Victoria Park
“Such a good fun and relaxing class today Helen. So good to try some new things again that take us a little bit out of our comfort zone. It’s great to try some new techniques and you build a confidence in us to incorporate these into our work when we’re going solo.”
Anne Jones
"Many thanks Helen for your excellent art lessons. I feel I've really made progress through your thorough instructions. We've used very varied skills and ideas. The atmosphere of the classes are supportive and relaxed. They work well on Zoom with a camera able to show the details of the technique we are using. Looking forward to the next lot of classes.
