Lucy reviewed: Flower Power - Exploring Colour

"I have had my eye on the workshops at the barn after passing the location a while ago on a beautiful country walk and then seeing some of Allison's work on an PetersfieldArts group on Insta. The location is wonderful, right out in the beautiful rolling countryside and the barn is simply perfect. It's such a wonderfully inspiring venue. I loved this drawing, painting and mono-print course. I really needed something totally absorbing to lift me out of myself and I loves exploring the different techniques through the course of the day. The materials provided were brilliant!! Alison and Liz are a super duo, I would love to learn more and more from them. Their manner is so warm and welcoming and they clearly have experience of running courses catering for a range of abilities. I would highly recommend this course, this location and Alison and Liz's expert tuition. I'm looking forward to the next course I can attend. "

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Dear Lucy, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your day with us. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the day so much and were so inspired by what you learnt . You produced some great works using the different techniques and I hope that this has given you the confidence to explore these techniques at home. We look forward to seeing you again at the barn ! Best wishes Alison"

Julie Mackenzie reviewed: Half day mosaic workshops with Laura Barnes.

"Three of us attended a half-day course in mosaics with Laura. None of us had any previous experience, but we arrived with enthusiasm and a few ideas on what animal we wanted to attempt. We were made very welcome by Laura and shown what to do in a friendly and informal environment. Laura shared her skills, and the experience was really enjoyable. We were absolutely thrilled with our final efforts which we took home and hung in our gardens. I thoroughly recommend this craft session to anyone who enjoys a new artistic challenge. "

Laura Barnes Crafty Fox Studios responded:

"Hi Julie, thanks so much for your review! I love to share my knowledge with people and you all made beautiful mosaic work. I hope the mosaics enhance your garden throughout the year. Lovely to hear back from you. Laura.."
