Looking for a fun way to unwind and try something new? Join a social painting class.
Hi Neighbours. We're passionate about making art more accessible to everyone 'cos art is not only super fun, it's totally therapeutic and good for you. Our goal is to spread art joy all over Wellington. Join us for a social painting class and get your art therapy while you create your masterpiece. Loads of fun local themed paintings to choose from including Island Bay, Lyall Bay and Matariki our friendly whale.
We've made our social painting classes easy to follow (even if you've never held a paint brush) to make it possible for anyone to create their own painting. We even provide all your materials and afternoon tea. Awesome.
We're under the rediculously red roof on the hill above the airport. Come join us, we'd love to paint with you.
