She'll happily travel to your chosen venue — home, church, business, school or elsewhere — or assist in arranging a suitable venue where needed.
Real moments, real people.
Everything you might wonder.
Do I need painting experience?+
Not at all. Sessions are designed for absolute beginners — Melinda guides every brushstroke and every guest finishes a canvas they're proud of.
How many guests can attend?+
Groups from 8 to 60. Smaller intimate gatherings work beautifully; larger events are hosted with a second facilitator.
Can you travel to our venue?+
Yes — Melinda travels to your home, church, business, school or venue across South Africa. Alternatively, she can arrange a suitable venue where appropriate. Travel outside Johannesburg is quoted per event.
How long does an event last?+
Most sessions run around two to two-and-a-half hours from arrival to finished canvas, with room to linger afterwards.
What should we wear?+
Whatever feels comfortable. Aprons are provided, though acrylic paint is best kept away from favourite outfits.
Can children attend?+
Absolutely — dedicated youth and family sessions are available, with a canvas and pace suited to younger hands.
Do you provide everything?+
Yes. Easels, canvases, paint, brushes, aprons and guidance are all included. You bring the guests and (if you'd like) something to drink.
Let's create something together.
Every gathering begins with a conversation. Tell me a little about the occasion — there's no obligation, no rush, and no wrong way to begin.
