A little time away from the usual routine, with something creative to do.
Pause & Paint brings relaxed, artist-led painting sessions to cafés and creative spaces around
Newcastle and the coast.
I'll guide you through the painting, but there's always room to experiment, make changes and do things your own way.
It's about enjoying the process, spending time together and seeing what you create.
Find a session below and come along.
Slow painting, guided by an artist.
Wrong turns welcome, mess encouraged.
