The White Room Art Studio reviews

Sue reviewed: Monthly drink & draw evening class

"I had the best time at my first drink and draw class with Julie. I received such a warm welcome and how nice to have a glass of wine at this social event with a group of people with a shared love of art. This is my first adventure into watercolour, learning at home initially, but I learnt so much more with Julie’s help. Julie is a very kind and friendly teacher, hands on when needed and hands off giving me time to explore and create. I really enjoyed being with everyone on the class, taking a break for wine and cheese and then coming back with fresh eyes on my creation…… 😁 Great fun! Thank you so much Julie and see you in October. "

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Thank you so much Sue for your lovely review, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the evening, Julie "

"It was fun and useful, I learned how to use watercolours properly. Everyone there is very friendly and as soon as I got there I knew I was welcome."

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Lyra thank you for your lovely review of teen art, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, Julie ?"

Andra Munro reviewed: Junior Art (5-12 yrs) taster session

"My 6 years old son absolutely loved it there, he made friends with the others straight away while they were drawing. My son loved it more than football club or self defence class. So this is definitely something he wants to pursue further. Julie is a very friendly and professional, so lovely to have an artist and teacher like her in our town! Thank you!"

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Thank you Andra for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind words. I’m very pleased your son had a lovely morning and we hope to see him back soon Julie"

George White reviewed: Watercolour painting afternoons at The White Room Art Studio

"I learned more about basic techniques in a few initial sessions, than I did on a full 8 week course in Derby a number of years ago. An excellent grounding on which to move forward."

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Thank you George, glad you’re learning lots! See you after the half term break!"

Donna Debenham reviewed: Teen Saturday art club (12-16 year olds) 13weeks

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Sue really pleased your enjoying your classes"

Felicia Dutton reviewed: Monthly drink & draw evening class

"I LOVE the Friday evenings spent with Julie at Drink & Draw. I can't tell you how much of a treat it is. It's not just the splish-sploshing of art materials, even though that is tremendous, or the wonderful themes and new materials to try, nor, of course, the wine and nibbles, but the excellent ambiance and wonderful company that can be found there. Once tried... forever hooked."

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Ah thank you, what a lovely review"

Tess Haynes reviewed: Monthly drink & draw evening class

"Drink & Draw is a rare combination of themed creativity in a like minded group coupled with the freedom to express the artist within whilst sipping a cool wine. The topic gives you focus for the evening and Julie provides direction and support, inspiration boards, project examples and all supplies. The stunning high vaulted studio is warm, welcoming and perfect if you just want to play with sharpie pens and glue or adopt a more professional approach with artist watercolours. Highly recommended but book early as places fill up quickly"

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Thank you for your review Tess- Not surprised it mentioned Sharpie pens!?"

Nell chambers reviewed: Monthly drink & draw evening class

"Love the Drink and Draw evenings. Both men and women on the course and lots of fun trying out new things. Personally, I don’t do a lot of drawing. More cut and stick for me, and sloshing around with paint. Cheese, wine, grapes and Maltesers. Who could ask for more?"

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Love your (Malteser fuelled) collages Nell !"

Carrie-Anne smith reviewed: Monthly drink & draw evening class

"What can I say, it's an absolutely fabulous evening that I look forward to every month. Julie is not only a fantastic teacher she is the perfect host too. You paint, you draw, you eat you drink, you chat and laugh. Time really does fly when your having fun. Don't worry if you can't draw, there is so much more to do, and Julie is always at hand."

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Thank you Carrie-Anne for your lovely feedback Julie"

Lisa Warrilow reviewed: Monthly drink & draw evening class

"Once a month this evening is my absolute saviour. I look forward to it all month and it never disappoints. Sometimes I try a new skill, sometimes I'm content to sit and copy various images. Julie looks after you, supplies all the materials and tops up your glass.....perfect!!!"

The White Room Art Studio responded:

"Lisa thank you for your review, really glad you enjoy the drink & draw evenings, Julie"

"I am a beginner and having never used watercolour before I have found this course excellent. Julie is a brilliant teacher who is always encouraging us to try out different techniques, introducing the group to new artists and their works and giving support and help when needed. I really enjoy the course and the friendly atmosphere of the group."

"Julie's watercolour classes are Excellent. I'd highly recommend for beginners and for the more advanced. I started last September as a beginner and have continued with classes learning new techniques. I'm lucky having this class on the doorstep from me."
