I loved Paint like Pollock. Pollock wouldn't be one of my favourite artist's but after this class and using his method i now have a greater understanding of him. The instructor, Shehana, is excellent. Encouraging and fun. She makes sure you really let go and enjoy the different techniques. I love my Pollock canvases :-)

What an amazing event - so much fun and really informative. Learnt loads that I didn't know and what a great event for our team.

Our team had the best experience in this class. Learning about Pollock and his styles and techniques was super interesting, and even more so when we got to give it a go. We were able to practice on small canvases, and experiment (including some fun group exercises!) to learn what style we liked the best. This means our final piece came out so well, and we were all really pleased (and impressed!) with our finished pieces - and happily covered in paint! Would highly recommend as a fun activity with friends, colleagues or even solo!

This class was a really fun way to experiment with abstract art and learn more about Jackson Pollock! Exploring abstract art meant that I could relieve the pressure of creating something perfect and instead enjoy being creative. The tutors were incredibly friendly and supportive and the studio space was beautiful and inspiring with a really welcoming atmosphere! I definitely plan on booking another class soon!

This class was so much fun! We learned a lot about Pollock and our teacher, Zena, was brilliant at demonstrating his different techniques!

What a great class! As a 'grown up' one very rarely gets a chance to get very messy and fling paint at the canvas. I will probably do it again.
