Micklems Farm Creative Workshops reviews

Mary Pinder reviewed: Landscape in Oils

Chris Leakey reviewed: Still Life for Beginners

Leanne O'Neill reviewed: Alla Prima Portrait in Oils

"I've never been to Medlam's Farm before, so it was a pleasure to turn up for an oil painting class and see the gardens before it started. The class was very well organised, with lots of room for all attendees, and they served refreshments and cake throughout the day. Our tutor Mick was fantastic, taking the time (for us newbies to oil) walking through the principles of the medium and providing books and examples on Alla Prima. He was very knowledgeable - a superb artist in his own right - and ensured the pace of the lesson (and support throughout class) was considered. It was an extremely enjoyable day, and I would highly recommend these classes to all."

"I enjoyed this class. Easy to follow, enough students to teachers. And I liked the general atmosphere - everybody was friendly and I got to see the resident cats too which always makes me happy! I will be joining the team again for more workshops soon. Thank you!"

Val reviewed: Christmas Wreath 3

"This was an excellent course. Most enjoyable and relaxing. The tuition was superb giving guidance on technique at stages throughout the morning and then leaving the individuals to design their own wreathes to suit them with assistance as required. The greenery was varied and fresh straight from the garden and the decorations were plentiful and varied. Festive fare was brought round too. "

Kathy reviewed: Silver Jewellery with Sea Glass

"The course was excellent I learnt new skills from scratch and the tutor was patient and calm with a about 8 people learning. I would definitely do another course the venue was excellent. The sea glass course pm session takes longer and I think may have been helpful to have an assistant for the tutor with 8 people as there is a lot to do after lunch fixing the back plate and ring however she did this with us all and it was brilliant Thank you "
