FAQs
- Who is Britt's Studio for?
Britt's Studio workshops are intentionally designed for adults and older teens. The pace, subject matter, and creative atmosphere are tailored to mature learners seeking a calm, focused, and immersive artistic experience.
To help maintain the calm, focused atmosphere these workshops are known for, the minimum participation age is 15 years. As my classes are designed specifically for adults and older teens, I don't offer children's classes or unattended workshops for participants under 15. If you're looking for art classes for a younger creative, I'm always happy to recommend the wonderfully talented Melody Suranyi, who specialises in engaging art classes for children. You can click here to explore her classes for kids.
I believe there is value in creative spaces designed for different age groups and learning styles. Britt's Studio exists to provide a welcoming and inspiring space where adults and teens can slow down, learn new skills, and enjoy the creative freedom that comes with making art. Thank you for understanding!

- Can I bring my infant/toddler and let them sit whilst I participate?
To help maintain the relaxed, cosy and focused atmosphere of the workshop, this event is best suited to adult participants and older teens. As sessions run for 2 hours and the venue does not offer pram parking or baby changing facilities, infants and young children are not recommended for this event.
- What food do you bring?
I purchase a charcuterie board with deli meats, dip and associated nibbles. I also provide non-alcoholic beverages like peach iced tea.
- Can I bring my own food?
Unfortunately not for this event, thank you for understanding. If you have serious concerns to allergies please shoot me a message beforehand and I will discuss with the venue the best option for you.
