What People Are Saying

Over 130 women have already joined an Art with Mellie Creative session — some with friends, others coming along on their own, and even travelling from further afield just to enjoy a few hours of creativity, calm, and time for themselves.

Here’s what some of them had to say.

Hannah
"I had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful day and the location was very peaceful. Mellie was lovely and very welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and felt in my happy place."
Delwyn
"I came by myself - didnt know anyone - but that was OK. I felt included, supported and also challenged - to complete the artwork during the given time. It was just what the heart and soul needed. thank you so much x"

"You don’t need skills as Mellie teaches in a way that even I can make something pretty. It’s fun and if you make a mistake, you can just paint over it. That’s the joy of painting nature, it’s not perfect! This is my second experience and will continue coming as I am really loving the experience and my art at the end’ "

Ange
"The setup and atmosphere were great, Mellie made us feel so comfortable and was excellent at teaching the painting methods and steps. I brought a friend and we had a fantastic time!"
Louisa
"What I enjoyed most was Mellie's energy, passion, inspiring us and teaching. The setting was beautiful and peaceful too."
Gaylene
"Relaxed atmosphere & simple guidelines to make my own art work, Mellie is also very encouraging & has a lovely nature so one doesn't feel judged."

Rae
"Having to chance to paint a canvas of my own for the first time. I loved the fact that everyone's paintings looked completely different and unique in their own way. It was a great time and I got to meet some lovely ladies at the same time."
Jenny
"Absolutely beautiful setting, surrounded by like minded women. Mellie was excellent at working with the full group of 24 people, and never seemed stressed or rushed. A truly wonderful experience."
Delwyn
"Your attention to detail both with the teaching pace, tools of the trade, try sheet, modelling and roaming the room - ensuring we were all empowered to succeed - it was magical. Anyone can do it... you made it happen"

Ange
"Thank you very much! I bought two spots to bring my friend as her 40th birthday present; it was the perfect gift as she wasn't sure of her abilities and we were both so proud of our creations at the end! Our families were impressed too!"
Mel
"This is my third time and this time I am doing much better with the flowers. You come to enjoy relax and just have that moment of peace and share with others. Thank you for being amazing and making sure we are all ok and at the same stage and showing others if they need more help and telling people that it looks amazing."
Anna
"Thanks so much for today Mellie! It was so much fun! Looking forward to doing another one soon. You have inspired me that maybe I can learn to paint too."

Jenny
"I enjoyed painting for the first time in my adult life. Very relaxing. You were excellent at explaining how to do the different techniques. The set up was great - having everything set out already for each person. Honestly, I cant find a single fault. Everything was perfectly done! It felt relaxing, like we weren't rushed but the event wasn't too long, everything was available within hands reach. Excellently done!"
Annonymous
"I learnt lots of new things today and actually was able to paint leaves. I can’t wait to learn and practice more."
Hannah
"Mellie did a fantastic job with setting up, I was very impressed with how she had thought of everything we could possibly need."

Courtney
"Great vibe, well prepared and organised, well priced. Mellie was very encouraging and approachable for help and questions. All equipment provided, easy to access everything needed. Loved all aspects found it very relaxing and enjoyable."
Michele
"The atmosphere was fun yet relaxing. The instruction was well paced and clear. I especially liked the practice paper. This is a great event for anyone wanting to enjoy some time creating whether you are new to art or have experience. Enjoyable time with friends or meet new people."
Lisa
"Sooo much fun. Extremely well set up. Mellie is super welcoming, and as a teacher explained the techniques really well. Would definitely come again!"
