If you have an artsy bride-to-be, she’ll love a hen’s party paint class! Our local art instructors will show you how to mix colours, master simple painting techniques and work with texture in order to create a beautiful piece of art you’ll treasure forever. You can choose from a variety of different styles and materials, ranging from abstract painting workshops and paint and sip classes (alcohol-free of course!) to watercolour classes and fluid art classes.

If you’re looking for winter hens party ideas that will allow each guest to take home something truly special, look no further than resin art workshops and acrylic pouring classes. Fluid art has been around for many years but has become increasingly popular in recent times because it’s as accessible as it is impressive. Modern artists are able to create beautiful works of art simply by going with the flow and allowing the movement of the paint to create the artwork for them. At the end of the hens night, you’ll end up with a beautiful and abstract work of art that’s truly eye-catching. Choose your favourite colours and create a masterpiece to display in your home.
