Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a link to join the interactive class.
In this online art class, you will learn face painting techniques for a fun and colourful adventure.
Whether you're looking for a creative activity to do with your kids, to decorate guests at your party or event, or maybe fancy opening up a stall at a fair, everyone will have fun with this body painting class.
You'll be guided by a friendly and talented teacher, Cat, who has been an award winning face and body painter for 26 years. She's been UK Professional Painter of the Year, 5th in the World Face Awards, etc, spent years creating 100 faces daily at an attraction, taught art and crafts for Hobbycraft for 8 years as well as creating all their facepaint ads / tutorials during that time, and tours with big brands like Disney or Walkers painting faces to their themes, or attends major Prides and festivals with British Airways.
She has loads of experience teaching all ages internationally, and knows the products and equipment you need on your face painting journey. She will cover health and safety as well as basic skills with the brushes and sponges. At the end a few face ideas using your new skills will be practiced- feel free to ask for specific designs that your event needs.
Cat can fully customize your class to specific themes or events that you want to practice for.

After Art College, a BSc & a Biology PGCE, I taught in the London Natural History Museum, then on the Jurassic Coast and for Wildlife Trusts. I'm now back in Dorset and teach geology or paleontology between creating Jurassic Coast art and face or body painting.
I discovered face painting while in Zoo Education and started my part-time business in face & body art in 2001.
I won many titles including UK Professional Face Painter of the Year, 5th in the World Face Awards, so went full-time as an artist in 2006. Most recently I placed 10th (out of 100) in the World Bodypainting Championships.
I teach, demo, and judge face, body, and eco-cosmetic glitter art in colleges and at events worldwide, often hosting college championships with Warpaint Magazine. I was one of the few artists painting 100 faces daily for years. I'm often booked at large corporate events such as Prides and major festivals, as well as for parties and clubs.
I also create props, accessories, stencils, and artwork, as well as urban art on large 3D statues for city trails.
As a UK Cricut Ambassador, I was teaching, demo-ing, and using those amazing machines in my personal and business life too. I was Hobbycraft's 1st Face Paint Artisan, and a Cricut Artisan with them as well.
