“This retreat day was just fabulous. Can’t wait for the next one!”
“We much prefer to have a mum and daugther time like this than go clothes shopping.
It’s way more fun”
“Wow Joan’s art retreat was a blast!
Lovely people and a great teacher. I’ve been once before as a birthday treat and this was my second time I will 100% be returning.
I’ve told a couple of friends how great it was and we are planning on coming together in march.
With Joan’s classes she doesn’t do “step by step” but instead teaches you techniques which enables you to go away and paint freely with the skills you have learnt. Highly recommend!
