Thank you Amina x "

"What a fabulous workshop! Amina instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable in the calm, purposeful environment. With a small group of three, Amina put us all at ease regardless of our levels of experience and ensured that we had the taste of success at every opportunity. Amina is a fabulous teacher and encouraged us all to be creative and put our new found skills to use in our final pieces. A huge winner for me was that Amina made a great cup of tea! The cream tea and scones at the end of the workshop were delicious, beautifully presented and the portions were generous. We will definitely be returning for another workshop in the future."

A.S.K Garden Art Gallery & Studio responded:

"Thank you for a fabulous review. I loved meeting the 3 of you, great company, lots of chatter and the enthusiasm… I wish I could bottle it up. You took everything in your pace and learned quickly. I look forward to seeing you all again for a workshop. The tea will be brewing Xx"

Lucy Brammer reviewed: Beginners Watercolours & Cream Tea Experience (minimum booking is for 2 people)

"My partner booked an art session with a cream tea for myself and our daughter. Amina contacted us beforehand to ask what kind of art piece we wanted to create. When we arrived Amina was lovely and welcoming. The art studio is a fantastic space in a quiet courtyard. We both really enjoyed the day; Amina gave us just the right amount of help and support which still allowed us free expression. We are both very happy with the pictures that we created and I’m sure we will be booking some more sessions soon. "

A.S.K Garden Art Gallery & Studio responded:

"Hi Lucy, thanks so much for your lovely review. It was great to spend time with you and Verity, you both completed beautiful mixed-media paintings. Toby thoroughly enjoyed himself too. We hope to see you both again soon.x"

Tracy Robinson reviewed: Beginners Watercolours & Cream Tea Experience (minimum booking is for 2 people)

"My friend and I wanted to reconnect with art and found this class on line. It was a wonderful 2 hours learning art techniques in a very relaxing studio. We not only managed to produce a lovely picture, it also felt we had a mindfulness session of unwinding from the daily stresses of work. Amina was very engaging and supportive to help us learn and feel relaxed, she worked at our pace and gave us tips as we moved along the session. The room was spacious with lovely smells of homemade scones to finish off the session. Loved the whole experience and we will be back for more. Big thanks Amina :)"

A.S.K Garden Art Gallery & Studio responded:

"The session in watercolours with Tracy & Jeannie was so enjoyable. They loved learning and threw themselves into the workshop taking everything on board. The both completed a lovely final piece using the techniques they learned. I loved their enthusiasm and positivity, and, look forward to working with them again."

Ruth reviewed: Beginners Watercolours & Cream Tea Experience (minimum booking is for 2 people)

"We booked a workshop with Amina as a gift for our soon-to-be sister-in-law, and it turned out to be a wonderfully zen and fun alternative to the traditional 'hen do' :) Amina was so welcoming and put us all at ease; her studio is spacious and really well equipped. Everything was prepared when we arrived and we all sipped a hot drink whilst she talked us through what we'd be doing and what to expect. None of us had much recent art experience but we were all pleasantly surprised at what we were able to produce with the different techniques. All this topped off with delicious homemade scones, generous helpings of jam and clotted cream, plus freshly pressed coffee and a pot of tea - it was a wonderful afternoon enjoyed greatly by all. Thank you, Amina!"

A.S.K Garden Art Gallery & Studio responded:

"Hi Ruth, It was a lovely afternoon and I felt privileged to host such a special occasion. The work you all completed was beautiful, there was a lot of talent in that studio. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the home made scones with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. I look forward to seeing photos of the wedding. Amina x"
