Workshops

Paint, slow down, breathe

Relaxed, beginner-friendly painting sessions built around calming palettes. I'm colour therapy certified, so every session is designed with mood in mind as much as technique. No experience needed — just an openness to slow down.

Questions

Anything else? Email jing@anpingedits.com.

Do I need any painting experience?

None at all. Every session is beginner-paced, with step-by-step guidance. People who haven't held a brush since school leave with something they're proud of.

What's included in The Art of Letting Go?

Everything: watercolour paper, paints, brushes and palettes, a welcome glass of wine (alcohol-free on request), a sushi platter from Hanasaki, fresh flowers to paint from, and your finished painting to take home.

Can you cater for dietary needs?

Yes — most dietary needs and allergies can be accommodated with advance notice. Just let me know when you book.

Can I book a private or corporate session?

Yes. I run taster sessions for offices and members' clubs, private sittings of The Art of Letting Go, and festive card-making for teams. Tell me your date and group size.

Christmas cards: is one ticket one person?

No — one ticket is one card. Book as many cards as your group would like to make, and share them between you. Under-12s are welcome with an adult.

Christmas cards: can I get a refund?

Yes, a full refund if you email jing@anpingedits.com at least 7 days before your session. After that, you're welcome to pass your place to a friend.

What should I wear?

Something you don't mind getting a little paint — or glitter — on.
