Give the gift of creativity with our range of art classes

Art isn’t reserved for those who consider themselves creative. Everyone has the power to put paintbrush to canvas and create something beautiful, all it takes is a little encouragement. With our range of art workshops and painting classes across the UK and online, you can give the wonderful gift of creativity almost instantaneously. 

Take for example, this special painting class which is hosted at an inner-city farm. Your lucky last-minute gift receiver will be delighted to find this thoughtful e gift card pop up in their inbox or as an experience gift card through their door (depending on the timeframe). At this unusual London art class, they’ll learn everything from how to build texture, mix colour and even mark-make all whilst soaking up a slice of inner-city tranquillity. Whether your gift receiver is an arty type or not, this experience gift is sure to make them feel special (even if it was only purchased minutes ago!). 

Treat them to some nature-fuelled relaxation 

Whether the person receiving the gift is a green-thumb flower-fanatic or not, our garden of floristry classes and plant workshops will provide you with some truly unique and thoughtful options. 

Being around nature has been proven to reduce stress and boost feelings of wellbeing, and this virtual terrarium making class is no exception. By opting for this cute terrarium workshop, your gift recipient will enjoy a DIY kit delivered to their door and virtual class at a convenient time and place for them – making it an ideal option, whether they’re based in Manchester, Edinburgh, London or beyond! 

For those who might prefer the social aspect of a unique in-person experience, this hand tied dried bouquet floristry class in London is a thoughtful choice! Both sustainable and gorgeous, they’ll walk away with an everlasting centrepiece that will remind them of you each time they admire it. Not only will they enjoy their chic dried floral arrangement, but they’ll also enjoy the experience of making it and learning all about floristry as a craft – now that’s better than a last-minute supermarket bouquet, eh?

When it comes to sweet-tooth workshop experience gift cards in London, this chocolate making class on a boat is chocoholic heaven!

For the savoury saints among us, spoil them with some sophisticated sushi making or treat them to this traditional pizza-making class that comes to you – we meant it when we said there that there’s something for everyone!

Help them get their clay on with a fun pottery class

It’s not every day you get to wrap your hands around some clay and mould it into a pleasing shape, which is why pottery workshops make such unique gifts!

With this pottery class in London, your gift receiver can enjoy trying life behind the wheel (the potter’s wheel, that is) as well as getting their fingers stuck into some hand-building techniques. Perfect for beginners looking for a foray into the world of clay, attendees will love this all-rounder introduction to pottery making.
