Heart for Art NZ

I really enjoyed the way you took us through creating the painting, step-by-step and doing it with us so we could get a clear idea of what to do. Loved the fact that I could arrive with nothing and everything was provided - including yummy snacks! My only complaint was the music - it's not needed - it was a very noisy environment, making it difficult to to relax and fully enjoy my painting experience.

Looking for a fun activity? Look no further... Silke made the whole experience amazing. The booking process was straight forward, Silke gave me all details quickly and followed up weekly in case I had any questions but didn't feel pressured in any way to lock anything in there and then. It took some time to organise our event and Silke was ever so understanding and patient throughout. Once booked all communications were quick, informative and truly felt like Silke was excited to host us which added to the whole experience! The day itself was great, everyone had the best time, the hardest part was choosing just the 1 painting from all the great ones she offers!! Tea/coffee is provided with a great array of snacks and the BYO made it really easy for everyone coming along. The perfect hen party experience...

Great afternoon painting. I did not finish my painting on time, but Silkie allowed me to stay & insisted I finish my painting which I really appreciated. I thoroughly recommend these classes great way to get into painting Silkie explains step by step in a lovely positive patient way.

Amazing experience! Silke is a fantastic teacher and creativity guide and our paintings turned out awesome. She really knew how to ease us into the journey and have trust in ourselves. Strongly recommend it! Thank you Silke.

Great experience. Thank you for holding the space and for your attention and guidance into painting a canvas I am proud to keep on my walls!

For my sisters hens party Silke provided a fun atmosphere for us all to tap into our creative sides. Many were unsure of their ability to paint but with Silke's step by step instructions everyone achieved something they were proud of. I loved that we all had to put on a special painting shirt upon arrival and it was the perfect activity to do on the windy rainy Wellington day!The only thing I would mention was when I was told a platter would be provided I automatically thought cheese and crackers etc, but it was mostly sweet things; biscuits, slices and lollies which was fine, but maybe a clearer description of the platter would be good for future party customers? If I had known I would have brought our own cheese platter as most of us were drinking wine which doesn't pair with Tim tams so well :) Otherwise a fantastic experience and perfect for a Hens Do!!

I loved our paint event in Wellington I never thought I could actually paint something of quality and be creative but Silke's step by step instructions made all the difference and I had fun doing it in this relaxed and chilled paint studio with some of my conference attendees. Now I have a great New Zealand nature inspired souvenir for my wall. Highly recommend this experience for anyone.

I organised a Heart for Art paint party for my friends bridal shower. It was a great activity for a mixture of ages and abilities. Everybody had a lot of fun and got to take away their own master piece as a keepsake.Silke was very professional and lead a great paint party not to mention very accommodating to all our needs. Would definitely recommend! Thank you!

Silke is a superb teacher and gave really easy to follow instructions and constant encouragement. I attended a paint party and had high expectations of myself despite having never painted lol but I gave up trying to produce a perfect painting and had a lot of fun relaxing into it and going with the flow. Silke's energy and patience helped add to a great experience and knowing that after 3.5 hours I got to walk away with a finished art piece was awesome! I plan to keep learning and improving my painting through her virtual classes and the paint club. Would thoroughly recommend if you were looking to try something new!

Had an awesome time painting for a work event, and amazed myself with how it turned out. Haven't painted in year, and never something that looks this good. Everyone can enjoy themselves and learn at the same time.
