I attended a watercolour motif class back in January and had a lovely time! There was some instruction at the start on how to use the paints, but it was generally a very handsoff class which I liked! I really got in the zone and found it super relaxing. The tutor was friendly and knowledgeable, and the venue is very calming. Would definitely recommend!

As a visual arts major, I've had my fair share of art classes, but this one truly stood out. The gentleman teaching the class was so passionate and knowledgeable about the traditional Turkish water colour practice, and let's not forget the delightful touch of having traditional Turkish tea and Turkish delight! It added an extra layer of cultural immersion to the experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to explore the beauty of traditional watercolor. It's a journey you won't want to miss!

I recently did the watercolour paint & sip class and me and friends had the best time painting our own traditional floral designs. I recommend to everyone looking for a relaxing and fun activity in Sydney.
