Making Time for Art for Carers with Promas | Thursday 14th May | Four hour session | 10:00am – 2:00pm

You don't need to be an artist. You don't need any experience. You just need to be willing to pick up a brush and see what happens.

This fun, relaxed introduction to watercolour painting is the perfect excuse to try something creative and discover just how enjoyable it can be. You'll explore colour, experiment with different techniques, and be gently guided every step of the way. Whether you end up with a masterpiece or a happy mess, that's completely fine. The point is to enjoy it.

For carers who spend so much time focused on others, having an hour or two to play, create, and switch off can feel like a genuine breath of fresh air. And who knows, you might just find a new hobby you love.

Everything you need is provided, and the session is suitable for complete beginners, so there's really nothing to worry about.

This course is completely FREE, our partner Promas covers all materials and travel expenses.

Before booking, take a look at the course FAQs at the bottom of this page, which answer the most common questions. If you still need help, please get in touch, and we'll be happy to chat.

We do ask that you take your place seriously. We know life as a carer can be unpredictable, and we completely understand that things come up. But last-minute cancellations can sometimes mean the course can't go ahead for others, and there's a real financial impact for us too. So if you do need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible.
