"We had a lovely time at Heather's class! She was super knowledgeable and friendly, and offered a great intro to watercolour painting. She was very generous with her time and even bought us coffees and morning tea. I could've spent all day with her!"

Anthea Katelaris • Jan 2025
I had such a lovely time at Heather’s class. I came with low expectations of what I’d be able to do but was surprised at how accessible the class was (to someone with no artistic skills!) and left wanted to do more. It was also a really fun and relaxing few hours.
