Testimonials

The children all really enjoyed the session. They had fun and learnt new information and it encouraged them to think about the impact they can have on their environment as well as the beach can be helpful to them and their well being. School Teacher

 

 

Thank you so much for your thought provoking workshop. The children and I loved listening to you and seeing how saltwater can help overcome the toughest of challenges! They enjoyed designing their positive pebbles and have already said that they’d like to make more as a stall for the summer fete or for children who go to our learning and pastoral support group to help them think positively.'  Vicky, Teacher

'I just wanted to feedback on my daughter who I believe had a video call with you at Nyewood Infants. She was buzzing from it and clearly took lots in from the chat.  We even ended up swimming in the sea yesterday! I just wanted to share the positive news!' Parent of workshop participant

Thank you for chatting about art with me...I've got lots of beach combed objects found in the big storms about 10 years ago...I've still got them and although hidden in the undergrowth in my garden...perhaps days session has inspired me to dig the weird and wonderful things out and get creating.

It was genuinely beautiful to sit by the shore listening to the waves while watching talented people work their magic. It was very peaceful. I came away definitely better for the experience.’ Saltwater Sketchers participant

'I'm going to paint the sea and add all my favourite things to it after, like goal posts and footballs so we can play football on my beach'. Young Person, Youth setting


'Last night I went to the beach and collected shells and drift wood for my Son’s birthday party. Honestly Jules, your session has changed my life! Thank you so much.  Also, we have two surf boards and I can’t surf but am now considering your idea of just paddling on it when the weather is getting better. ' Youth Worker

 

It has improved my mood. By taking away a creation to enjoy and I've always loved the sea, so its just given me more reason to visit the sea again with a fresh outlook. To be able to collect "things" that the sea has thrown out and use them for a new purpose and to enjoy that new creation. Vitamin Sea workshop Participant

 

 

Jules's passion for what she does is wonderfully infectious - you can see it makes other people want to take a piece of it into their own lives. Workshop Participant

 

The session gave a really great way to connect with new people, by doing the art together the conversation flowed naturally, so it really helped with making new connections. Sketchers Participant
