours suited us. She introduced colour mixing and brush stroke styles and we were soon beginning our first pieces. In the afternoon we each chose a different style and I completed my first watercolour I have been truly proud of. Laura was very generous with her 1-1 time and she was attentive to our needs throughout the day. The equipment and materials provided were professional grade, which gave us the best chance of succeeding. Her art space is the perfect place to learn and I have now signed up to join one of her fortnightly tutorials. Amazing to have such a talented artist and teacher on my doorstop. Thank you for an inspiring day!"

"I came from Coventry as an absolutel beginner but Laura's classes was 100% worth it. I didn't even know if I liked watercolour painting but after this amazing experience I have fallen in love!

I am already planning to book another class in the future. Honestly I can recommend to everybody!"

"I went to Laura’s Birds and Wildlife Watercolour workshop. I am a complete beginner and was a little apprehensive but I needn’t have been. Laura was very welcoming and there was no pressure, I learnt so much in the 3 hours I was there and actually came away with some artwork I was proud of! Totally inspiring, I highly recommend it."

Anthony Tacon reviewed: Lino cutting course - Laura Andrew Art Studio, Lincoln - Linocut lino printing

"I highly recommend Laura's course to anyone interested in taking up the art of lino cutting. I have read and absolutely endorse all the positive comments made in the previous reviews. As an absolute beginner I recently spent a most enjoyable day in her studio. Nice company, with an inspiring, patient and knowledgeable teacher. By the end of the day I had been shown and had followed all the processes and produced my own successful lino prints. All set to carry on with a most rewarding and relatively inexpensive hobby. What more can I add to convince anyone? Oh yes! Laura also provides excellent refreshments."

Kathy reviewed: Lino cutting course - Laura Andrew Art Studio, Lincoln - Linocut lino printing

"Put quite simply - the course was inspiring. The studio is a really tactile and happening space and Laura conveys her expertise in a very natural and engaging way. There were so many special touches to the day - to list them all would be to spoil the surprise of attending one of Laura's workshops - which I wholeheartedly recommend should anyone reading wish to experience lino cutting and printing."
