Joyful feedback
Vici’s workshops are brilliant. Both my children have gone over the years and they love the variety of activities on offer. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed and her passion really inspires the children no matter what their artistic skill level. My son has SEN needs so it’s great for him to as she really takes her time to explain everything and all the work is celebrated. Would highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Vici enough! My daughters have been going to her art classes and holiday clubs for a number of years and are always so excited to try new amazing art projects. The creative content of art each week gets better and better! We’ve also used Vici for many parties and she is brilliant. She’s full of so many fabulous ideas, has a very natural teaching style and is very approachable.

My son has attended many of Vici’s holiday club workshops over the past few years. He has loved them and has proudly shared his artwork after each session. For a child who doesn’t think he is naturally ‘arty’, the work he has produced has been amazing! The sessions are very well structured and Vici is a patient, kind teacher whose love of art shines through.
