We are having a Paint Social at Matthews Yard on Thursday 1st June and we'd love you to join us!

Join First Floor Space for an evening of fun and creativity at our Paint Social.

Each guest will create their painting on an individual canvas that they will take away with them at the end of the night. You don’t need any prior artistic experience, this is a great chance to try something new and express yourself in a relaxed environment.

We will begin with an introduction to the materials and techniques we’ll be using, and guests can choose a pre-made image they would like to paint or have time to sketch out an original design. Guests will be guided through the process of creating their own unique painting, we will show you how to experiment with colours, textures, and different brush strokes to help you achieve your desired results.

We will be upstairs at Matthew’s Yard and guests are welcome to order food and drinks from the restaurant downstairs to enjoy throughout the workshop.
