Reviews
A very enjoyable three days spent with Simon at South Coast Studio on the 1-to-1 bespoke decorative courses, Having over 36 years experience as a Painter & Decorator and also 17 years teaching in Further Education I have learnt so much over the past three days. CPD is so important and I would 100 percent recommend.

Art of Marbling & Wood Graining Studio Workshop
Great course. Simon was an excellent teacher and talked and walked through explanations and examples very simply. The workshop was great and the pace of the course was spot on. Highly recommend it to those interested in these courses.
