4worldlovers: Andrea has made us a beautiful Christmas plate that I know we'll bring out and treasure for years to come. My 4 year old loved painting her foot and picking her Christmas character. It was a super fun experience - thank you!

Andrea did a Christmas plate and some baubles for us whilst at an event at Alf & co and they are absolutely beautiful. Lovely lady who helped make the process with a 10 month old stress free and has made some really beautiful pieces that will be cherished for years. Thank you!

4worldlovers: Since launching my Nottingham based Create! Art School in 2017, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of people in my painting, drawing and craft classes. My skill is to build confidence in art and help you to unleash your inner creative.

Try for FREE, my most popular "pen and watercolour flowers" course and see how creative you can feel.

My art classes are for anyone who can hold a pencil or paintbrush, draw the simplest line on a piece of paper, and watch videos. That's it! Those are all the artistic requirements you'll need to enjoy my art classes and workshops. You don't need any prior experience in art or any 'natural' artistic skills.

“The drawing lessons have been excellent. Great resources and clear instruction. I feel like my drawing has developed a lot. Thank you.”

“I have been a member of one of Helen’s art groups for nearly 2 years. I thoroughly enjoy the sessions both painting and drawing. Helen is a very talented artist but more so a really good teacher. Having started with no experience I have become a more confident artist through her tuition."

“I really enjoy the drawing class. Helen is a brilliant teacher, she gives us lots of advice on techniques and nurtures our skills.”

“The painting class has been a real oasis. Helen has kept me motivated trying different media with her enthusiasm and expertise. The class has been fun, encouraging and I look forward to seeing Helen and all my painting friends on a Friday.”
