Painting Class in a City Farm

When the hustle and bustle of London is getting you down, join this art class to get creative in a peaceful and encouraging environment.

You'll be guided by an experienced and friendly teacher, Georgie, on Stepney City Farm. This little slice of green paradise is the perfect place to open yourself up to new skills and enjoy a mindful break.

When you arrive into the space Georgie will greet you and offer you tea/coffee. She will then guide you through a short meditation and some mindful art exercises in line with the month's theme, to get you feeling inspired. Next, Georgie will demonstrate some techniques and textures she uses in her work before handing over to you.

In terms of what you'll make, you could replicate famous work, paint your favourite place, or take inspiration from our farm of Georgie's paintings. You'll learn how to construct your very own masterpiece by building texture, colour mixing, mark-making, and most importantly, letting go into it! Your teacher will help you detach from your inner perfectionist, enjoy the process and find flow. It's a perfect way to unwind and reconnect with your imaginative side. From spreading mud around with your hands, to splashing colours Pollock-style, and even painting with your feet, anything goes in this class!

If you've ever wanted to start painting but lacked the materials or motivation to get going, this art workshop is ideal. Georgie will give you as much or as little guidance as you need and want. It's also perfect for all occasions, from a birthday party, a hens do or just a fun day out in London - just let Georgie know your requirements.

This class includes a short break where you can buy lunch from our onsite cafe, The Allotment Kitchen, or the farmers market, right by the studio, so you can enjoy local produce meals made with care. (Due to the popularity of the cafe, I have to put your lunch orders through upon arrival, otherwise you'll be queueing for hours! You can pay through me by card in the studio.)
