My friend and I had a wonderful afternoon with Kerry exploring our creativity with Resinart. My friend doesn’t feel that she is at all Arty/crafty but she surprised herself and has an amazing piece of work to show for it. Can’t recommend this highly enough and I will definitely be going along again.Posted on Marion Sorensen22 July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love Kerry's classes. I have done quite a few. Always new things to learn, delivered in a clear and easy to follow way. Kerry is so positive and encouraging and you come away with artwork to be proud of. My 9 and 11 granddaughters flourished under her guidance and were really pleased and proud of their masterpieces. I am definitely looking forward to more and can't wait to see the spring at Magpie Springs. A delightful venue and a great way to spend an afternoon.

It was so therapeutic for both of us. Kerry was kind, encouraging and accepting. Would highly recommend to any families with art as an interest, even if you don’t consider yourself good at painting!Posted on Julie King17 July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerry’s tree of life painting activity was an amazing experience. We all took so much away. The setting was stunning and Kerry’s help and encouragement meant we all took home lovely pieces of art. Priceless time for the brain to quietly take a rest 😊 Thank you Kerry 🫶Posted on Kirsty Fitzpatrick12 July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great afternoon spent with friends and wonderful host Kerry. I was nervous about what my painting was going to look like as I can't draw. The way Kerry broke it down for us and taught us different brush strokes made it less daunting 🙂 a lovely and talented women. Get along to one of her classes! X
