‘I’ve not done any art since I left school!’

I hear this so often and it makes me so happy that people have decided to get back to their creative roots.
At Sometimes Sarah Paints, you’ll find regular monthly classes for all skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned dabblers, along with family-friendly Saturday sessions. You can also book private workshops for up to 10 people in a relaxed, welcoming setting, perfect for birthdays and celebrations.
Every session is gently guided, with all materials provided. So all you need to bring is your curiosity. Whether you’re looking to spark a new hobby, explore your creativity, or just enjoy a peaceful morning or evening, this is your space to do it.
