What to bring

• BYO stretched canvas and brushes. Minimum size 60x60cm (23x23 inches), no larger than 100x100cm (39x39 inches). Keep in mind that the larger the scale, the more expressive you can be. Whilst we’ll be using water-based paints, I recommend all participates wear clothing and shoes that they won’t be too upset about getting paint on.

What to wear

Please wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting messy or permanently stained

Appropriate for

Open to everyone interested over the age of 18. People who have an interest in abstract painting but very little experience. Artists are welcome, however if they have experience in abstract, they may find this too basic.

Abstract artist and Reiki Master Jo Carroll, previously had a successful career in advertising, and only became serious about painting in late 2016. Jo’s desire to become an artist is one of her earliest childhood memories. Despite being discouraged rather than encouraged, she finally gave into this powerful urge when she became attuned to Reiki (a Japanese relaxation technique based on the notion that an unseen life force energy flows through us) and her creative energy came bursting forth in a way she’d never experienced before.
