"I thought I couldn't draw. I have produced drawings that I am really proud of, and I am enthused to keep drawing. The fundamental art skills course has been a voyage of discovery, and Raya has been an excellent teacher. She is also a lovely person and I recommend her highly. Do this course!"

"Dear Rhiannon, I am so glad that my course has helped you to discover that you could draw and you had an enjoyable learning journey. Good luck with your future Art and Craft projects and look forward to seeing you at Magic Wool Art and Craft Studio in 2020! Raya"

"Fantastic courses with a wonderful tutor! I cannot recommend Raya enough. I took her Fundamental Art Course and learnt so much, taking me from pencil drawings right through to watercolour. Do not worry if you have never picked up a pencil you will learn the basics upwards. Anna"

Diana van Delzen reviewed: ‘Winter dream ' wool painting face-to-face textile art course in Worcestershire

"Two days ago I joined Raya and other participants for my first wool painting. It was a very nice introduction to working with wool fibres in this way and it quickly became an absorbing and relaxing craft. Raya is a very knowledgeable and talented tutor/artist and gave good, clear demonstrations which inspired confidence in making a lovely wool picture of our own choice. Raya also supplied a choice of picture frames. During the course Raya's hospitality provided us with delicious cakes and hot drinks and made the whole experience a pleasure and left me with plenty of creative ideas! I hope to join again for another wool painting workshop. Can thoroughly recommend it!"

Magic Wool Art and Craft Studio responded:

"Dear Diana, It was a pleasure meeting you and teaching you! I am so pleased that you enjoyed the workshop and feeling inspired to do more wool paintings! Thank you very much for your review. I look forward to seeing you again at Magic Wool Art and Craft Studio for more wool painting workshops. Kind regards. Raya"

It was a great learning journey alongside other people, who were very creative and friendly. Raya is a delightful person, very supportive and a joy to be with. I would recommend this course to any beginner. Maureen"

Rachel reviewed: Evening Watercolour 10-week art course for beginners and amateur artists

"I am currently attending the Watercolour course for complete beginners at Magic Wool Art and Craft Studio and I am enjoying it enormously. I am so lucky to have found such a great tutor, Raya Brown, who is knowledgeable, patient and helpful. She is also a very talented watercolour artist who inspires us with her work. Raya teaches us the very basics of watercolour and guides us through various techniques, materials and methods of painting. We also improve our drawing skills which help us to succeed with learning watercolour. So far I have produced a painting of poppy fields, a landscape with a sunset using wet-in -wet technique and some paintings and drawings of fruit. I am very pleased with my results. Thank you very much Raya!"

"I had a great day learning an amazing technique of painting with wool fibres! What a great therapeutic experience! I am a complete beginner and I never knew I could create such a lovely work just using coloured strands of wool. Very enjoyable process and a beautiful result. Thank you Raya !

"What a fantastic course! I feel so inspired by Raya's expert tuition. I have learnt so much within a short period of time- some watercolour techniques, how to compose the subject, how to sketch in the open air, etc. I feel a lot more confident using different materials and can create quick sketches as well as longer studies of landscapes! Thank you so much, Raya. I will be back for your watercolour course in September to advance my painting skills. Looking forward to it. Carol"

"A thoroughly enjoyable day with Raya and girls. Thank you, Raya, for your patience and clear instruction and for the lovely selection of materials you provided, which enabled us all to achieve such beautiful results. The Bevere Gallery is a good, cosy workshop venue with a great creative vibe and they serve delicious lunches too!

Tracey reviewed: Evening Watercolour 10-week art course for beginners and amateur artists

"Raya created a course which was pitched perfectly! There are always going to be students at different levels whatever the subject and setting the course to ensure they all get the tutoring, encouragement and help they need is a balancing act. Our class was a mixture of absolute beginners, some who had dabbled like myself but not had formal teaching, and some who had attended courses elsewhere previously. I think the pace was adapted with care to allow for more/less teaching on subjects dependent upon the understanding of each student, but without having a detrimental effect on any one student's progress. I believe Raya achieved the course she had planned so carefully. She ensured everyone obtained the foundation of drawing, seeing and looking and from the groundwork we can all continue. Thank you Raya!"

Teresa reviewed: ‘Winter dream ' wool painting face-to-face textile art course in Worcestershire

I really enjoyed the workshop, found it very therapeutic and relaxing. Would recommend it to anyone. What a great way to spend a weekend!"

"Raya has all the best qualities as a tutor and a person. This course has been magically put together with the skills Raya will pass onto you all coming together towards the end. You will be surprised how much you have learnt in such a short space of time. Raya's method of teaching is fun and relaxed yet structured and I have nothing but admiration for her obvious skills as an artist of many years and her warmth as a person. Many thanks Raya"

Anne reviewed: ‘Winter dream ' wool painting face-to-face textile art course in Worcestershire

"I have a great day exploring wool painting or wool watercolour technique with an excellent tutor and artist Raya Brown. I loved the therapeutic experience of handling natural fibres and laying them to create new colours and images. Guided by Raya I made a lovely wool fibre painting which is already hanging in my dinning room. I feel like I learnt so much within one-day workshop and going to make another wool painting next weekend. It is a fascinating technique and I recommend every art and craft person to attend Raya's wool painting courses."
