“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up” Picasso
Experience the freedom of self-expression
Self expression is a beautiful thing, the feeling of connecting to your soul and expressing that is something, I believe, we all need to do in order to be all we can be.
Step into a safe space, connect to your soul and let what’s inside flow onto a canvas
This is an opportunity to go on an inner journey. To discover hidden depths, amplify a moment in time, a thought, a feeling or a connection. Connecting into something that is meaningful in itself can be a profound experience, but when you have the opportunity to express and capture that on canvas it becomes something that will last forever.
What to expect
During this unique and spiritual art class, Kate will guide you as you let it all out in a fun and expressive way using paint.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before, there’s no right or wrong in this workshop, so you are free to get messy, colourful and just have fun with it.
During the workshop, your calming tutor will help you to tune into an inner desire through a relaxing, guided meditation. Enjoy the opportunity to completely switch off from the outside world and reconnect to yourself, whilst you immerse yourself in the process and find your flow state.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have created a uniquely personal painting to take home and inspire you daily. After the session, you will leave with a sense of calm connectedness, and an amazing piece of art to remind you of your newly discovered happy place.

Probably not! Your artwork will probably take a couple of days to dry properly and then it may need to be varnished. I will varnish it for you and arrange to either send it or for you to collect it from the studio
