Here are recent comments from our customers.  Here's something else - you can always talk to the people that gave us such great feedback!  So if a hen to hen chat would be helpful, just let us know.

You were brilliant at putting us all at ease, it's a bit strange to have a naked man in front of you but we got over it quicker than we thought we would! Eventually we actually forgot what we were drawing and put our efforts into making our works of art as accurate as possible. It was also really great that you guided us through and gave us genuinely useful tips on scale/shading etc - our drawings during the last pose were far improved on the first! I'd definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to do something a little bit different but still a bit cheeky on their hen do.

"I couldn't recommend Tony and the life drawing enough, It was a really great activity and everyone really got in to the drawing. Tony was really helpful giving hints and tips so it really felt you were learning as well as having fun! The session was really tailored for the group and all the hen's came away from the session really buzzing! The initial nerves were soon forgotten and everyone had a great time. Thank you Tony for being a great sport!"

"Tony was nothing but helpful and accomodating right from the initial enquiry. At the life drawing he hit the perfect balance between a serious class where we all actually learnt something; and also a really good laugh in a relaxed atmosphere. It is the perfect warm up to a night out and I would recommend it to any hen do - as it breaks the ice, makes everyone laugh, brings people together, and is actually interesting and enlightening at the same time"

"We were all pretty badly behaved but despite our outrageous bahaviour Tony somehow managed to keep order and teach us something!  We were all amazed at his self-confidence in the face of sixteen wild women and his willingness to go the extra mile to make our party a success.  All the girls said it was just a shame we had to stop when we did!  Thanks again!"

"Right from the first enquiry Tony provided an extremely professional service, responding quickly to my e-mails and providing lots of info on how the sessions work. On the day itself he was brilliant at putting people at ease and giving just the right balance between humour and guidance on how to draw. The age range of our group was 21-63 and everybody really enjoyed themselves, proudly taking their pictures home at the end. I would not hesitate to recommend Hen Life Drawing and in particular Tony."

Wow a fantastic experience. You know when sometimes you get a group of ladies together and there is always 1 or 2 of them who aren't happy with something - cost? don't like that? boring? embarrassing? Well this was nothing at all like that. Tony tailored the session to allay any fears or nerves there were in the room. No-one was particularly experienced in drawing but we all came away proud of what we had created. Tony offered some great tips and lots of fun and laughs during the day. He was such an attentive and chatty bloke that everyone warmed to him. He was very open to suggestion about what we did and kept in touch before the day to make sure everything ran smoothly. A very professionally run service that I cannot fault in the slightest.
 
I can't recommend this experience enough. It broke the ice as some people didn't know each other before the weekend. It gave us something in common to talk about and beats rock-climbing hands down - no-one got chafed knees and elbows. It was something everyone regardless of age or ability could get involved in. It made my hen night one I'll never forget and neither will anyone else. Oh yes - and Tony is absolutely gorgeous!

“I would highly recommend Tony’s Life Drawing Class to anyone planning a hen party. From the outset, Tony was extremely helpful and made the whole experience - from booking, up to the actual class - easy & stress free. We all had so much fun, Tony made us feel completely relaxed & I think I can speak for the group when I say the experience far exceeded what we actually expected. The two hours flew by….and we actually learned something!”

Such a fantastic hen do idea, the girls loved it & actually felt like
we learnt something too! The time went by so quick - maybe that was the alcohol though!

"Thank you for such a fantastic session! It was a great surprise for the bride-to-be and she loved the whole thing! Thanks for all the laughs and for making it fun and interesting with the different activities - I hope the group weren't too rowdy for you!! I think it was definitely a first for everyone and I'm sure will be talked about for quite some time! Thank you also for getting the photo's across to me so quickly! I'd already been bugged for them by the girls who wanted to 're-live' the event!! Thanks for everything Tony - you are now a legend amongst us ladies ;-)!"

From the moment I contacted Tony about a life-drawing class for my
best friend's hen-do, he did his upmost to make the session as
well-planned and hassle-free as possible. He was happy to answer any
queries and even gave me the past clients' details so that I could ask
them about him myself (glowing reports, of course!). On the day, Tony
was keen to take the session is whatever direction we wanted, but was
also great at guiding us when we didn't know what to do. All in all,
the class was fun and easy going, but at the same time we learnt a lot
and I'm sure all the other girls had a great time too.

