My children have been taught by Nicki for 5 years now and still absolutely love going. They have gained so much from Nicki’s expertise and calm, focused approach. The studio is a gorgeous, serene environment. Have now started lessons myself in an adult class and the time flew! Looking forward to learning and experimenting with techniques/materials. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing Nicki!

Nicki has created the perfect environment to encourage creativity. There is a peace to her studio and her nature, which sets students up to make the most of the lessons. She is a very talented artist herself and has a particular gift for extracting hidden talents in all of us. My family and I have learnt a good deal about paint techniques and being bold with colour. We have also attended a number of workshops, exploring jewellery making, decoupage and working with clay.Nicki's studio is fully equipped, she has endless patience and I think any time spent here would benefit anyone. Whether an adult class to uncover past talents or learn something new, making friends along the way. Or a school aged person wanting top class art education which cannot be found in the curriculum today.....Nicki will give you a chance to unclutter your mind and find your creative side. I can't recommend her classes enough.....x

Nicki is easy to work with, friendly and extremely knowledgable. Nicki is responsible for taking me from being a complete novice to producing lovely paintings that I’m proud of, and there’s more to learn. If you’re interested in painting, her lessons will be the quickest hour you will have, she’s also a nice person.

Nicki is amazing! my daughter loved her as a teacher at school, so I was really happy to see her recommended when I was asking for art lessons for my daughter. She really inspires the children to follow there own vision whilst using whatever media they fancy. Honestly cannot reccommend the classes enough, especially the ad hoc jewellery making classes.
