Our Studio

Our permanent studio at Five Valleys in Stroud provides a welcoming and inspiring setting for private events.

Filled with natural light, creative materials and a relaxed atmosphere, it's the perfect place to slow down, learn something new and enjoy time together.

Our studio is ideal for smaller private groups looking for an intimate and fully hosted creative experience.

Retreats & Festivals

We're passionate about taking creativity beyond the studio.

Painted Palms partners with retreats, wellness experiences, festivals and community events to deliver engaging creative workshops that encourage people to unwind, connect and explore their creativity.
