Reviews from Artful Florals November 2024
“What an enjoyable day with Lucy Perry at the Artful Floral workshop. We spent the day being guided on how to use water based media. I find Lucy an inspirational and generous teacher, she is always positive and seems to know just what you need to hear to spur you on or make you think about the process that is being covered. It is a great journey of self discovery. The day passed so quickly, it was great fun. The set up for the day was done really well, lots of art materials supplied with the tea, coffee, treats and a delicious lunch, which all flowed effortlessly – but we all appreciate the work that goes into producing a day like that! I went home inspired by what I had done and also what others had done, the group of us worked easily together which marks the mastery of Lucy’s teaching skills. I find I broaden my artistic skill and my confidence grows, whenever I do a course with Lucy. “ D Stratford
