If you're looking for a fun and creative way to relax, Still Life Paint Social offers a wonderfully relaxed, untutored painting activity in the heart of Deptford. Running from 7pm - 10pm, it’s the perfect workshop for exploring your artistic side in a laid-back setting.
Once people have settled in, we'll help you loosen up with a few fun drawing exercises, chat through some options for approaching your composition and then set you off to paint.
This session is all about creative freedom. While it's an untutored activity, you'll quickly learn how to enjoy the simple process of playing with paint at your own pace. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, gathering your mates for something a bit different, or just flying solo for some creative downtime, this is a welcoming space to unwind and enjoy the vibe.
There's absolutely no experience needed and no pressure – just good music, a creative atmosphere, and the time to experiment with paint. All essential painting materials are provided to get you started and the display is usually edible (so can be eaten if no one is painting specific parts).
We have a licensed bar with drinks and some light nibbles available to make your workshop experience even more enjoyable.
