And we're back doing what we love! This week was the first week back at my weekly art classes and we started the term off with these animal themed clay pinch pots.

Next week they'll be painted and glossed ready to take home 😁

After a lovely summer break, I was straight back into it yesterday with a painting party for a wonderful group of girls celebrating their friend’s 12th birthday.

The theme was Jellycats, and I hand-drew each Jellycat the birthday girl requested so they could all enjoy painting their favourites. It was such a fun setup, and honestly, the excitement in the room was brilliant from start to finish.

Because the girls were aged 11 and 12, I gave them a brief demonstration, then they took over completely. They mixed all their own colours and added their own shading, which was fantastic to see. They were so focused, so creative, and so confident with it all.

Every single one of them did an amazing job, and they all went home with a really cute painting they could be proud of.

Thank you so much for booking with me. I absolutely loved hosting this for you all. And I have to say, wow, what an incredible cake the birthday girl’s mum made. It was gorgeous and so on theme 😁

This morning’s painting party was such a special one.

I hosted it for a lovely girl who has been coming to my weekly art classes for the past year, and it’s been amazing to watch her confidence grow so much through her art. When she asked if I could draw a cartoon version of her dog, Luna, I was more than happy to. I always like my birthday painting parties to feel personal, and this one was no exception.

I showed the group how to mix different shades and build up layers to create the different tones in Luna’s fur, and they absolutely nailed it. For 6 and 7 year olds, they did incredibly well. They listened, were very polite and they really embraced the process.💖

After a short break for birthday treats, they came back ready to make their paintings even more unique. Each child personalised their Luna piece by designing a different party hat, and that’s always one of my favourite parts — seeing how creative they get when they’re given the freedom to make it their own.

It was a morning full of colour, personality, and so much joy. All the girls can be very proud of themselves and have taken home fantastic finished paintings. 🎉☘️🎨💖

This week marked our final Summer art workshop, and we ended it on a high.

We created bold, colourful tie-dye T-shirts that turned out amazing. Every design was different, and that’s what made it so special. The energy in the room was brilliant, and it was great to see everyone experimenting with colour, pattern, and creativity.

We also spent time building new drawing skills. The focus was on developing techniques that helped us create these wonderful character drawings with more confidence and detail. It was fantastic to see those skills come together so clearly in each finished piece.

I'll be having a little break until our weekly art classes start back September 7th.

Looking forward to sharing more beautiful artwork then 🙂💖

Another lovely week of Summer workshops with an amazing bunch of young artists. This week the focus was on acrylic painting techniques and as you can see they all created masterpieces 🎨🧑‍🎨

Summer holidays are in full flow, and my first workshop of the summer was such a joy. 😄

I spent the day with a brilliant group of girls, who completely threw themselves into it. We started by designing their own tote bags and pencil cases, then brought them to life with fabric paints. I always love this part, because it gives everyone the chance to make something that feels personal, practical, and completely their own.

After lunch, we moved on to watercolour, and I showed them a few simple techniques to create summery scenes. Just a few easy methods can open up so much creativity, and it was lovely to see them build confidence as they experimented.
There was so much focus, imagination, and excitement from start to finish.

I'll share more photos with you all next week. Enjoy this beautiful sunshine in the meantime 🌞
