Social Drawing hour is brilliant! Donna is a fantastic teacher! I've learnt so much. Every week is different & it's great seeing my drawing friends and chatting over coffee.

My favourite time of the week! I have learnt so much from Donna. We are presented with a new challenge each week and it's such fun.

— Irene Getley talking about Social Drawing
Donna provides workshops that cater to those of us who have a fear of art right through to creative people. After 20years living & working in Ware, I've found a positive connection to navigate creativity, community and build new interests. She has created a safe place that you can go on your own & meet new people.

I organised an art session with Donna for a group of friends. We had a fab time doing mosaics. Donna is very talented, great fun, very helpful & patient. Can highly recommend booking with her in her shop for something different and fun!

Donna is marvellous! Really kind and was great at explaining the process of pottery painting to us. Would highly recommend booking one of the artsy activities at &ByDonna - you'll have a lovely time

- Anita Boamah about Pottery
I attended Donna's Social Painting class after booking it as a birthday treat for my mum. We're both really into crafts and were looking for something local, and &ByDonnaReeves turned out to be the perfect place. The shop is warm, welcoming, and such a lovely space to spend time in. Donna went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Her skills are incredible, and i'm so happy to have such a lovely craft space right on our doorstep. I'll definitely be returning again soon.

We had SUCH a lovely, fun, wholesome time making our door numbers with Donna! Thank you for being so patient & kind while we were firing pieces of tile about the place...! would 100000% recommend to anyone - we are complete beginners to mosaic & Donna taught us all the techniques needed. SO chuffed with our pieces, thank you Donna!

- Olivia Wallis about Mosaic workshop
A group of 10 friends attended a beginners mosaic workshop at the weekend. Donna was such a patient teacher, and nothing phased her. Hot drinks & biscuits kept us going throughout the workshop. We have booked another one for March.

- Hazel Smith about beginner mosaic workshop
Had such an amazing time at the Sip&Paint event with my friends. Donna took such great care of us and guided us so well to create our own masterpieces! All materials were provided (as was the wine!) & she even let me decorate the area for my friends birthday. Donna went above and beyond for my group and we had such a fantastic time - highly recommend!!

- Sara Louise about sip & paint
I joined a few days of a mosaic course and absolutely loved it! It was a wonderful opportunity to try something new & unique, and I found it very relaxing and satisfying to see each piece of the mosaic come together. Donna is a fantastic teacher and very welcoming! Thank you so much!

I attend the social painting group on Fridays which is a friendly relaxed class of mixed ability. We are learning from scratch & Donna is very talented, informative and patient. I get totally engrossed in what we're doing & can lose myself for an hour or so. Lovely!

- Elsie Mitchell about Social Painting
I thoroughly enjoy my drawing classes with Donna. She is a gifted teacher - always patient but eager to move us in and try new techniques. The time flies by and I have learnt so much.

Luna Loves going to the art clubs! Every week, there is a new medium to explore, and so much to be had! It's also a great way to make new friends who also love being crafty.

— Luna & Charlotte about Kids Klub
My children love Donna's art club. She's a brilliant teacher, so inspiring & endlessly patient. They've experimented with so many different techniques and styles. They've also learnt more than art - patience, resilience and taking risks.

— Catherine about Kids Klub Friday
Poppy loves every minute of Donna's and always asks me how many sleeps it is until the next one when I have picked her up. She loves learning something new every week & has made friends with other art loving children. Donna is a superb teacher and is truly inspiring.

— Becca & Poppy about Kids Klub
My son has loved his time at Donna's art club. During each session he has the opportunity to explore his own creativity with Donna's gentle guidance & support. She is amazing with the children and they are always keen to share their progress with her. Donna also creates a very welcoming & inclusive environment for the parents tagging along!

Donna's art club is amazing! My daughter loves it. Donna is inspiring, patient, and brilliant! The variety of techniques keeps my daughter excited, and this class has become an essential part of her journey towards studying art at secondary school!
