THE PAINTED PAUSE - MINDFUL MOMENTS

The Painted Pause - Mindful Painting, Meaningful Pause.

In today’s loud and fast-moving world, finding moments of quiet and calm is more important than ever. At The Stockroom, we recognise the vital need for time out — a pause from constant noise and busyness to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. That is why we are delighted to introduce The Painted Pause — a series of mindful acrylic painting workshops created to help you find calm, creativity, and presence in a supportive and welcoming environment.

The Painted Pause offers a gentle, guided painting experience designed to encourage mindfulness and self-expression. Each two-hour session invites you to step away from daily demands and immerse yourself fully in the soothing process of painting. Whether you are a complete beginner or have experience with acrylics, these sessions provide a safe and nurturing space where you can explore colour, brushwork, and creativity without pressure or expectation.

The magic of mindful painting lies in its simplicity. By focusing on the rhythm of your brush strokes and the colours blending on your canvas, you engage fully with the present moment. This creative meditation helps reduce stress and anxiety, improves focus, and encourages emotional balance. Many participants find that these mindful acrylic painting classes at The Stockroom become a treasured time for self care and relaxation.

Our studio at The Stockroom is carefully designed to be warm and inviting — a peaceful retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life. Whether you come alone or with friends, you will be welcomed into a calm space where everyone is encouraged to be exactly where they are in their creative journey. Our resident artists lead each session with kindness, sharing simple techniques and introducing weekly themes to inspire reflection and relaxation.

Each session is priced at £15 and includes all necessary materials and refreshments. All abilities are welcome, and we ask that you book online in advance to secure your place, as spaces are limited to maintain a tranquil atmosphere.

The Painted Pause is more than just an art class — it is a mindful practice, a moment of stillness, and a chance to reconnect with yourself. All materials are provided, and all abilities are welcome. We invite you to pause, to paint, and to simply be.
