I attended Cathy’s workshop earlier this year and it was absolutely inspiring, informative fun – not just fun, it was a hoot! I was with three friends, all with different experience levels – professional ceramics artist to beginner – we ALL learned SO much! Cathy is a wonderful, patient, talented teacher – I will definitely book another session – it would be an amazing gift for a party – we had one on our day, cake and all.

WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE – INSPIRATIONAL!

Art Workshop Students discovering their creativity

I recently had the pleasure of participating in a team building day with Cathy Read, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Cathy Read, is a gifted artist and an exceptional facilitator. She guided us through a series of engaging activities centered around watercolours and paint. Her passion for art was infectious, and she effortlessly created an environment that encouraged us to explore our artistic sides and embrace the joy of painting. I cannot recommend Cathy highly enough. Whether you’re a corporate team looking to foster creativity and collaboration or a group of friends seeking a unique and uplifting experience, Cathy’s expertise and passion for art will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. Thank you, Cathy, for an incredible day of painting and connection!
