Had a really enjoyable art class using oils and acrylics to create a choice of my own artwork, and Katya was very patient and gave support which was great. The lunch and wine was a great addition to the class too. Will definitely go again!!!!
vaneetaKatya was over an hour late for the class. Location was very cramped. Lunch provided was a supermarket meal deal. Class itself was fine. After the class, Katya offered to post our paintings (as we were concerned about travelling on the train with them, as we had travelled a long distance) which we accepted. I text her our address and offered to pay postage but she has since continuously ignored texts. Only answered calls when called from withheld number, then lied saying it has been posted when it clearly has not been, provided no proof of postage. It is now over 4 months later and we do not have the paintings we spent 5 hours working on. Definitely would not recommend this experience, appalling service and communication. Nothing to show for the money we spent.
Beth nullI have previously booked a class for two as a gift for my partner. HOWEVER she kept texting me to move. Which was fine. I waited a month. She then again proceed to ask me of I wanted to move the date again or an refund. Which I ended up asking for an refund. As my dates are no longer free. She has been making up excuses saying that she has contacted obby and will refund me! This has been over months. And she still has NOT refunded me and now has stopped responding to my message. She is an absolutly an SCAM! Obby has not have any confirmation from her end either. I was nice and patience but this is absolutely unacceptable! I paid £ 100 for a class thinking this will be a lovey day out but turned into an SCAM
Wexcellent session, calm and focussed. as a complete beginner i learnt a great deal in a short time. worth the effort.
jacquiehad a lovely time and love the result
AMy daughter organised a one day portrait workshop with Katya for my birthday. It was my first time working with oils or doing a portrait. Katya put me at my ease and quickly got me down to work. She helped me get underway and explained techniques for working with oils. She gave me space to work at my own pace, gave constructive and positive feedback and helped me when I got stuck. By the end of the day I had a workable portrait to take home. It was intense, hugely enjoyable. and has given me confidence to work on my own. Katya is a great teacher !!
PatriciaA lovely day. I felt I learned something and I was pleased with my first attempt at an oil-based portrait. I really hope to do further lessons with Katya. Katya is friendly and accommodating.
LucyIt was absolutely amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learnt more about painting in general. Katya(the artist) was amazing, she gave us useful helpful tips throughout and was also so friendly. I highly recommend others to give this a go, it’s worth the money . You won’t be disappointed:)
BhavikaReally enjoyed my class. Never painted before but had a great day and learnt a lot. Finished the day with a piece of work to take home was a nice surprise. Great value for money
Michael O’BrienEnjoyed the class a lot. As I am a complete beginner in drawing I would have liked to been taught a little more on this but I may have just booked myself the wrong class! Overall lovely art teacher :)
Kirsty ConyardGreat workshop, learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Good mix of instruction, tips and guidance and plenty of time to give it all a try.
BethAbsolutely fantastic experience ! Katerina is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly art teacher . I am an absolute beginner and I have created something that I never believed I could achieve. Fantastic class to relax and learn something new . Lunch was great and guidance and support I received was fantastic. Highly recommend this class , I will definitely be back
Sofia MayI've dabbled with painting over the years but have never really understood any techniques and I wanted to learn how to prepare a canvas, what brushes and paint to use and anything else technical that might help me. I learnt so much from Katya, everything I wanted to know and then quite a bit more. I left feeling really bouyed, more confident and wanting more. I highly recommend Katya as a teacher, a generous host (she gave me a lovely lunch and a glass of wine) and a lovely person. You will leave inspired!
Anita MoirKatya is an excellent teacher and I enjoyed the class held in a nice peaceful environment and was given the help and advice I was looking for. Also a good lunch and a very generous helping of vino !
Tim MaskellAttended Katya’s art lesson which included lunch on Friday. My friend and I found Katya very friendly, helpful and generous with her time and advice and tips. We were able to have one to one tuition which was very informative and helpful. We both had fun and both came away surprised that we were able to create and produce a finished painting. Katya caters to all levels. We were beginners and learnt a lot. We would recommend this course to anyone thinking of taking that first step into painting plus you will have fun too.
HillarineKatya cancelled the art class as she was ill and I have still not been issued a refund, as agreed. It has now been over a month and I am still yet to receive my refund. Katya is now not replying to my messages.
LivTeacher wasn't at the venue when I got there. After checking. she had forgotten to check her schedule! Not good. :-(
RubanWhere to start? My class got cancelled despite the site stating '8 spaces' left. I contacted Katya who so kindly allowed me to still take part in the class as my friends had already booked. Upon arriving, I was taken aback by how small the studio was and unsure exactly how it would fit 5 people let alone 12! The studio was small, cluttered and lacking in ventilation which is not great on a hot Summer's day, let me tell you. I got over my initial shock as the lady seemed nice enough. We were offered a drink and snacks, which were dished out in what appeared to be the most unhygienic matter. I worried for my health which was a necessary worry but that's another story. At the end of the class, she asked me to pay again as the first attempt was cancelled. I was skeptical. A week later, still no refund. I tried to contact her a few times. No response. The cons outweigh the pros by far. I would never return.
JoyetteVery nice and relaxed atmosphere, great way to spend an evening
AnonymousKatya is an amazing teacher! We enjoyed a fantastic session with her at Wimbledon Art Studios for my birthday. She took two complete newbies to art on a fantastic journey over the course of a few hours. I can’t believe that we left the session with a lovely painting in oil each.
HogarthKatya was very welcoming, a good class for a beginner like me. She gave me lots of good advise about how to start off as a novice. Her instructions where pitched at a level I could understand and I ended up with a nice painting. Very good value for money. Thank you katya
PaulaHad an enjoyable experience using oils and acrylics to create a piece of my choosing. Katya was very nice and gave support. Would go again.
AntigoneKatya was really nice and the class was fun! We learned some technics to paint with acrylics and oil! Nice length of class and she also prepare us lunch and offer some wine :) totally recommend both if you're a beginner or just trying to perfection your painting skills!
