Painting Workshops in Bristol

A couple of hours just for you.

My workshops aren't about creating the perfect painting. They're about slowing down, switching off from the busyness of life and giving yourself permission to create.

Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush before or haven't painted for years, you'll be warmly welcomed. I'll guide you every step of the way, and by the end you'll leave with a painting that's uniquely yours.

What to Expect

Each workshop includes:

Step-by-step guidance
Demonstrations and creative prompts
Acrylic painting techniques
Loose Florals • Intuitive Painting • Seasonal & Themed Workshops
Time to experiment and make the piece your own
A relaxed, supportive atmosphere

£30 per person (including materials)

You’ll leave with your own finished artwork and, hopefully, feeling creatively recharged.

Cancellations & Transfers

I completely understand that sometimes life happens and plans need to change.

Workshop bookings are non-refundable, as your place is reserved especially for you and materials and preparation are arranged in advance.

If you're unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible. With at least 48 hours' notice, I'm happy to transfer your booking once to another available workshop date.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of the workshop are non-refundable and cannot normally be transferred to another date.

Once a booking has been transferred, it cannot be transferred again or refunded.

If I ever need to cancel a workshop, you'll of course be offered a full refund or the option to transfer your booking to another date.
