This was an excellent class. I had heard of zines but never tried to make one before. I can't wait to make more!
I had such an enjoyable time during my art session with Sarah in Portugal. It was the first time in a very long while that I had drawn anything and Sarah made me feel comfortable about doing so and asked questions to really make us think about what we were looking at and what we wanted to achieve with our creations.
The time passed so quickly and I found it so relaxing and enlightening, so nice to switch off from technology and the busyness of life and take time to really look at things. I would definitely recommend a session with Sarah.
Thank you Sarah for a lovely morning spent in Portugal creating some artwork. I haven’t really painted a picture since school but Sarah was so encouraging and positive and guided me gently into creating something I was really pleased with. For me the real positive was how much I enjoyed the time doing it - I felt so relaxed and happy and didn’t think about anything other than the task at hand for a couple of hours !
Sarah was amazing - the 121 session blew me away. I was totally absorbed from the time we met to the end of the session and, with Sarah’s encouragement, I stepped out of my comfort zone and embraced different art & creativity. It was mindfulness in its truest and most natural sense!
I would 100% recommend this to anyone.
Wonderful session conducted in Portugal. Sarah was a brilliant teacher; so encouraging and made me feel so comfortable (art is not my strongest suit). So happy with the results of what I produced and the relaxation it brought. Would definitely recommend
My art one to one involved paper folding using handmade papers to create my own 8-page book. I was then encouraged to recall a family event in my life and asked to explore why this memory remained significant - what senses were ignited during this memory: sounds, smells, textures etc. I filled the first pages with drawings inspired by this memory. I was then asked to detail the journey to that place in my memory, creating an adventurous map that filled more pages of my book. My book ended with a letter written to myself, promising to reconnect with family which was something niggling at me under the surface. There was no criticism of my style or ability, Sarah explores the personal story not the skill or method. She spent the whole time making something too so that the focus was never solely on me, but on what we could agree on together. What a wonderful experience and a truly unique piece of art as a result!

I really enjoyed this workshop with Sarah. I went in with an idea in mind, but was totally surprised with the end results. Sarah's helpful prompting and guidance inspired me to do something totally different and I'm all the more happy for it. I'm not the best artist, but the creation of the Zine is what is most important here, and despite being in a room full of other students, I could zone out to my own wonderful creative space. Highly recommended :)
It was a brilliant workshop. I'm the least artsy person you can imagine and yet thoroughly enjoyed my time. Both me and my wife attended, the format worked really well and it's something wholesome and different to do as a couple activity.
A lovely introduction that takes you through three different ways to create a zine. Good progression from beginners to more advanced. Really lovely to revisit a special memory and weave it into a zine. A great keep sake. Thank you
I did this workshop online during lockdown. Sarah made every step totally clear, which was needed as I have never made a booklet out of folding before. She showed a lovely example and inspired us to think of our own content rather than copying hers. We were free to write, draw or anything on the pages to illustrate our feelings and I am left with a lovely zine and ideas for making more.
I took this workshop as a beginner and I really think Zines are great! I think it is because the page is so small that there isn't the pressure to fill the whole page with excellent writing or drawing, you can be more free. Sarah is very relaxed and encouraging and I found the whole workshop fun.
This was an excellent class. I had heard of zines but never tried to make one before. I can't wait to make more!
