Art and Craft Socials

Enjoy an evening of art, laughter, and creativity with ShaziArt.



2 hours Class size 1 to 2 guests       £15

Join my Creative Socials Collection for a fun and inspiring workshop designed to bring people together in a relaxed, social setting.
My name is Shazia Naqib, and as an artist, painter, and multidisciplinary designer with a background in both fine art and wellbeing, I guide each activity to be inclusive, welcoming, and focused on the joy of making. You don't need any experience to take part – just an openness to experiment and enjoy the creative process. In each workshop, I provide all the materials you'll need, so you can simply settle in, connect with others, and create something beautiful.
You can learn how to get creative with a variety of hands-on projects, including:
  • Decorating elegant wine glasses with your own custom designs
  • Giving seasonal pumpkins an artistic twist in a festive session
  • Exploring intricate henna-inspired patterns
  • Discovering the calming beauty of watercolour painting
This activity is a wonderful opportunity to try something new, whether you come alone or with friends. You will share laughter and conversation while learning new skills in a supportive environment. You'll finish the session feeling uplifted, taking home not just your handcrafted piece, but also a wonderful sense of accomplishment.
What you'll get
A completed artwork. A passion to explore more art techniques. A great sense of achievement, fulfilment and relaxation. They will feel joyful and creative.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly classes
What to bring
Nothing but themselves with passion; energy and positive vibes.

Hello, I’m Shazia, an artist, painter, photographer, and designer based in the UK. Creativity has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I started painting as a way to explore colour, emotion, and mindfulness, and over time it grew into not just a career, but a passion I love to share with others.
The pivotal moment for me was realising how art could be more than just something beautiful on a canvas — it could be a source of calm, healing, and self-expression. That’s why I began hosting painting workshops, including creative sessions like wine glass painting and calm, meditative art classes. Seeing people relax, laugh, and discover their own creativity during a class is what excites me most about teaching.
I’ve had the privilege of working across many creative fields — from fine art and photography to graphic design, illustration, and UI/UX projects — and I bring all of those experiences into my workshops. My academic background includes a postgraduate degree in psychiatry from Cardiff University, which deepens my understanding of the connection between art and wellbeing.
Something special about my journey is that I’ve combined both formal training and lived creativity — exhibiting artwork, publishing books, creating design projects, and building a professional art brand, ShaziArt. My workshops are not just about technique — they’re about connection, play, and discovering joy in creativity, no matter your background or experience.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, a team looking for a unique bonding activity, or someone seeking a mindful break from daily life, my classes are designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and fun.
