"Delightful courses with fab food"

I have been on a couple of Emma's courses - flower painting and the colour course. Emma is a delightful and encouraging teacher and most of all, makes the whole course so much fun. The food is amazing and I can't recommend these courses highly enough.

"ART INSPIRATION WITH LOVELY PEOPLE."

Having found Bradness Gallery when I first moved to this area - visiting with my mother and sister for tea and cake - it has become a place I return to often. I have taken three of Emma's courses - all of which I thoroughly enjoyed, learned a lot, and appreciate Emma's teaching style, advice and wisdom. I always book on the follow on days as these are so delightful - to paint for a day with other like minded folk, to chat and share, to sit in the beautiful garden for tea or coffee, and to pick up other little nuggets of artist information. I persuaded my sister to come on a Flower Painting Course - having never painted before - and she had such a good time, she has become totally addicted to painting. I love it! That's what Mike and Emma do at Bradness - they are an inspirational couple. Thank you for being there.

"Bradness Gallery is a very special Place."

Bradness Gallery is a very special place, created and run by Emma Burnett and Micheal Cruikshank.
On arrival you you immediately feel at ease in such a stunning location and Garden, a little enclave of Sussex paradise.
Emma and Mike are truly inspirational, not only for there beautiful paintings, lampshades and cards, but I also highly recommend their short creative courses too - what a great experience and so well put together - all complimented by delicious homemade food - lunch in the garden and meeting new friends was a real treat.
I’m already looking forward to next time!
Thank you Emma and Mike :)

"Bradness Gallery is coffee and cake for…"

Bradness Gallery is coffee and cake for the soul. Beautiful artwork and the warmest welcome by Mike and Emma, tranquil and picturesque garden, delicious food at events and courses and, of course, unbeatable home made cake and fresh coffee. I love it here

"Bradness gallery is a special place…"

Bradness gallery is quite simply a very special place. It is soul food. A haven, offering beautiful art, warmth, beauty, inspiration and tranquility.
The painting courses are wonderful. I am a beginner and have done Emma's flower painting course twice. Whilst a huge art lover I was lacking in confidence about my own ability. Under Emma's excellent instruction I quickly lost my inhibitions, and surprised myself by producing some work I would never have previously imagined. I would like to try all the courses offered by both artists. The gallery location with its stunning garden is also a treat, and feast for the senses. The gallery, hosting both Michael and Emma's beautiful artwork so worth a visit. Michael's beautiful landscape paintings of Sussex, Cornwall and France (to name but a few) are unique and exceptional in their use of light and mood. Quite magical. Emma's abstract and floral paintings with her use of colour are also just beautiful. I own three of their prints and quite a number of Emma's amazing hand painted lampshades. They literally 'make' a room, offering a whole new look and feel. I have received many compliments about them,
Both artists genuine warmth and passion for what they do is infectious, leaving you feeling inspired, nourished, invigorated and enveloped in a special 'after glow'. The courses, also accompanied by delicious home cooked lunches, actually make the whole experience a mini holiday. I cannot recommend this gallery, its courses and wonderful owners highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

"3 day watercolour course"

My sister and I did a 3 day watercolour course with Emma a little while ago and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Emma is an excellent teacher and made the experience fun and very informative. The setting, relaxed atmosphere and not forgetting the delicious food are not forgotten. I hope to return to do another course sometime soon.
Thank you,

"Bradness Gallery is my happy place"

Bradness Gallery is my happy place, I return several times a year to do follow up painting days having done several courses. Mike and Emma are so encouraging and positive, and under their tutelage my paintings have improved immensely.
Also it is always such fun as there are other like-minded people to chat to, especially at yummy lunchtimes. We always have coffee and lunch outside in the lovely garden when the weather is kind, and the feeling of being miles away from anywhere adds an extra feeling of well being as the birds sing and the cows pass by over the fence.

"Absolutely delighted......"

We discovered Michael's lovely gallery whilst out walking and received a very warm welcome. He is clearly very passionate about his painting and extremely talented. We were absolutely over the moon with painting we commissioned from him and would highly recommend a visit.

"How to explain the Bradness Gallery"

How to explain the Bradness Gallery? This place is so unique.
Although I cannot draw very well I love painting abstracts and on the courses I have attended Emma has encouraged me to feel free to express things in my own way whilst passing on her endless
technical knowledge and advice.
All this in a beautiful setting and with delicious food.
Additionally there’s an option to look around the gallery of Emma and Michaels own beautiful paintings which are for sale.
The Bradness Gallery is a happy place. Whether you go to learn or just to look I feel sure you will enjoy it and leave feeling somehow enriched.
