Art Shed Sessions

Relaxed, Guided Acrylic Painting for Adults

Take two hours for yourself each week to unwind, be creative, and enjoy painting in a welcoming, friendly space. These small-group sessions are designed for adults of all abilities — whether you’re returning to art after a break or picking up a brush for the first time.

Sessions aren’t formal classes — think of them as a creative club, where people come together each week to relax, chat, and explore painting in a supportive environment. Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll be welcomed into a creative, relaxed and nurturing environment.

What to Expect

Each week has a clear theme, giving you a starting point, while still allowing the freedom to make your artwork your own. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance if you want it, but you can work at your own pace.

You can expect:

Friendly, small-group atmosphere
Guidance and support tailored to your needs
Choice of reference images, styles, and tools
A finished piece to take home — or the option to continue your work in future sessions

No experience is needed — these sessions are about enjoying the process, expressing yourself, and leaving with something you’re proud of.

What You’ll Experience

Every session is slightly different, giving you room to explore and grow, while still being gently guided. You can expect:

Creative time in a small, friendly group
Expert guidance and demonstrations of tools, materials, and techniques
Opportunities to experiment with mixed media, layering, and textures
Space to explore mark-making, colour, and pattern
Encouragement to develop your own visual language
Freedom to work at your own pace while trying new approaches

Each week we explore a different theme, offering variety and inspiration — from expressive abstraction to more structured realism.

Full details of upcoming themes for each session are available when you book, so you can choose the sessions that appeal most to you.

While many sessions explore intuitive painting, mixed media and expressive techniques, The Art Shed is flexible to your interests - whether you’re drawn to expressive abstraction or more structured realism.
