TESTIMONIALS

“I really enjoyed two collage workshops run by the fabulous Janey Jones.

She was so inspirational and encouraging, and I have since created two collage pieces at home. 
Janey provided great materials including wonderful vintage images and embellishments and gave me some great advice.’’

‘I first attended one of Janey’s collage workshops when I was looking for a creative outlet to help relax after a particularly stressful house move. The atmosphere was welcoming and encouraging and Janey has a knack of knowing when participants like me (with no background in art) might like help or suggestions. The variety of materials provided offered plenty of inspiration and I was soon absorbed in the activity. At the end of the session, I was surprised and proud to see my finished piece mounted up. So far I have been to workshops at Mycenae House on landscape and vintage fashion, and look forward to more in the future.’’
