TESTIMONIAL

 "Taking part in this Year's Macfest 2023 Festival has been a very enjoyable and extremely supportive experience.  

Their team is simply wonderful not forgetting Qaisra herself! I have been a huge admirer of Macfest, and an avid attendee of their brilliant past events, particularly their creative workshops. So to be able to take part in this year's Macfest activities as a visual artist, by delivering my creative workshop has been sublime"!
