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.

“I attended a free flow paint session at 1430 afternoon was greeted by a nice member of staff. Black tall male However on leaving one white male and one white female weren’t particularly smiley or friendly. I cannot pinpoint exactly what they did wrong however they did not make myself or my friend both who which wear head Starves feel comfortable. When smiling at them they did not smile, when asking do we just leave with our paintings. The woman said yes just go. She did not ask us if we wanted a bag, how are were experience was. They were ignoring us until made a point of attention by saying excuse me and standing in front of the woman. Although there is no blatant racist action that they did. They did not make me or my friend feel welcome and I feel as though this was definitely due to the fact that we wore headscarves and are muslim. Please encourage your staff to remain polite to all customers, smile, greet ask them how their session was. Be approachable. No matter what your views are of people of colour or different religions. Or ethnicities you should treat everyone equally It is very disappointing as someone who works for the NHS I know how important this is and how easily it can be done. Please do better”

“Came in expecting to paint like Picasso, left with something closer to preschool fridge art—but I had a blast doing it! Docking one star only because my masterpiece won’t be hanging in the Louvre anytime soon but overall a fun experience!!”

“Self guided paint session, very easy to check in, we were given our canvas, showed to the paints and we got good time to complete our paintings. So fun and worth doing. Only negative is the lack of colours of paints, you have to mix your own shades. There were maybe 8 basic colour shades.”
