A lovely event for having fun while supporting fellow artists. It was so interesting bouncing ideas off each other and the drawing games were a highlight.
I really enjoyed today's event. It was fun meeting people who are involved in art. Refreshing.
I really enjoyed the meeting. It was lovely to meet new people and do some creative things together!
Lovley organisers lovley networking possibilities
Lovely atmosphere, encouraging throughout, didn't think I was able to produce anything to be proud of but definitely did.
Very relaxing activity to do, Serena is a very talented artist and explains things very calmly. Great for beginners
Very fun and calming event where a local artist took us through the process of painting on cards. Well worth it!
Amazing workshop, I really enjoyed Serena and Vanessa's professionalism and creativity when leading the class! I managed to paint two cards and had a blast!
Gorgeous experience! Would definitely recommend!
Artivist Haven hosted a wonderful family event for the Foresters Members Community at a Brighton seafront venue. Very professional, extremely adaptable, great experience. Keep it up Vanessa & Co.
Really well taught relaxed workshop where you are guided but not told what to do. They provided techniques, inspiration, and resources but gave complete freedom to paint what we wanted! Would go again :)
I had the pleasure of attending a market event with Vanessa as our art agent for The Mundane's debut stall. She was professional, punctual, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. Her calm and organized approach made the day run smoothly, allowing us to focus on connecting with the public and gathering valuable feedback. Vanessa was a key part of making our first showcase a success, and I��d highly recommend working with her.
Vanessa was very helpful in coordinating the workshop. She handled all the admins, from funding, timeline planning to venue arrangements, allowing me to focus on preparing my workshop content. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a reliable collaborator for a well-organised, successful event.
