What we will be doing
Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
No rules, no pressure — just pure expression. Our artists will guide you through techniques of action painting, layering, and movement so you can let go and enjoy the process.
This is more than fun — it’s liberating. Action painting is known to reduce stress, spark creativity, and leave you with a unique artwork that’s as wild as the process itself.

Oh yes! Intuitive painting has nothing to do with “being good” — it’s all about feeling, exploring, and letting go.
From acrylics, pipettes, spray bottles and cups to spatulas, sponges and paint guns – we’ve got everything you need to splash, drip, swirl and layer.
And don’t worry: the mess stays fun — we provide protective gear for you and the room.
Absolutely — we’re happy to let your masterpiece chill with us for up to one week. After that, it needs to fly the nest (space is precious!). Just let us know and we’ll keep it safe until pickup.
