This activity takes place in a welcoming and supportive studio environment in East Molesey, designed to help you paint freely and leave any fears behind. The focus is on intuitive painting, which simply means learning how to connect with your own emotions and feelings as you create, without overthinking it. An initial demonstration will show you how the painting process begins, helping you feel comfortable getting started.
Guided by your tutor, you'll explore different ways to make marks and use colour, allowing your personal interpretation and feelings to shine through in your artwork. You'll get hands-on experience with the materials, learning how to use them in expressive ways. With small class sizes (just 4-6 students), you'll receive plenty of individual assistance. The studio itself is nicely situated on the Mole River in East Molesey, with easy access via train and bus services, plus parking available nearby.
You'll leave this class feeling a deeper connection to your artistic side, along with newfound confidence in your creative abilities. Taking home your unique painting will serve as a fantastic reminder of this fulfilling experience and the new skills you have learned.

  • 5/5 from Valerie Bond, attended Jul 2026: Just spent a wonderful morning making art - and am taking home an abstract piece that I am so pleased with that I am going to frame. Margie was really supportive and friendly - the time flew by. And the scones were lovely too!
  • 5/5 from Pramesh Mehta, attended Jan 2026: We had the most wonderful experience with Margie for my wife’s birthday! She is an incredibly talented abstract art teacher who made the entire session feel magical and special. She guided us through the process with such warmth and encouragement that we all felt like artists by the end. The atmosphere she created was perfect for celebrating - joyful, relaxed, and inspiring. My wife felt absolutely wonderful, which made her birthday truly memorable. Margie’s passion for art is contagious, and her teaching style brings out creativity you didn’t even know you had especially hours of working with numbers each day. We will absolutely be recommending Margie to everyone we know! Thank you once again for making this birthday celebration so special. If you are looking for a unique, uplifting art experience, Margie is the teacher you want.

  • 5/5 from Beverley Gregory, attended Jul 2025: I arrived a little nervous not having done any art for many years but Margie was very welcoming. She explained every step and all about how to use inks, brushes, tools etc. She was really encouraging and created a relaxing atmosphere to try something new. I would definitely recommend. Oh and there was cake too.
