   We had have three different parties / events with ArtPocket, for three totally different audiences and ArtPocket has totally nailed it each time. So Impressed how Becky has effortlessly catered for children, family and a hen do type affair. It’s my go to place for family & friend creativity!

   This is my second year at Artpocket, as I'd miss not doing a course here! Incredibly well organised - especially in response to Covid-19 rules - very clean, safe and structured. The pivot to oline teaching was smooth and we've kept up with the course content. The teaching and critique from Becky, Hannelore and Tom is second to none and I've learnt so much about my practice in a very short time. I enjoy the atmosphere, the supportive nature of the groups and the breadth of skills I have learnt. Highly recommend for anyone considering additional art education.

   I am just coming to the end of a year @ Artpocket, participating in their Art Intensive course - what a year! Becky and Hannelore’s expertise, passion for their subjects, commitment and general loveliness created a safe haven to experiment, learn, grow and express myself artistically, I’ve come late to Art, am a beginner in many ways, but have felt supported but never cosseted, always challenged to dig deeper to find my style, my direction, my inner motivation. It’s been a holistic experience that has affected more than skills and knowledge, Even with lockdown, they have adapted and continued to deliver their high quality, personalised, encouraging services. Most of all it’s been a year of lots of fun, laughter and new relationships too with fellow attendees. Unsurprisingly, given the above, I am continuing being part of the ArtPocket family and moving on to their Postgraduate course. I can’t wait!

   I joined the 'Arts Intensive' course at Artpocket as a grown-up gap year, just to have some fun. The course ran two days a week, and was a fast paced introduction to many techniques - mark-making, paper-making, textiles, print-making, sculpture, with an underpinning of core subjects including life-drawing and painting. The tutors are creative, supportive, very knowledgeable and incredibly patient - nothing is too much trouble. The studios are large and well-equipped - you can really let go' and work without restriction or fear of making a mess, something that held me back at home. The course is very experimental and the biggest lesson I learned was how to take an idea and play with it, rather than worrying about the end product or needing to produce a finished piece. As the year drew to a close I realised I didn't want it to end, so with the tutors' support I decided to apply to University to do a textiles degree (as a very mature student) armed with a portfolio of work I never dreamed of producing at the beginning. I wholeheartedly recommend Artpocket. I met other like-minded students (we definitely did have fun!) who've become firm friends. My year turned out to be unexpectedly liberating and ultimately changed the course of my life.

   We booked Artpocket to run a creative workshop for our team of architects as part of our CPD programme. From our initial conversation, the Artpocket team demonstrated a thorough understanding of our brief and went on to design a carefully considered workshop that met our objectives and exceeded all expectations. Our afternoon with them was a fun, imaginative and thoughtful exploration of the creative process. Hannelore and Rebecca have created a relaxed and comfortable studio environment and are clearly experienced and skilled arts professionals, delivering high quality educational workshops. I would thoroughly recommend them to any business or organisation seeking creative experiences to motivate and inspire their teams.

   Art pocket provides a very nourishing and nurturing approach to developing your existing knowledge and interest in art. I found it really inspiring and gave me the much needed space to consolidate what I had learned previously on other courses. The workshops were great for variety and diversity of mediums and materials and the camaraderie is brilliant. It is good to feel part of this stimulating project and Becky and Hannalore are so dedicated and listen to participants to adapt to their needs. I am busy with work commitments but plan to be back after Easter to sample some more. See you then
