In celebration of the final week of our Light in the Square exhibition at How Great Thou Art – Pop Up Gallery, I’m hosting my final public Paint Party of the year!
Bring your favourite drink (BYO), unwind, and enjoy a fun, hands-on painting experience as I guide you step by step through your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season — gather your team for a Christmas wrap-up, or treat someone to an early festive gift!
No skill level is required, as I guide the process step by step, making it easy for anyone to achieve.
