Miniatures for Mindfulness!
A social painting group for wellbeing and community.
Second Tuesday of the Month
7-9 pm
Please join us at The Carousel for a monthly social miniature-painting event hosted by Ay Up Georgina and Dan. This is an evening dedicated to painting miniatures, enjoying a nice drink, and spending time with others in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Bring your miniatures, your paints, and enjoy a night of community and painting.
This event was created when Dan and Georgina were talking together about the therapeutic benefits of painting miniatures and how many people are drawn to the positive mental health benefits of making them. We discussed how miniature painting is often a solitary hobby or tied to competitive gaming spaces, and how we wanted to create a space that aims to offer something different. Something that aligns with the reason many people love painting them— how mindful it can be — and creating more community to support the many benefits of painting miniatures.
The intention is to create an inclusive, social space where painters can sit together, create at their own pace, and connect without competition or pressure. This is an open space for people to create, chat, and be in community with like minded people!
All miniature painters are welcome — whether you paint Warhammer, tabletop, or any other miniatures. Experience level doesn’t matter; the focus is on community, creativity, and enjoying the hobby together.
Please bring your miniatures and paints with you.
Please be mindful that this is a 18+ event.
£5 tickets available here or available at the door.
Art Therapy Book Club!
A intentionally slow book club that uses art making during discussion.
Every First Tuesday of the Month
3:30-5:00 pm
Reading Schedule:
Give Yourself Permission to Rest, Create, and Just Be.
Do you feel guilt when you take a break? Is your worth tangled up in your productivity? Do you find it hard to make art simply for the joy of it, without thinking of it as a side hustle?
If so, you’re not alone. Welcome to our Art Therapy Book Group—a sanctuary for those weary of the grind and hustle culture.
This is a unique hybrid of a book club and a space for using art therapeutically. This book club is intentionally slow and we may be reading the same book for many sessions. Together, we’ll explore powerful books that make us think about our lives, support wellbeing, or make us reflect, and use art to process our discussions, and share our journeys in a supportive community. No art experience needed—just an open heart.
A space for connection, creativity, and collective healing.
With this club being a hybrid space, I want to clarify that this is not a therapy group but a book club that will use art making to process our discussions within it. If you are interested in art psychotherapy and processing trauma or stress please reach out to me for 1-1 art therapy sessions.
If you are interested in joining this book group please contact me. People are allowed to join at any time.
