One of the reasons that I teach is to see all the lovely creations that my participants make. Everyone receives the same instruction, and yet that set of instructions can be interpreted so differently. Whether they have painted before or are coming along for the first time, most leave saying that they have learned something new.

Many will show their makes with their friends and family, and this starts to spread the word about my workshops. I know that we are all bombarded with requests for reviews about anything or service that we have purchased online or in stores, but a review does go a long way for a small craft workshop business. It lets others know more about the workshops, about elements you have enjoyed, and whether you would recommend them to others. In fact, reviews are one of the things that prospective buyers look for when looking to purchase, particularly online.

Have you attended one of my workshops recently? If so, and you have enjoyed it perhaps you could spare a few moments to leave a short review either on page ( choose the reviews section, catheter than leaving a comment), or on google. Thanks in advance, your grateful tutor The Crafty Boater.

These dot mandala hand painted flowerpots add a lovely touch of colour to pair with your favourite plants, and you can easily paint these yourself.

Well it’s been a day of watching tennis and painting some of my examples for some Autumn and Christmas workshops. It feels weird painting winter designs on one of the hottest days of the year 😂 These workshops along with other Autumn and Christmas classes will be available on the website soon.
