Unguided Free Flow Painting Workshop Reviews

This is a fun activity in Chelsea, London

Grab a brush and let loose in this relaxed, unguided painting session in Chelsea, where the canvas is entirely yours to fill. There's no instructor here – just a creative space, all the materials you need, and as much time as you like to paint your way.

You'll have up to two hours of studio time to get stuck in, with everything provided: acrylic paints, brushes, palette knives, pencils and an apron to keep you mess-free. Choose your surface – a standard or X-large canvas, or a 23cm bear painted with brushes – and take inspiration from the artwork filling the studio, or simply paint whatever's on your mind.

This is a low-pressure, self-led session made for first-timers and seasoned painters alike, whether you come with friends or fly solo. Settle in with something from the full bar – coffee, soft drinks, wine, beer or cocktails – and grab a pizza or snack while you paint, making it as social or as switch-off-and-focus as you'd like.

By the end, you'll walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece that's entirely your own, plus a genuinely feel-good couple of hours spent creating at your own pace.

**Important to know:**
- This is an unguided session (no instructor)
- Duration: up to 2 hours
- Children are welcome with adult supervision (children must not be left unattended)
- Pouring paint on bears is not permitted during Free Flow sessions — please book a fluid bear workshop for this
- We aim to maintain a respectful and enjoyable environment for everyone. Please treat staff with respect and drink responsibly. Entry may be refused if someone is highly intoxicated.

“We very liked the atmosphere, we had all the equipment needed. However, when I booked the classes through bento, I pre-ordered a pizza and a bottle of Rioja. When we arrived at the venue in Chelsea, we were told that there is no pizza and we will get refunded, and the wine was different what we ordered. (Which was no issue at all, it was very taste and also a Spanish wine!) As we booked a free flow class, there was no teacher. We just spent our time painting and sipping the wine. The staff were friendly but not very proactive. Overall we had a good experience so we would recommend the class/place in Chelsea. It just needs to be specified which locations offer which services/options.”

“It was a freeflow session so it wasn't an actual lesson, however the teacher was extremely helpful with giving tips when we came up to her with questions which helped improve my painting. They are very friendly people and I would definitely recommend this place!”

“We could paint anything we liked and en Ben though our session did not include a teacher she gave feedback back anyway. The staff were lovley as well as other patrons who chatted with us and shared their knowledge and ideas, and we were able to look at all the amazing art others had done in the basement . All in all it was a lovley way to spend a couple of hours.Very relaxing .”

“Cool, chilled atmosphere, for me it was the first time i had done something like this and has opened up my creative side abit more. Will be back for sure. Great as an activity for groups or solo. As it was unguided you could just flow but there was someone there you could talk to, to get some quick artistic advice. Overall very happy to have come to this place. Totally recommended!!!”
