Had such a wonderful 3 hours here, tapping into my creativity under the expert guidance and gentle encouragement of Gigi, who is a great teacher and someone who helps you feel connected to the piece that you are working on in a very personal way. She brings her entire self and her passion as an artist and an individual to her teaching style. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to grow their creative side by sampling different art and craft techniques, all in an inviting and relaxing atmosphere.

Discovering Gigi's workshop felt like finding my creative place in Bangkok. Since moving here, I've been on the lookout for a place where I could learn some form of art work like acrylic painting, mandala art, etc, and Gigi's workshop exceeded all expectations. Gigi is an exceptional instructor who makes learning both engaging and enjoyable. Her instructions are crystal clear, and she generously allows ample time for creativity to flow. What truly sets her apart is the serene atmosphere she cultivates—soft, relaxing music in the background and casual conversations create a welcoming space where learning feels like a peaceful retreat rather than a formal class. Beyond mandala art, Gigi offers a wealth of creative pursuits like ecoprinting, batik print, cyanotype, etc. Her passion for various art forms is infectious, and she goes above and beyond to share her knowledge and experiences. What really impressed me was how attentive and patient she was. She not only taught mandala art beautifully but also took the time to explain ecoprinting and upcoming workshops, which I was eager to explore. Her prompt responses over WhatsApp and detailed feedback on the work were incredibly helpful and encouraging. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better learning environment. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist looking to expand your skills, I wholeheartedly recommend Gigi's workshop. It's a haven for creativity, learning, and connecting with others who share your passion. I'm looking forward to diving into ecoprinting soon and continuing my artistic journey with your guidance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore their creative side in a supportive and inspiring setting!

A very satisfying and rich experience! I took the Mandala class and Gigi not only taught skills to design these myself from a blank page but also deeper conversation about the technique and mental health benefits of mandala.
