Roy Stokes Hall made it onto LIVE TV this week on the Breakfast Show with Blooms and Brushes showcasing their art classes for Single Mums. Great job Tanya! Spaces still available!

I recently found this quote

" Being a single parent is twice the work, twice the stress, and twice the tears but also twice the hugs, twice the love, and twice the pride. "

So to support all the single mums in our community and with the help of Creative Communities Christchurch NZ we are offering 3 art courses just for solo mums.

During term 1 we will host 3 painting classes, 3 pottery classes, and 3 printing classes on Wednesday mornings in Christchurch, NZ. Only $20 per course. All materials included.

What a beautiful way to start this year, learn a new skill, and meet new friends.

Check out our solo mums page for all the details and to book your spot. Limited spaces available.

I am working in the Cape winelands as a floral designer who specialises in happy clients.

Painting takes a lot of experimentation and focussed consentration. You get to step away from your busy life and just be present in the moment. The time flies by.

This Christmas why not invest in an experience rather than another toy? In the last week of January, we will run kid's art workshops each day. Our classes are aimed at kids aged 5 - 14. There will be a variety of projects including mosaics, woodland creatures, a portrait made out of recycled materials and a fairy house.

The ideal gift for the little artists in your life.

Tickets are available on our website on the Book-a-class page.

Big smiles and big wreaths at last night's Thrive church girls night.

It was so much fun watching everyone get drawn in by the magic of making something with your own hands. The enthusiasm, the focus, and the sweet relief on their faces when it all came together in the end.

Just want to brag with the beautiful wreath Jemma made at our wreath workshop last weekend.

If you want to learn how to make your own Christmas wreath don't miss the final wreath workshop for the year on 14 December.

Some still lives of fruit on the easel this week.

When I was a little girl, if I wasn't sure what to draw, I would draw fruit. Still an easy choice when you just want to push some paint around on a canvas.

Acrylic on canvas. Size A3

DM me if you are interested in buying one.
