TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you again for running the workshop for us on Tuesday evening. You are an incredibly talented artist, and your ability to tailor your teaching style to the individual abilities of the participants did not go unnoticed.
 
Your humor and approachable nature created an atmosphere in which people felt comfortable to ask questions and really get involved. It was so lovely to witness."

Disability Support Service Manager
"The workshop was brilliant and full of such great tips. Thanks so much for putting it together. Helen was amazing, and Emma picked up heaps of new techniques. She really enjoyed it and was so glad she came to this instead of the comedy night! Even an old chook like me picked up a few ideas haha.
 
I loved how the participants got some products, brushes and tools to take home and experiment with; that was a lovely touch, and Emma really liked that too. Can't wait for our next group workshop session, whatever it may be.
 
I think overall workshops are a great way for participants to meet new people and get out of the house while learning some new skills too. For those brave enough to try new things, the gains are amazing, and hopefully Sonder will be doing more in the future to make this happen."
