Playful Art & Craft Sessions for Adults
Creative, colourful, confidence-boosting sessions for grown-ups who want to relax, play and make something fabulous.
Every Thursday at 12.30pm & 6.30pm — a brand-new playful project each week.
Welcome to Playful Art & Craft Sessions
These sessions are all about FUN.
Letting go.
Laughing.
Experimenting.
Rediscovering that lovely creative spark you had as a kid — minus the dodgy school glue and felt-tip pens.
No pressure. No perfectionism.
Just playful, colourful, wildly enjoyable creativity for grown-ups who are ready to unwind.
Whether you come along in the afternoon or treat yourself to an evening out, Thursdays are for YOU.
How Playful Thursdays Work
Every week, a brand-new creative adventure.
Same cosy studio, same joyful energy — always beginner-friendly.
Join us at 12.30pm for a daytime creative escape or 6.30pm for an after-work playful unwind.
Come weekly, dip in whenever you fancy, or book the sessions that call to you.
Your creativity, your rules.
The Weekly Line Up
WEEK 1 — Back to School Art Class for Adults
The nostalgic, joy-filled art lesson where anything could happen.

You arrive not knowing what we’re doing — that’s part of the magic.
We might explore:
✨ Shaving foam marbling
✨ Bubble prints
✨ Watercolour splatters
✨ Tape-resist magic
✨ Chalk pastel blending
✨ Ink experiments
✨ Or something we dreamed up five minutes ago
It’s silly. It’s messy. It’s freeing.
And it reminds you how good it feels to just play.
Vibe: nostalgia + laughter + creative chaos
Result: colourful fingers, relaxed shoulders, big smiles