We had a fantastic session; I think everyone got a lot better at drawing by the end!! We may even have some changes of career on our hands! All the activities were fun but informative and I think everyone was put at ease with your professional attitude!! I think the hens surprised themselves with how conservative they actually were! I have forwarded on your message to all 'chooks' so they can recommend you!

Just a quick e-mail from the everyone at our Hen Party in Brighton last week. Thanks for a fab afternoon-filled with surprise, laughter and fun plus some serious concentration and effort! We had a great time. Nobody had ever experienced anything like it before and it was the talk of the whole weekend, we even found some talented artists amongst us which was a surprise! Thanks again, it's an experience we'll never forget!

Thanks once again for the awesome life drawing class! It
went down so well, Kate absolutely loved it. You pitched
the whole class really well - the right mix of fun and a
lesson in life drawing!

Thanks once again, I will recommend you to others!

"If you are thinking about having a life-drawing session at your hen party then book Tony- you won't regret it. He was professional, charming and very easy to get along with and the tone was just right- tasteful but good fun too for a hen party. He is a great tutor, and makes sure everyone gets the most out of the session- there were lots of budding artists at the end. Everyone had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to use Tony again or recommend him to my friends."

All the girls absolutely loved the session you did for our hen party - it made the day! A couple of girls recently said to me that they had hen envy as they wish they had used you and the activity for their hen and i have already been asked for your contact details by a couple of other girls who are organising hens.  It was a huge amount of fun, a lot of giggles had by all yet at the same time you left feeling you had learnt something. Tony you organised an affordable, fun, informative and memorable occasion - thank you.

Thanks for participating in our hen weekend!  Was really enjoyable and everyone had a really good time. Not an experience many will forget in a hurry!

"The photos are excellent and a fantastic memory of what was a brilliant afternoon! We didn't want a tacky or cheesy hen party, and the life drawing session was a great alternative that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. From the art teacher to the mother of the bride, there was something for everyone and all the girls were pleasantly surprised by and enthusiastic about the activity. We'll definately be recommending it to everyone we know!"

"Thanks so much for a fantastic evening Tony!  Everyone had a hoot!"

"All the girls seriously enjoyed themselves - you were certainly a highlight! Thanks for making it happen Tony as everyone loved doing the life drawing - it couldn't have been more perfect. "

"Absolutely superb entertainment for a hen weekend. We had a range of ages at our event, and this was a perfect way of introducing some fun without being tacky. Tony was brilliant at making people feel at ease, and even though some people felt a bit weird at the beginning they soon settled down and got into the spirit of things. Tony's drawing tips were also great, and by the end of the session everyone was producing a decent quality of drawing, even those who had no drawing experience. A brilliant day and very good value for money as well."

"A so-called professional set up was anything but professional in trying to put us off using Tony.  Very poor form.  When we spoke to Tony he was impartial and helpful.  All we would say to anyone thinking of booking him is you won't regret it!  He's the complete professional and utterly charming"

"i had great feedback from all the girls i was actually surprised how quiet they all were when drawing but i guess they were all concentrating a lot!!  One girl said how original it was and that its good for a mixed age group as its not at all offensive. "

"thanks for everything! You were definitely the right choice and the girls really enjoyed it!  Would like to add that you were a perfect gentleman and a rather charming one at that ;-)"

"You are officially on my "tried-and-tested" list (and to think i nearly went with Pottery painiting... christ!) and all the girls have your details and you were the most talked about topic at dinner today .... and so hopefully you should recieve many future calls..."

"Tony was great, made the whole thing not intimidating and get us all to fall in love drawing. Very interesting session, would recommend to other people for various occasions not only a hen do. Really good experience which left me lovely memories!!!!"

"While planning our friends hen weekend we came across the usual hen ideas - strippers, butler in the buff, hitting the pubs, but we had either experienced most of these at prior hens or just didn't want to be faced with a greasey chippendale!

Then we came across the concept of hen life drawing - unusual we thought. At first I was a bit apprehensive thinking it could be full on and totally uncomfortable, but after having reassuring conversation with Tony I thought we should go for it. So glad we did.

Tony was very professional and made us all feel at ease. He came equppied with all the pads, pencils and gave us a good overview of how the session would run. Of course there were giggles but we were on a hen do after all. I'd defintely recommend Tony for those who want to inject fun without it being tackey and full on! We all had a great couple of hours and the hen certainly enjoyed herself"

"The pictures don't do you justice either actually - you look even better in the flesh!"

"I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone."

We are already confirming bookings as far ahead as July 2011!!!!!

So don't miss out, particularly if you are planning a party in the Spring/Summer.  That's peak time!
