I went with my bestie. We are both from South Africa working in London. I loved this so much and I love how the instructors allow you to just do your thing but are there to guide you throughout. It was so therapeutic. I could do it again. I recommend this 1000000%

Great time at the studio :) had fun painting with my girl friends, we had a blast. This reignites my long-forgotten activity that i enjoyed and took me back to my childhood. REally great for stress therapy. Be great if you're able to provide hot drinks as well, i dont think it was a choice that was available on the day.

Great experience! A fantastic way to try your hand at painting even if like us you have not painted since school. Rochelle is a great teacher and made us feel very relaxed. Very pleased with our artwork.

The perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. From the friendly welcome to the inviting setting and not forgetting the fun of painting itself, I enjoyed every moment.

A lovely opportunity to spend an hour and a half creating art in a beautiful location. Sooo valuable for mental health.

I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s afternoon session as I was nervous because I can’t paint. Shehana (I hope I’ve got the name right) was soo helpful, patient and supportive. I’m definitely coming back for more sessions.

Relaxed painting class in a sunny backyard - I felt very covid-safe with the class being outdoors, all materials made safe and easy to use and drinks and brownies made a nice addition. Really loved this secret spot for some calm in the crazy pandemic world

LOVED this al fresco class! All of the art materials are so beautiful and easy to use. Having a professional artist there to help you along the way makes you feel so much more in control! Can't wait to come back!

MasterPeace's al fresco classes are such an amazing opportunity to get together with friends and family and just relax! Absolutely loved painting in the beautiful courtyard and the Prosecco bubbles helped my creative side let loose! Thank you MasterPeace <3
Marie Potter - 28 April 2021
My boyfriend booked for the two of us to do a Mindful Art Class for 2 as a birthday treat and I couldn't think of a better place to go. The studio is friendly, welcoming and so relaxing from the moment you walk in. You could be anywhere in the world and forget that you are actually in London. We had a lovely afternoon relaxing, painting and drinking prosecco and hope to come back to finish off our paintings! I 100% recommend spending at least one session here. I have been recommending it to all of my family and friends too!
Leanne Nevins - 28 April 2021
What a wonderful place. Lovely staff, great teacher, pretty venue! Such a wonderful concept. Time spent getting lost in your own thoughts, in a calming environment whilst painting a personal image. Will definitely be back :-)
Victoria Macdonald - 28 April 2021
My friends and I enjoyed the most wonderful evening due to the impeccable service by our Masterpeace host. Our painting experience was fun but focussed, graciously supporting our creative efforts with consummate kindness and insight.

We had a great painting session with Zena today, it was excellent fun and even the no-hopers in our group came away with wall-worthy paintings! Zena was an excellent teacher and put us all at ease. Will definitely be back for more.
