Loom Weaving Workshop What a great afternoon! Really enjoyed this class. Great teacher, great location, everything supplied, and it was fun to get creative and learn something new. I was so inspired I went home and tried out a bunch of other ideas and materials.AI-Lin Lee • Mar 2022
Watercolour Painting Workshop
Enjoyed a wonderful watercolour class today. Still buzzing from all the new techniques I learnt from our teacher Heather and going well outside my comfort zone. The class was well structured with Heather gauging our interest and experience to tailor the class to us and keeping time so we could complete our painting without rush. The studio is in such a good location for a relaxing ferry ride from CQ and walk from Balmain ferry stop. Enjoyed coffee and bites at the cute cafes nearby. Highly recommend! Looking forward to Heather running another class again soon,
