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.

“Perfect for what we wanted! My boyfriend and I just wanted a nice activity, nothing too expensive or serious. We wanted to paint each other and for a class elsewhere doing the exact same thing they wanted £50 each, whereas at Art Play you can do the same thing for just £18! Staff were lovely and showed us where everything was and then left us to it. No pressure to be excellent artists (we certainly aren’t!!) we just had a nice quiet time painting, it was fun and a laugh. Thank you so much will deffo recommend.”

“Would highly recommend this activity! We had a great evening at Art Play. Our host/teacher for the session, Ally, was super lovely and engaging. Everything was explained to us clearly and the we were on our way to make some art very quickly afterwards. I will definitely be coming back.”
