My art class with Georgie was so much fun! I'm not at all artistic, but Georgie is amazing at putting everyone at ease and I came away feeling uplifted and creative. A lovely way to spend a morning. Thanks Georgie!

This was a very relaxing and rewarding painting session. Anyone who hasn’t painted before will really enjoy this, as it’s very straightforward and simple to achieve some great results. We were lucky enough to have a small and intimate class and our tutor was incredible; very patient and very helpful. The location was easy to find and comfortable, all meaning we had a very enjoyable experience. I’m sure we will be back.

Loved the whole thing. I’ve never done anything like this before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly suprised. The teacher was lovely, friendly and informative but not overbearing but guiding and helpful. I would definately like to do more classes like this.

My girls aged 8 and 11 joined one of Georgie Mason's painting classes this week. They had a wonderful time learning about painting techniques and how to include a range of texture into their artwork. They had so much fun during the 2 hour session and each produced 2 brilliant canvases to bring home. Georgie was very kind and patient and my girls were absolutely delighted by the whole experience. I highly recommend her classes.

I attended the Oil painting class with Ava. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would repeat classes with her. It’s a great class to get you started. I took with me some practical skills and more inspiration to continue exploring oil painting. Ava is very nice, patient, and supportive. She takes time to guide you through your creativity and encourages you to push your boundaries. I highly recommend Ava and her course.

Sophie is an excellent teacher and incredibly knowledgeable. She provides support and guidance but also enables her students to pursue their own ideas and follow their own instincts. My class was a gift from a friend and I would fully recommend it to anyone - and may even gift it to someone else in the future!

I came to Nicks class without picking up a paint brush since I was a child, 7 weeks on and the progress I have made is more than I could have ever imagined. Its an absolute pleasure attending the Saturday class, I learn more each week, meet new people and get all the help and experience from Nick Malone. Fantastic Art Class. Highly recommended.
