“I got the pleasure of visiting Acres of Art as a part of team bonding for my work. It was absolutely lovely to spend our time there and Penny was a great and kind coach.Our group painted the dragonfly and it was great as everyone had their own take on it. Can highly recommend it.The location is also fabulous out in Pakenham on some nice farm land but still quite close. The cows and views are lovely.
