Because grown-ups need art playdates too!
Let’s paint like nobody’s watching!
Hey! I’m Kirsty — I paint, I chat, I spill tea (literally and figuratively).
Sometimes I do live illustrations at weddings, sometimes I paint quietly in my studio while listening to faerie smut audiobooks… (don’t judge too harshly)
And now I’m bringing the fun to wineries, cafés, retreats, and events, you name it!

Looking for a private event? Run for the waitlist!
It’s a good idea!
People love doing something they wouldn’t usually try.
It’s a brilliant way to fill quieter time slots or create buzz for a one-off event.
Guests go home with a thoughtful keepsake tied to your business.
It makes you look good—like, really good—on social media.
That’s more smiles, more buzz, and more lovely humans remembering you fondly.

Common Q’s
-
If you’ve got a few tables and chairs, we’re good to go. I’ve worked in cafés, wineries, banks—you name it. I can make it work with cosy setups or larger spaces.
-
I’ll help promote it too. I’ve got an engaged local audience and can provide ready-to-go images, blurbs, or even co-host ticketing if it helps.
-
Perfect! Most people who attend haven’t painted since school—and that’s exactly why they love it. It’s about connection, not perfection.
-
Watercolour is one of the cleanest mediums around. I bring all the materials and do a full pack-down—no mess left behind.
-
Pricing depends on the type of session and group size. We can do a ticketed event, hire fee, or something custom—happy to chat and find what fits.
-
Usually around 1.5–2 hours, but that’s flexible. We can tweak the length to suit your service schedule or event structure.
Too far to pop into the studio?
Oh, don’t you worry because I’ve got you!
Not everyone can make it to our in-person workshops, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. I’ve created a place fuelled by tea, messy sketchbooks, and the belief that creativity is better when it’s shared.
Patreon is where I host a cosy, human-made creative community for artists and creative-curious souls who want more confidence, consistent practice and a place to feel seen.
Think of it as our own lunch time art room hang outs. We gather, we sketch and we share stories. I deliver monthly prompts, live drawing sessions, behind-the-scenes peeks at supplies and process, a fortnightly ‘podchat’ (voice-note style – like leaving a message on an old answering machine).
There’s absolutely NO pressure… NO perfection…just a community who gets why that ugly sketchbook of yours actually matters.
With the Ugly Sketchbook Club™, you can join the fun from wherever you are!
