"Thank-you for an amazing day yesterday. I was exhausted last night, so I knew that I did a lot of processing yesterday. My husband thinks my still life in colour is so good he wants to frame it!! "

- Business woman who had never painted before.

"Have enthused about our day with you to all and sundry! You provided a wonderfully creative environment and my friend and I are determined to extend ourselves, thanks to you!

- Established artist/illustrator who wanted to explore her art further.

"I do not usually pass on information about a workshop and tell you how I felt about it - for it induces expectations but this workshop I found so worthwhile that I will run the risk of inducing expectations. My husband and I attended this workshop last week and we both found it to rate amongst the best workshops we have ever attended. Ann runs her workshop incredibly well it is not about art (although you may play a bit with tools that are generally associated with art) we both found it to be about experiencing yourself, and how you react and play. Personally I found it to be incredible and if you are afraid of the word art - do not be - simply believe me - I cannot tell you more without removing the pleasure of discovering this workshop for yourself."

"I would like to add though that Ann's workshop could well be termed a venture into prosperity ... for there is no lack felt while you are there and she has an incredible way of holding a group and maintaining a sense of fun and child-like pleasure (the sticky cookies assist in that regard too)."

- Reflexologist and her engineering / healer husband.
