"I loved that! It felt so fun, and calming at the same time. I was buzzing with what I made! Definitely coming to the next one." - Jo

Two hours where nobody needs anything from you.

Come alone or bring a friend. Grab a drink from the bar, sit down amongst a ridiculous amount of colourful art materials and spend the evening playing, experimenting and making something entirely your own.

No art experience. No pressure to be good at it. No awkward forced socialising.

Just colour, music, creativity and a couple of hours to lose yourself in making.

What you'll experience

‘Happy Doodling’ — my very own intuitive, expressive version of doodling — is a free and playful way of making art using fun materials and techniques.

I’ll give gentle demos to get you started, but the atmosphere is relaxed, playful and intuitive.

There is no right or wrong way of 'Happy Doodling' and it isn’t about making “good art.” It’s about letting go, exploring, and simply enjoying the materials and processes. A 'go-with-the-flow' creative experience where you are free to follow your curiosity, chat, sip, and create in your own way.

And did you know that art-making, especially doodling, especially alongside others, is beneficial for your health and wellbeing? It can:

• calm you
• uplift your mood
• regulate your nervous system
• Focus scattered thoughts

• Spark new ideas

What you'll leave with

• a lighter mood
• some new creative skills
• maybe some new connections
• and a colourful, abstract artwork that came from YOU 💛

Feeling Nervous? Uncertain? Not Sure If You’re “Creative”?

You are certainly not alone. Being extremely shy as a child myself, and growing up to be a 'Highly Sensitive Person', I can absolutely relate!

Many people arrive feeling slightly unsure. I get it, and I see you. This space is especially for you 🤗

There is no pressure to perform or be chatty unless you want to be. You can simply sit, sip your tea, and doodle quietly if that feels good.

If you would feel more comfortable arriving a little early to settle in, you’re very welcome. Whatever your worry, just message me — I’m more than happy to reassure you 💛

A beautiful inspiring space

The workshop will take place upstairs at the Steam Crane pub — a light-filled space with huge windows and a high beamed ceiling, located on vibrant North Street in Southville, Bristol.

It’s the perfect calm, creative environment to relax into the process and feel inspired.

There is some on-road parking along the roads outside, and a car park 4 minutes away - you'll get more detailed info in your booking confirmation.

Optional finishing touch

If you’d love to take your artwork one step further, there will be a small selection of perfectly sized frames available to purchase on the day.

Most of my attendees are so surprised at how much a frame elevates their artwork and they can't wait to take their piece home to brighten up a shelf or wall. A framed hand-made piece of art also makes a fabulous, thoughtful gift for a loved one! 💛

No need to decide now — just drop me a message if you'd like one reserved.
