Phil Dickinson reviewed: Beekeeping Experience Day

"I took a one-day beekeeping course with John and Sue on the 23rd of April 2022. There were six 'students'. The course was a mixture of classroom and practical. It was fascinating and informative in equal measure. It was a thrill to smoke the bees and inspect several hives very closely. It all felt very measured and safe under John's careful tutelage. Refreshments and a tasty lunch were provided. I recommend this course."

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Hello Phil, it was great having you on the course and thank you for your contribution. If you need any help or guidance with bees please do just ask. With best wishes, Sue and John"

Jenny reviewed: 2 day jewellery/silversmithing course - all materials provided

"A really enjoyable two day course. We are two lovely copper and silver pendants. Sue was a great teacher who encouraged us to learn by doing but at the same time was always there to help when we needed . We learnt skills such as sawing, filing, soldering and polishing. The first day we learnt these techniques and the second day we worked on our designs. It went at an enjoyable pace and we were not rushed. I recommend 10/10"

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Hi Jenny, thank you for the lovely words. It was a great weekend and all three of you did a wonderful job. Good students - gold star! Look forward to seeing you again one day. Best wishes, Sue"

Jane Scott reviewed: One day beginners painting course with Sue O'Mara Art - all materials provided

"My daughter in law and myself recently attended this one day art course. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Sue is an amazing teacher and confidence booster! Everything about our day was first class from the techniques that were so clearly explained to our coming away with paintings that whilst the subject matter was the same, showed our quite different personalities! In addition the lunch was super and the home made biscuits with coffee went down a treat!"

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Hi Jane, it was lovely to have you both for the day, such a lot of giggles! So glad you enjoyed the day. Hope to see you again soon. Best wishes, Sue"

Adam Rakich reviewed: 2 day jewellery/silversmithing course - all materials provided

"I highly recommend Sue’s two day jewellery course, which was brilliant. You learn sawing, filing, pickling, embossing, burnishing, reticulating, soldering and hammering to name a few, but it all feels very relaxed and not hectic at all. I learnt so much in two days. Sue is lovely and really knows her stuff, instructing you really well on to achieve the best results while giving you the space to unleash your own creativity. I’m so happy with the pendant I created, no one I’ve shown it to believes I made it by myself, but Sue made sure I did! Thanks so much, Claire"

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Hi Claire, thank you for the lovely words. You did well and the pendant is brilliant. So is the mad machine triangle piece! If you fancy a casting day let me know and I will fit you in. Take care and see you soon. Sue"

"I recently attended the 2 day course and had a fantastic time. I learnt so much. Sue is an incredible teacher whose knowledge and expertise really inspired me.

Marielle reviewed: One day beginners painting course with Sue O'Mara Art - all materials provided

"I attended Sue's one day oil painting course, I had a very nice day. The studio is set in lovely surroundings of woodland, and it is very tranquil. I had never really tried oil painting before and am completely new to this type of media. Sue is an excellent teacher, she's very patient and guides you step by step, she will go over something until you have got it. I found the whole experience a very enjoyable and a very encouraging day. Sue taught me everything from what materials and media to use to create the painting and showed me the techniques needed to use the brushes correctly. With Sue's guidance and support I was very surprised as to how I was able to create the painting. I was well chuffed with myself, with what I have achieved, thank you Sue. I would definitely recommend Sue's course to anyone at any level, try it and see what you think."

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Thank you for the kind words Marielle, you created a lovely painting so well done! It was great to have you in the Studio and hope to see you again another time, or maybe even in Spain! Best wishes, Sue"

Really pleased with the level of teaching Sue was able to offer me in a relaxed and friendly environment. Delighted with the finished product; piece of jewellery I'm really going to treasure.

Geraldine Ormonde reviewed: Beekeeping Experience Day

"I was lucky enough to be bought a one day, introduction to painting in oils with Sue. Firstly, directions were great and she was easy to find. A warm welcome was then followed by a wonderful day immersed in the application of oils, mixing colours, applying to canvas using the right brushes and all delivered in an easy going, encouraging manner. I learnt so much in just one day and came home with a completed painting, my first in oils. She is an excellent teacher, an inspiration to all new aspiring artists. Highly recommended, the perfect introduction and I shall be returning for more!"

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Hi Geraldine, thank you for the lovely comments. I look forward to seeing you again soon!!. Sue"

Judy Hilton reviewed: Beekeeping Experience Day

"The bee keeping course was fantastic. Some really informative talks and so much information I feel slightly daunted but really understand what would be involved and how to get help when starting to keep bees. The practical session all dressed up in our beesuits was particularly good. The weather was poor so the bees were very agitated when we went through some hives. We were still able to have a go at lifting out and examining the frames which was a great confidence boost when the bees were not in the best of moods. I would recommend this course to anyone Absolutely brilliant. Judy"

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Well done both of you! As you say not the best bee inspection day so it was good you all got to see the bees at work. Many thanks for the kind words. Sue and John"

Lynn Rose reviewed: Beekeeping Experience Day

"If you are interested in learning about bees and how to keep them, you wouldn’t find a better person than John to be with. My day was so informative and being able to get suited up to get up close and personal with the bees was magic. All of this took place in such a lovely setting and with a big thank you to Sue for providing a warm welcome and lovely lunch."

Sue O'Mara Art responded:

"Thank you Lynn, we are glad you found it informative and helpful. Best wishes, John and Sue"
