Mindful Painting Workshops Manchester

Are you in need of relaxation and de-stressing after a long work week? These workshops are not about how good at art you are, they’re about using art as a mindfulness tool and having bags of fun in Manchester. Mindful Painting has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, so these workshops are perfect if you’d like to try a new skill and de-stress at the same time.

All materials are provided and all skill levels are welcome, from complete beginners to expert artists. You’ll leave the evening with your very own masterpiece painting on canvas created over two hours with the guidance of Krystan-Grace Art. These mindful painting workshops are a great one to share with friends, a first date or even for having an evening on your own. The motif for the next workshop is currently to be decided as is the location but updates will be sent out as soon as possible and the location will be in Central Manchester.
