The Joyful Art Club

Monthly creative evenings in Stony Stratford

The Joyful
Art Club

A relaxed monthly evening for people who want to make art, try things out and enjoy some creative breathing space. Come exactly as you are.

Last Thursday of every month | 7pm to 9pm York House, Stony Stratford, MK

"Lorraine is just brilliant at making you relax about exploring art mediums and experimenting with techniques. No knowledge or experience needed. The studio has a wonderful ambience and Lorraine lives and breathes her mantra: Don't think, just paint!"

What is it

Your monthly
hour to just make

The Joyful Art Club is a relaxed, sociable evening of making. Not a structured class, not a workshop with homework. Just a warm, creative space where you can pick up a project you have been meaning to finish, try something new, or sit with your sketchbook and see what comes.

Each month I share a mini project for inspiration and some of my own tips and process for abstract art making. But there is no pressure to follow along. Bring your own materials and whatever you are working on, or just come curious.

This is your time. The only rule is to enjoy it.

What to expect

An evening that feels good

```
Bring your own projects
Work on something you have already started, try a new medium, or arrive with just an idea. This is your creative space to use however feels right.
A monthly mini project
Each session I share a little something for inspiration. A prompt, a technique, a material to experiment with. Totally optional but usually lots of fun.
Like-minded company
You will be in a room with other creative people who just want to make things. No showing off, no judgement. Just good company and conversation.
No pressure, ever
No homework, no assessment, no need to be good at art. Come exactly as you are. The whole point is the making, not the outcome.
