Paint & Pause

17/06/2026

✨🎨😴 Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’ve forgotten to make time for yourself?? Paint & Pause isn’t about creating perfect art…

It’s actually about switching off the noise for a couple of hours, enjoying a cuppa, meeting lovely people and giving yourself permission to slow down to improve your wellbeing.

No prior experience required. No pressure. No judgement whatsoever.

Just gentle watercolour painting, journalling, relaxation and a cosy atmosphere designed to help you recharge.

Many guests arrive saying they’re “not creative” and leave feeling calmer, lighter and surprised by what they’ve created.

📅 Tuesday 14th July : 7-9pm
📅 Tuesday 21st July : 7-9pm

💷 £25 first session (includes your own art journal to keep)
💷 £20 returning guests

✔ All materials provided
✔ Refreshments included
✔ Small friendly group

Spaces are limited now for 21st July and booking is essential.
Message me to reserve your place and I’ll send full venue details once your booking is confirmed.

Missing tea - just an update on the missing tea from Tuesdays session. It turns out I’d put it in a “safe place” in one of the kitchen cupboards 🤷🏻‍♀️ mystery solved!

Stay tuned for July and August dates releasing soon 🗓️

🕯️✨🎨 I’ve got a birthday candle that smells absolutely incredible and I can’t wait to light it for our session tonight - I couldn’t not share it with you. It’s going to be a very cosy evening. ✨
