Sarah's workshop was outstanding from start to finish! I had a superb day and from being a complete novice to finishing a painting at the end of the day was an absolute joy! Sarah is one inspirational teacher. If you get the opportunity go!

Fabulous day. I learned so much - Sarah was full of brilliant tips and advice. I could not believe how much I learned in a one day. Sarah is a natural tutor, warm, engaging, immensely knowledgable and with a lovely manner that puts you at ease.

A wonderful workshop. I am a complete beginner and enjoyed every part of the day. I learnt a great deal and was really pleased with my painting at the end of the day.

Learnt some new skills with painting as I always just sketched before - more than satisfied! Fun, relaxing and came away with different skills to try.

Selina Taylor

The space we worked in was open, and light, and well thought out. The pace of the instruction was well pitched, informative and informal. Really interesting to take apart how to build up layers on depth, thank you so much Sarah.

Indoors and outdoors

As we are located in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, some of our longer workshops may involve making some sketches or studies outdoors and then more time developing paintings in the studio. It depends largely on the weather, but also on the type and duration of the course.

Please bring suitable clothing for variable weather conditions and flat footwear for outdoor walking as well as for comfort when standing at the easels. It is advisable to wear several warm layers as the studio is on the cool side and doors are often left open for extra ventilation.
