5-7pm Bardo Lounge, Maidenhead
£500000.00
Let’s unwind, socialise - and get a buzz from making stuff with our hands!
PART ONE: DRAWING
Experiment with my vibrant watercolour palettes as I show you my signature ‘Blob Technique’: Put the colour down first and keep everything small - it makes sketching and painting much easier.
Draw-along with me as I guide you through simple sights/familiar objects.
This exercise should inspire you to whip out a sketchbook every time you're on the train, at the hairdressers or in the waiting room: ditch your phone and just start scribbling. There are billions of things out there - and they're eminently sketchable!
PART TWO: DRAWING/PAINTING/COLLAGING
Now you’re warmed up, let me show you how to make more stunning creations.
Take home some amazing artwork - and the confidence to create even more.
Think you “can’t draw” or “can’t paint”?
Then you’re my favourite type of person! You’re absolutely going to be able to do this and I’m going to really enjoy showing you how. Some other Art classes ask you to copy one big showpiece. At Art Social you’ll discover simple ways to make several beautiful pictures.
Please be prompt
The workshop will start and end exactly at the time arranged. If you arrive 5 minutes early you can place any orders at the bar, get settled and we can kick off bang on time.
Eats and drinks
The food at Bardo Lounge is great, cocktails delicious and the staff are laid-back and friendly. Please note that menu items are not included in your ticket but are available to purchase at the bar. Outside food and drinks are not allowed.
What to bring and wear
Everything will be provided. Just bring your lovely self, preferably in something you don’t mind getting paint on, just in case.
Address
Bardo Lounge, Unit 4b and 4C High Street, Maidenhead SL6 1QJ.

Warm and welcoming Bardo Lounge is in Maidenhead’s swanky waterside quarter. It’s on the bridge next to Sauce and Flour and across the road from Bakedd.
Art Socials happen at a long table to the right of the bar, toward the back of the Lounge.
Parking
If you’re lucky you might be able to bag a free spot in the roads nearby. If you’re a pay & display fan, you’re spoilt for choice!
The closest is Hines Meadow multi-story, which is on Saint Cloud Way, SL6 1QZ.
Floors 1 and above have public bays which you can pay for using all those unwanted coins rattling around in your cubby. Feeling mentally strong? Then try the RingGo app (if signal allows before your head explodes…)
There are various exits and routes to Bardo Lounge, which is a very short distance away. If you’re a stranger to Maidenhead, the best thing would be to allow 10 minutes for the walk (which is plenty) and use the sat nav on your phone.
There are a plethora of other parking options if you look on-line in advance.
Photography
Photographs will be taken during Art Socials for promotional purposes, including use on the website, social media channels and marketing materials. By attending, you consent to being photographed unless you notify me in advance (or on the day) that you would prefer not to appear in any images using the email address ArtSocialMaidenhead@gmail.co.uk.
