Little Brush, Big Brush Painting Class

Create art side by side with your child at this gouache painting class in Manchester.



2 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £19

Screens down, brushes up – Little Brush, Big Brush is a joyful family painting evening in Manchester where parents and children create side by side.
Join local artist and teacher Lelanie Slater for a relaxed, guided gouache painting workshop designed for families who want to spend some proper creative time together during Didsbury Arts Festival. Gouache is a brilliant medium for all ages – easy to work with, wonderfully vibrant, and completely washable – so everyone can dive in with confidence from the very first brushstroke.
You'll follow step-by-step guides with inspiration images and gentle guidance throughout, so every person at the table – big or small – leaves with a painting they're genuinely proud of. No experience needed, just curiosity and a readiness to play with colour.
Everything is provided on the night, and Corner and Bloom will be on hand serving drinks to keep things feeling festive.
Recommended for children aged 8 and up – though you know your child best, so if you think a younger one would love it, you're very welcome to bring them along.
Please note: children must be accompanied by a paying adult.
