"I recently had the joy of attending a half-day art class with Kate at her beautiful studio, it was such a nourishing experience. We worked with different pencils, brushes and paints. As someone who doesn’t paint often, I felt completely at ease and inspired. Kate creates an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming, and gently encouraging. A space where everyone’s creativity feels valued.
The class was so well-paced, with plenty of time to play, experiment, and have fun with colours and brushstrokes. I came away feeling both calm and alive, and so grateful to have spent this time reconnecting with my creative self.
If you’re looking for a class that feels spacious, supportive, and truly uplifting, I can’t recommend it enough."

"Thats wonderful Shab, I'm so glad you had such an enriching experience. You made some fabulous drawings - it was a very rewarding session for me too!"
"Kate is an exceptional artist and an excellent teacher. She lets you work at your own pace and really encourages you to ‘find yourself and your style’. At some points in my two day workshop I found myself quite emotional at the things Kate let me find out about myself."
Coach House Studio responded:
"That's lovely Nic, thank you. I'm so glad you found the workshop helpful - hopefully you will continue to develop your artwork. Best wishes, Kate"
"I thoroughly enjoyed the full-day Composition course with Kate, spending it working in her wonderful and spacious barn studio, surrounded by her colourful collages and paintings, which are hung around the walls, giving inspiration! Kate is an excellent teacher and extremely knowledgeable, and illustrated her teaching with books from her wonderful library in the Coach House. During the workshop, I learnt about colour-mixing and mark-making and by the end of the afternoon, had created several collages. I’m a coeliac, and Kate had gone to the trouble of making some gluten-free cakes for our mid-morning break and a delicious soup for lunch, which we ate in her charming farmhouse kitchen. It was a great day, and I would definitely recommend taking this course. "
Coach House Studio responded:
"It was a pleasure to spend the day with you, sharing my favourite painting techniques! I'm very glad that you returned for more, after the colour mixing class. Just the sort of validation needed at this difficult time of year - your enthusiasm has inspired me as well! So thank you 😉
"
"I really enjoyed the half-day colour-mixing course with Kate in her wonderful barn studio. Kate is an inspiring and informed teacher, and it was fun to paint a colour wheel with its primary colours, different hues and their complementaries, and interesting to learn about the many different tones and contrasts in colour-mixing.
I would recommend this enlightening course to anyone who is interested in colour."
Coach House Studio responded:
"Thank you Jacqi 😊 it was delightful to meet you properly, after our initial beach encounter several years ago! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Colour Mixing day - it's a class I love teaching.
You produced an impressive array of lovely nuanced hues. I hope this system of making your own 'colour charts' continues to be useful on your art journey! "
