#### WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE PART?

I provide Basic Supplies, paint, paper and some painting utensils which will be a solid foundation for you to get started.

As you build up your confidence through the sessions you may want to bring other Bonus Supply items with you if you want, such as what is listed below, but it is not essential.

If it’s your first time, just come along, and we will take care of you. Just make sure you bring an open mind, messy clothes and shoes.

Bonus supplies:

Mess protection – A dust sheet – plastic or fabric (an old double duvet cover can work well)

Whatever you want to create on? – Wooden panels, card, canvas boards or canvasses (whatever you prefer to paint on)

Something to mix paints on – A palette pad, plate or something sturdy and water-resistant you can use as a palette

Colours to use – Your favourite-coloured acrylic paints, watercolours or non-toxic artist materials

Something to paint with or prep with – Masking tape, brushes and palette knives; whatever you prefer to paint with, you may also want to experiment with geometric shapes, so rulers, compasses, string and un-usual bits and bobs can make for an interesting play/experimentation experience. I use plastic cutlery, straws, sponges, and whatever I think will create interesting marks.

### WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE THINKING ABOUT JOINING THIS SESSION?

“Do it! Depending on who you are, it may take some time to adjust your mindset to a more “abstract” way of thinking, but it’s a journey into yourself and your perceptions. You don’t need to be “creative” or think you’re creative, as the workshop extracts so much. There’s no judgment; it’s playing and definitely worth it!” Michelle

“Definitely, a worthwhile experience, even if painting isn’t your thing. There’s some things that can help change your approach to things.” Luke

“It’s very cathartic, and you’ll get out what you put in. At the very least, you’ll make new friends.” Trevor

“It’s definitely worth a try. You never know what/how much you’ll learn about yourself.” Andy

“Give yourself time and space to grow and push your boundaries in a safe space.” Sophie

“JFDI .. you will learn things about yourself.” Rishi

“Do it. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday” Jade

“It’s very cathartic, and you should join.” Tabitha

“Don’t overthink it going in.” Angus

“Highly recommend it!” Martin

“Suitable for anyone.” Barnie

“Definitely do it.” Ashley
