An island I know from previous family holidays - but our week was a revelation.
Shona’s organisation in terms of knowing the weather, the different states of the tides and when to be where was invaluable. Returning to a beach a few times gave very different results and was a great learning experience.
Shona has a gift for quietly instructing and knowing what each client needs, boosting confidence as we all learn new techniques and allowing everyone the space to play and learn at their own pace.
And excitement about all our experiences. Thank you so much for creating a space where I could try and explore your painterly methods to create images I have always dreamed of making. Your patience and continual assistance with me to learn how to use my camera as a paintbrush is greatly appreciated. A new form of creativity was unleashed and it was glorious. I learned so much from everyone in our group and found their images inspiring. And we laughed and laughed…such fun!
