What better why to get this blog going again, than to tell you about Arteastiq at Mandarin Gallery. Sarah and I spent Saturday morning there this weekend, as a late birthday pressie! I would definitely recommend this one!
We tapped into our creativity by painting with acrylics on a 50x50 canvas. I found the whole experience really relaxing and therapeutic.
I did find it quite daunting at first (being in the creative industry and all!) however, I embraced it, and decided to do something quite simple. A lovely turquoise background with a simple typographic quote which captured how I was feeling that day ... "take time to do what makes your soul happy"! It really was a very soothing experience. We followed it up with a lovely afternoon tea at the cafe next door.
It's $48 well spent! You get a 3 hour session which includes your 50×50 canvas, unlimited acrylic paint, a set of brushes that you get to keep ... so I could finish off at home! You also get to choose a delicious tea/coffee/chocolate to sip whilst you get arty!
Our session was nice and quiet. Only 8 of us in the studio. There were a few couples painting together and we also saw a Hen Party in the session that followed ours. It really is a great way to bond with friends and take some time out from what is usually a chaotic, busy schedule.
