I had a really nice experience overall and the quality of the products and materials we used was excellent. It was a lovely and enjoyable activity.
Just a couple of small points of feedback - I found the demonstration quite short and unfortunately I couldn’t always hear the instructions clearly while the lady was explaining what to do. I think having a slightly longer demonstration and making sure everyone can hear the guidance would have helped me get an even better result with my painting.
The session also ran quite a bit over the expected time, although I appreciate that this can sometimes happen with an activity like this.
Overall, it was a lovely experience and I really enjoyed it — these are just a few small things that I think could make an already enjoyable experience even better.
Very good class and it was relaxing to do this ancient art. I would recommend telling people a bit more about possibility of colour running through the borders and the fact that to get lighter colour one ends up using more water.
