Most children who join Parsley Pie Art Club continue coming for many years! There are even a few children who have been attending since the art club started in 2001!
• “I first went to Parsley Pie Art Club in June 2003 when I was 7 years old and have been going every week since then, including during the summer holidays. I have always enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and it has been good fun but I have learnt a lot at the same time.
When I first started, the class was quite small however over the years more and more kids have started coming and it is a good place to meet and chat and laugh after school. I like the fact that I can make things such as clay bowls, ornaments etc as well as paint and draw. There is a large variety of different materials.
Jenny has always been really kind and helpful and I love all her cats and goats she keeps. It’s definitely not as intense as art can be at school!”
Philippa Higson aged 15
• “Ellie & Harvey both adore The Parsley Pie Art Club and especially Jenny. The standard of art that they are producing week after week is amazing, whether it be a painting, sculpture or clay art it is worthy to be displayed in any gallery – all thanks to the inspiration, patience and guidance of Jenny.” Kay Leggett
• “Lauren (aged 7 ) loves coming for her Saturday morning art class – your studio is her favourite place to go to and her art class her favourite time of the week.” Liz Hutchinson
• “Helena Goode 16, I have been attending for about 2 years
Really enjoy parsley pie, Jenny is always kind and helpful and I look forward to it loads! I plan to keep coming in the future, and strongly advise it to any other people of my age x” Helena Goode
• “It is fantastic that the children have such a huge range of things to do at Parsley Pie, I have never found another children’s activity where there is so much choice in each session! Jenny is a highly skilled, very creative & very patient teacher!”
Peter Davies, Knutsford
• “Harry (10) & Megan (8) love Parsley Pie art club! They have been coming for over 3 years mostly during the holidays as we live in Crewe. There isn’t any where else nearer to us that offers such an opportunity. Jenny is an inspiration & the choice of
activities is fantastic!” Sally Carter
• “Jenny is brilliant with kids, she brings out the best in them! My 2 boys love coming to Parsley Pie in the school holidays, I only wish we lived a bit nearer as i know they would like to come every week! Jenny & the art club are a great mix of professionalism, creativity & caring.”
J Bullock, Congleton
• “My daughter, Anna (seven very soon!), flung her arms up in the air with joy when I told that a space had become available for her to go to Parsley Pie Art Club on a weekly basis. She then quickly added, “So, can I go today?” with a smile on her face. Jenny is a wonderful example of an
individual giving something to the world rather than just taking!”
Abi Parker
• “Naaman Carr attended approx 5 years
Enjoys going to club enjoys mixing with the other people & enjoys doing art. A good club that allows children to chill & be creative. Always great seeing the new art works” – mum
• “Lucy has been attending the Parsley Pie Art Club for six years and relishes her Saturday mornings with Jenny! Lucy has a true passion for art and Jenny has nurtured and encouraged her artistic development. Lucy’s only dream is to be an artist like Jenny – with Jenny’s help her dream may come true!” Fiona Barker – Lucy Barker’s Mummy. Lucy is 11 years old.
• “Jenny Bent has given my sons the opportunity to experiment and develop their artistic side. She is patient, encouraging and brings out the best in them. Noah and Ben love going to her for a lesson and talk about it during the week before their next one. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to go somewhere where they feel ‘at home’ and really enjoy going to.” Amanda Curtis

Dearest Jenny, a dear friend of ours, Kate had been taking her daughter Tess to Parsley Pie daughter for a long time. On very special occasions, wonderful gifts would be given, that Tess had done with Jenny. After being thrilled by our unique gifts, I couldn’t wait for my little girl, Katy May, to join Tess on her fantastic journey of creativity. As soon as Katy May was old enough, age 5, off she went for her fab hour of fun. I can honestly say, Katy May has thoroughly enjoyed every single visit. She is now 6 and a half and has recently been joined by her little sister Gracie, Who has been chomping on the bit for what seems like an eternity to a 4 year old, to join her big sis and get in on the fun and the master piece production. My only concern is, we now have to find the money to buy our next door neighbours house, so we can knock through and create our very own gallery!

“Dear Jenny, I have had a really good time at art class. Especially when you put my favourite music on to make me dance, I really appreciate it. I also especially like it when you help me and show me how to do things, like when you showed me how to draw a deer on Ella’s birthday present. I hope you like my plant pot I did for you as a special thank you gift and I’m really going to miss you whilst I’m on my holidays. Tons of love, Katy May”

“Dear Jenny, Thank you for helping me draw a troll witch, my Mum loved it.
Love Gracie xxxx”
• ‘Cloey (aged 5) enjoys coming to Parsley Pie Art because the club gives her a chance to use her imagination to create the things that she likes. The club provides all the materials that are needed, and the teacher is very kind, patient and experienced. Cloey likes her teacher very much and she has made a lot of new friends in the club. Cloey enjoys the process of creating her works, and feels proud of herself when her works are finished. Classes are organised in small groups, every children are well care and supervised. I would highly recommend the club for any parents whose children are interested in drawing, painting, or making crafty stuff. I’m sure your child would have a great time there!’
