“Attending this workshop was a lovely way of freeing up my creativity. It allows one to experiment with colour and to watch with fascination what happens when one adds one colour ink to another or places a drop of alcohol into the mix. Such a relief for me as there is no drawing involved. 
Ashley provides a calm, organised yet informal environment in which to learn a new artistic technique. She is generous with her resources too, there being oodles of different coloured inks to play with. It was most enjoyable and relaxing.
I am already booked on one of her other workshops!” –

Ashley is extremely patient with all her creative budding newbie artists  – Ashley provides all the paints, inks, card,papers etc to enable each person the ability to take home their own masterpiece.

Today we learnt Alcohol Painting/inks – all I can say is WOW – each of us created some beautiful works and no two looked alike.  The way the alcohol merged and split the paints to become different sizes and shapes on the paper. 

I can’t wait to get started on some more ideas.

Thank you to Ashley for bringing us all together. – Ive made some new friends and the morning flew by.   Here is to our next class.

Extra bonus – I was stopped by a lady in the high street to ask if I had just painted what was blowing around in my hand as I tried to get it to the car.   She told me they were beautiful & I urged her to come see you in the Green Rooms for more info.” –

I attended the alcohol painting class and absolutely loved it. Ashley is an experienced teacher and instantly had us at ease. I’d never done anything like this before but found it so relaxing and enjoyable- can’t wait to book my next class –

Wow. Did a flower arranging course with Ashley yesterday and came out feeling enriched, a million dollars and proud of my efforts. Ashley is an excellent teacher, both clear,  simple and patient in her approach. She made us feel like we could make any bunch of flowers into a pretty posie or a posh looking table decoration with a few simple steps and a bit of time. Thanks for helping us to believe in our own creative potential!

Ashley had the knowledge and expertise to preserve roses from my late mother’s funeral arrangement. She thoroughly explained the process needed to enable her to do this. The result is she has managed us to be able to keep these precious flowers for the future. Thank you so much. 🌷
