Explore your creative side and learn new techniques with this rare and fun experience.
Learn from a local artist, who'll teach you how to paint using traditional materials in unique styles to capture some stunning imagery. You'll learn all about Japanese art movements like Ukiyo-e and Rinpa and you'll be painting onto either Rice Paper Boards, Rice Paper fans or Silk Fans. Feel free to pop us a message if you have a request.
This painting class is suitable for beginners as well as those with a little more artistic experience, so don't worry if it's your first time. Your teacher will be on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions you may have as you get busy creating your marvellous masterpiece.
Looking for a team-building activity to reward your colleagues after a smashed sales goal or a long week at the office? Book a private workshop and enjoy some quality time with your work family as you discover new passions for painting.
At the end of your art class, you'll get the chance to stand back and admire your beautiful Japanese painting as you compare it with the group. You'll head home with your completed piece and a new skill that's perfect to practice whenever you're looking to clear your head.

  • 5/5 from Debbie Stuart, attended May 2025: Loved the workshop!! Such a relaxing atmosphere and Nula was so friendly amd helpful. She helped even an absolute beginner produce something I'll be happy to display on my wall at home. Definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Eszter O. Szabo, attended Mar 2025: Great workshop, Ula was very nice. She showed us how to do everything then kept walking around and made sure everybody was happy. The materials were all first class, authentic Japanese, beautiful quality. There was a large selection of pictures to choose from as well, maybe even too many Overall, absolutely 100% recommend this workshop! I am already on the lookout for Ula's next one, can't wait!
  • 5/5 from Matthew Ellison, attended Mar 2025: It was a great experience, taught very well and would thoroughly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Elyse Dickens, attended Oct 2024: What a fabulous afternoon. I didn’t expect to learn so much aswell as completing the art. As an absolute novice with a partner who has an art degree I was worried he would love the complexity of it and I would struggle but we both loved it. We could choose to paint whatever we wanted which is brilliant for different skill levels. Yula is a fabulous teacher and very patient and makes time for everyone. Brilliant experience and definitely would do it again!
  • 5/5 from Gareth Farley, attended Jul 2024: Amazing teacher, lots of very good tips and advice, we were pleased with our paintings.
  • 5/5 from Katarina, attended Jun 2024: Great experience, our teacher was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and not judgmental about our basic skills at all :) will definitely try again
  • 5/5 from Debbie Jones, attended Jun 2024: Fantastic afternoon and wonderful teacher. Highly recommended to anyone beginners or experienced alike. Many thanks.
  • 5/5 from Ashleigh, attended Mar 2024: Over the weekend we attended a class with 14 Rangers (aged 14-18). Last year our group visited Japan for 2 weeks and we thought this was a perfect chance to reunite with our love to for the country. Ryan was really helpful with the booking, and patient as we tried to successfully hire a venue to make this work. There response was really quick when also trying to add in one more painter less that 48 hours before the class started. The group thoroughly enjoyed it and our teacher was great, helping the kids and making sure they were getting the most out of the session. We plan to attend another japanese class as Leaders - we just had so much fun.
