art-K - Smithdown Reviews 13

My son is an avid artist, very creative and quite skilled x he is on a reduced school timetable so I wanted to find a class or group to nurture his talent and eagerness to draw, to give him time away from screens and enhance the skills he has. We attend Smithdown and Bella is such a kind and patient soul, communication and support has been amazing from the first contact, and my son looks forward to his art class, highlight of his week x thanks so much!

I originally booked 6 classes and enjoyed every minute of it, so booked again. I hadn't done any drawing or painting for many years. It's a lovely laid back class and I've learnt so much in a short space of time.
I really like the flexible approach, being able to use different artistic mediums, work on individual projects and also experience full class teaching.
Bella's style is friendly, constructive, encouraging and humorous. She's both very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher.
Highly recommended for anyone at any level, whether you want to learn the basics, improve from any level and / or just to make time to do something relaxing and fulfilling.

A really experienced teacher that tailors each class to the needs and artistic aspirations of her students. She makes learning to paint and draw fun in a completely non-pressured environment. The 1.5 hours flies by, even though we frequently over run! I’ve signed up for another term - my 3rd so far. I would highly recommend Bella and her art school.

My daughter attended 2 workshops with Bella in Liverpool (Smithdown road) during the half term. She liked it very much, and was very proud of herself as she made 2 beautiful works. Thank you very much. I would recommend these courses, and Bella as a teacher.

My 6 year old daughter has been attending Art K classes for the past few months and it really is her favourite part of the week! She has made some amazing creations using a variety of different mediums, recently working with clay and on canvas. Bella is great, a warm and enthusiastic teacher who keeps parents up to date with what their children are doing at the end of each session, we really couldn’t ask for more from a class, it’s brilliant!

Bella was a brilliant host and teacher- we (3) booked in for a 2 hour pottery session using air dry clay. Bella was very responsive and flexible with the suggestions/ideas given, whilst also being experienced at teaching different techniques. I would thoroughly recommend a session- we're incredibly impressed by our creations. We'll be back!

Bella was amazing. My grandson loves art and had an amazing day. He modelled with clay and made a beautiful model. He says the other children were very friendly and Bella was lovely. Very patient and kind. He said the day went too quickly.

We were looking for an art class that would not only open our minds and creativity, but also have a structure. Here we have found a wonderful experience that has not only introduced my daughter to art, but also given her tools for personal development. It is a beautiful space for development and creativity. I highly recommend it.

My girls have been going to art k smithdown for a few weeks now and they honestly LOVE it.
Bella communicates absloutely amazingly with us parents. She has such a passion and love for teaching art. She is brilliant with my two girls aged 5 and 6. My eldest is autistic and Bella is extremely understanding. I love seeing all their work etc.

The sip and paint at art K smithdown, hosted by bella, was a brilliant experience! Im not a regular painter but the class was accessible and bella explained each step patiently and gave good advice when it came to putting our own little individual spins on the paintings. I had a great time!

Went for a paint and sip, absolutely wonderful teacher. Gave genuine feedback and recommendations whilst keeping the fun! Would recommend to all my friends c:

I had a lovely time at the Sip & Paint. Bella, the teacher, was amazing, kind and very helpful. I am an absolute beginner, but she guided us in clear steps through the painting session and showed us what to do. So to my surprise, I actually made something really nice! Fun session and amazing teacher, so I can recommend!

Myself and two granddaughters went for a family art session with Bella, we had an amazing time. Bella was brilliant, fun and very informative. Each one of us got individual guidance for our art pieces too Would highly recommend this. Looking forward to going again.
