How It Works
That painting gathering dust in your closet deserves a second act. This isn't about destruction, it's about liberation, no rules, no mistakes, just colour, texture, and imagination coming together in unexpected ways.
Step 1: Choose your piece.
Bring artwork you've fallen out of love with, or start fresh on a new canvas. No old art on hand? We keep a small selection of pieces and materials available to work from.
Step 2: Pick your size.
Select Rebel, Fearless, or XL based on your piece's dimensions, this sets your price and whether a new base is included.
Step 3: Create, guided.
Join us in session. Our team walks you through paint, collage, and mixed media techniques, no experience needed.
Step 4: Leave transformed.
Walk out with a piece that actually brings you joy, plus all materials, drinks, and snacks included throughout.

Upcoming Workshops
Every 3rd Saturday, we run a workshop no matter how many people sign up. Come alone or bring company; we'll make sure you have a wonderful creative experience. Optional: Drop in with an art project you already have underway and finish it (or move it forward) in a safe joyful environment and get expert help when you need it.
Portrait Party and Little Painters Painting are run individually. If you are interested in these two workshops or BYOA, please contact us here.
Common Questions
I don't have old art to bring, can I still join?
Yes. We keep a small selection of pieces to wreck, plus new canvas bases, and collage materials, if you don't have something of your own to transform.
I've never done anything like this before.
That's exactly who these workshops are for. No experience is required, our sessions are built to be approachable from the very first brushstroke, whatever your starting point.
What if I don't see a date that works for me?
Reach out through our contact page. We regularly add new sessions and can let you know what's coming up next.
Can I pay for the workshop when I arrive?
Confirm your reservation at least 2 days before the workshop starts by paying the fee in full. Not any different than buying concert, theatre, or baseball tickets. We must receive payment in advance to prepare for your participation, including all art supplies, snacks, and drinks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
