Ready to try watercolour without the stress? Join me for a creative morning that’s all about the process, not the pressure. I’m T, and I believe that art doesn’t have to be messy or labor-intensive to be satisfying.
This workshop is a dedicated "safe haven" for your creativity. Many of my regulars join us every month just for the fun, relaxing atmosphere and the chance to paint alongside like-minded people. Whether you’re a seasoned painter or haven’t picked up a brush since school, you’ll find a welcoming space to unwind and experiment.
What we’ll do:
We focus on simplifying professional studio techniques for "real-life" application. Each session, we’ll explore things like watercolour washes, textures, and layering—all while keeping it quick, easy, and satisfying. It’s the perfect way to build your skill repertoire and stay inspired, even if you have a hectic schedule.
Choose your way to play:
The Starter Kit Option: Perfect if you’re new or just want to show up and create without the fuss. I’ll provide all the professional-quality supplies you need to get started.
The "Bring Your Own" Option: If you’re a regular or already have a stash of favourite supplies you love to use, this option is for you. Bring your own kit and join the fun!
This class is for you if:
You want to grow your art skills in a stress-free, low-mess way.
You’re looking for a relaxing morning with a great community.
You want to learn how to make art a simple, satisfying part of your routine.
There’s no right or wrong way here—just the willingness to play. Come for the professional tips, stay for the cuppa and the company, and leave feeling creatively refreshed.

  • 5/5 from Sonya Wilkes, attended Jun 2026: Once again - a fabulous class with Theresa. This time the abstract class featured water colour pouring. A technique I was not familiar with so it was wonderful to learn something new. Theresa is always so patient and is a very giving teacher. Always keen to give us little tips and encouragement. Would recommend any of Theresa’s classes.
  • 5/5 from Xiaofei Shi, attended Mar 2026: She is brilliant.

  • 5/5 from Michelle Weideman, attended Dec 2025: I had the most wonderful day at Theresa’s art class. I was genuinely surprised by how much I learned in just one session—especially about colour theory, mixing techniques, and how to actually paint with watercolour. It was amazing. I haven’t had this much fun, creativity, relaxation, and true mental rest in such a long time. Thank you, Theresa, for your expert knowledge and your incredible teaching skills. I walked in curious and walked out inspired, confident, and excited to paint at home. I genuinely feel like I’ve gained a new skill and a beautiful new way to relax. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 from Sue Jackson, attended Nov 2023: This is the second class of Theresa's I have attended.

Each time I have attended her class I have come away with a wealth of information and resources to continue my learning at home. I recommend her classes to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Sahra Henriksen, attended Nov 2023: My 2nd class with wonderful Theresa, and oh wow I learnt so much about watercolour, a medium that I was always “fearing”… I now feel so confident continuing on this watercolour journey and more, thanks to Theresa!

Hi, I’m Theresa!
I’m a mixed media artist and crafter. My passion is showing woman how creative activities like colouring, watercolour painting and art journaling can help to manage stress and anxiety to improve their mental health.
As a mum, I know how little time we make for ourselves especially when it comes to taking care of our mental health. My aim is to help you gain a better understanding of the importance of nurturing creativity and why your mental health matters.
The joy of art is in the process but if the process is labour intensive and overwhelming you might give up before you even got started. I have curated three very popular art activities and tweaked and simplified the tools and techniques to make the process quick and easy to complete in a short amount of time, relatively mess free yet satisfying enough for the passionate creative.
I am delighted to share these tried and tested techniques with you, so that you can enjoy your creative time and the benefits of it without adding extra stress and work to your already busy day.
