Enjoyable and relaxing.

This was my second workshop with Carla Gebbard and it was just as enjoyable as the first. She is a lovely tutor, encouraging, non judgemental and happy to advise and help.
A lovely way to spend a morning.
Thank you.

Don't hesitate ... paint.

What a wonderful morning learning new techniques in watercolour. Carla made this experience everything I'd hoped for and more ... relaxed, informative, inspiring, peaceful and therapeutic. I've been painting today, using what I learned, instead of the 'chores' I had planned ... a much more joyful way to spend my day! Thank you Carla, and the beautiful Hare Hill Barn, for a really lovely day.

Very well structured - Carla is a great teacher

I really enjoyed Carla's workshop. It was very well structured and well paced. Carla demonstrated different techniques and gave us lots of time to practice. It was my first time using watercolour and I was delighted with what I managed to achieve in the time. I'm now keen to learn more!

Really enjoyed the workshop

I recently did a watercolour workshop with Carla, my first time with watercolours and I really enjoyed it. The lesson went along at just the right pace for beginners and the time flashed by too quickly. I've already booked for the next one! Thanks to Carla and her mum x

Had a wonderful afternoon with Carla

Had a wonderful afternoon with Carla, she was very patient with a couple of novices and what we produced was way better than we expected. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to give watercolours a go. Thank you Carla, (the coffee & cakes were lovely too)

During my private workshop today

During my private workshop today I learnt so much about techniques, use of colours and spacing. Carla's calm nature created a feeling of tranquility and her encouraging way makes her an excellent tutor, I would thoroughly recommend this workshop.

Wonderful Watercolour Workshop

As a complete beginner, I had no expectations of the art I would produce. But with Carla’s thoughtful guidance, my friends and I not only enjoyed the experience but felt so encouraged by Carla and the paintings we created that we are all inspired to continue independently. I highly recommend and look forward to next time!

A joyous way to spend a Friday 🤍

I really enjoyed Carla’s watercolour workshop. She’s such a kind and inspiring teacher, and her love for art shines through in everything she does. The studio is so beautiful and peaceful, and the session was well organised and relaxed. I left feeling refreshed and inspired to keep painting. Highly recommend! 🎨 💕

Lovely way to spend an afternoon…

Such a fabulous afternoon watercolour workshop with Carla. Her beautiful studio with soft background music was so calming. Myself and two friends spent the afternoon making Christmas cards under Carla’s expert guidance. It was such a treat and would recommend it 100%.

An afternoon of watercolour therapy …

I bought my sister a voucher for her birthday to join me for an afternoon sitting, on a watercolour workshop with Carla.
It was like a breath of fresh air! We both absolutely loved the afternoon. Carlas expertise, together with her beautiful persona , taught us so much in just a couple of hours.
Hoping to join Carla again soon for another session. Would 100% recommend if you’re considering.

Carla's relaxed and informative style made the workshop for me as a complete novice who has never been able to draw. Tips and techniques supported us all in producing some lovely pieces of work
