I enjoyed the pause from all the touristy sightseeing and taking a couple of hours to get crafty, use my hands, and walk around a neighborhood I otherwise wouldn’t have visited. I was lucky enough to have a 1:1 session with Maria, though I am sure it would have been great in a group setting as well. Maria is a fantastic facilitator and helped me correct some of my sloppiness. She even suggested some synthetic glue I could use instead of the default animal-based glue when she heard I was vegan :) Had a lovely time, warmly recommend this workshop!

This was my second time booking a class with Maria. She is a very knowledgeable Nihonga art teacher and happy to answer all of your questions and show you how everything is done. Highly recommend learning the principles of Nihonga painting to experienced and beginner artists alike! You will learn so much :)

Maria's a phenomenal artist and is very knowledgeable in nihonga techniques. You’ll have a great time learning and creating art!

great! thank you so much :)
