Reviews

"Totally out of my comfort zone and loving every second at the Nest. If, like me, you haven't picked up a pencil or a tube of paint since school then these workshops are like a road map back to creative freedom when long happy hours were lost to colouring, mark making, sketching, making shadows with charcoal and drawing lips and eyes - just because. Plus soothing, freeing-up yoga from Lottie and a seriously delicious vegan lunch, cookies and cake."
Jess Johnson (Feature Writer) 

"Such an amazing day spent at the Nest. With amazing food in a nurturing environment; sure to bring out the creative side in everyone! Would recommend to anyone and everyone." 
Dom Edwards (Business student)

"I did a one day painting course with Lydia- she is a fantastic and inspiring teacher. Beautiful surroundings and home made lunch. I’m definitely going to book in for some more!"

Frances Bebb (CEO)

"As an advertising creative, I am used to being, well, creative! and thinking laterally for a living. But what I didn't know - and thanks to Lydia and my time at the Nest I got to see/feel it - was where I was limiting myself through my own perfectionism. I was able to to experience where, in my own flow, I was stopping my own creativity. That's a really powerful thing to feel. Lydia creates a very open and honest space for this... and it doesn't matter if you don't paint, write, draw. It wasn't about that at all.

I also loved that we were a small group and I got to meet new people and eat a delicious lunch together. It was the whole experience for me!"
Charlotte Burn-Callander (Copywriter)

"Lydia is a deeply caring and incredibly creative person who wants the best for all. The session I attended helped me to let go of expectations, relax and get back in touch with my creative side I thought had gone. 
The Nest is a very exciting new concept, alot of time and thought has gone in to creating this. I would highly recommend The Nest and Lydia's approach."
