Success Stories
"When we were younger, our teachers and parents would discourage us from doing these things, but now, it's time for us to really enjoy all the wonderful skills that we never knew we had".
"My husband and sons never seemed to care about my professional life, but now they can't wait to see what I've created in my art class. They love what I do and I'm so happy about that".
"It has become my favourite time of the week, I've done two courses so far and I'm booked in for the next one.
I've met some really nice people so far and we all enjoy each others growth".
