At Painted Palms, our mission is to create a space where people can and reconnect with their creativity, find presence and let go of life’s stresses all whilst socialising and having fun.

Every workshop is led by an experienced teacher, with plenty of space for you to experiment and make it your own. We host most of our classes in welcoming spaces like coffee shops, galleries, bars, and pubs, creating a laid-back atmosphere where you can unwind, get inspired, and most importantly, have fun.

An Experience for everyone

“We had so much fun at our acrylic painting workshop, Ellie’s mindful, welcoming approach made us feel totally as ease. It was so relaxing”.

“I can’t recommend Painted Palms enough, we booked a private event for a birthday and had the best time. Everything from the easels to the aprons were such good quality ”

“I learnt so much in my Lino workshop and managed to produce something I was actually quite proud of. The workshop was so well run which made it easy to follow instructions. Definitely will be trying another one”
