What people are saying 💌

  • Faith

    I felt like I was getting first class treatment today with a small class. After a creative and soothingly energetic class on charcoal drawing, it was like my inner dimmer light was brightened, I felt refreshed. I showed my friends at the Markets and they were totally impressed and shared my revelation, with glee, in that I may have a hint of artistry running in my veins. It was a lovely location. The room enabled people walking past a glimpse of what we were doing. Not that it mattered, we were encased in our own world of imagination, having fun. Thank you

  • Annette

    Phuong's Creative Lab helped me de-stress, unclutter my mind, and connect with myself through charcoal drawing. Under Phuong's gentle guidance, I felt like a kid in art class: experimenting, playing and getting my hands dirty. I loved both the process and the results. It showed me a deeply enjoyable (and efficient!) approach to creativity. Thanks for opening the door to a new medium and giving me the tools to keep going!

  • Jessie

    I never thought that I'd enjoy sketching as much as I did when Phuong came over to teach us. It was relaxing, engaging and fun!

  • Irene

    I didn’t just enjoy the moment but I walked away with reflections that brought me peace and clarity. Thank you for the experience, highly recommended!

  • Faith

    Thank you Phuong and I liked your timing of the session.

    Your three activities taught me different techniques, which layered upon another into effectively draw a picture. I love how a series of lines with shade can create a thought.

    It was interesting using charcoal. I enjoyed getting it in my fingers from many a time around a fire, for me was relaxing.

    Yes you’ve inspired me to draw more!

  • Noel

    Phu was very professional and came well prepared - she was detail oriented and was able to step us through a complicated bespoke request.

  • Shirley

    It really ended up being a really pretty picture and I totally get all the shadows and sunlight spots. Amazing job with the instructions Phuong!
