The Art Patch is built on my belief that creativity should be open to everyone, whatever your ability. We're all creative, just in different ways! I'm Nicky, and I run The Art Patch. I discovered a love of painting in my thirties with toddlers at home, and used that new found love to be creative on my own and to create fun things with my children. You don't need years of experience or natural talent to enjoy making something, you just need the right space and a bit of encouragement. Whether you're picking up a brush for the very first time or looking for a guided, no-pressure evening of creativity, every session is focused on the experience and not the outcome.

I also bring painting into the workplace. I spent over 15 years in learning and development, mostly at City law firms, and I'm now combining that with art in hands-on training sessions for teams. Think painting while you learn how to delegate as a new manager, or how to communicate more clearly. More on this soon, but if it sounds like something your team would enjoy, get in touch.
