Art Workshops With Jenny McIntosh

Welcome to Art Workshops with Jenny McIntosh!

Here you will find Workshops that specialise in Fine Art as well as Art for Wellbeing.

While I am passionate about providing opportunities for those wishing to grow their traditional art practise, I am just as passionate about the role Art can play in everyone’s life to reduce stress, to play and to grow.

Fine Art…

Each year I hold a number of workshops specialising in traditional oil painting techniques, as well as methods of painting which are both solvent free and archival.

There are workshops suitable for all levels from the complete beginner to advanced artist and the workshop description will tell you who it’s most suitable for.

In addition to the oil painting workshops I also hold workshops in other mediums that will allow you to explore and unlock your artistic skills and let your creativity shine. 

Wellbeing

On this side of the business I provide workshops ranging from paint & sip , art cafe with Jen (both great fun and a lovely way to spend time with friends or make new ones), as well as workshops that blend movement/breathwork/meditation with simple arty exercises like the Stressbuster, the beautiful Watercolour Flow and the curiosity invoking Creative Flow, where the emphasis is on play and exploration. 

All are fabulous for so, so many reasons… you will be guaranteed to go home feeling rejuvenated and inspired to bring more art into your life.

Along with my Art Practise, all aspects of Wellbeing has played an important role in my life. 

I’ve always felt art has a valuable place in this space and have been conducting these experiences in various forms for at least 30 years now (wow! Big numbers these days!).  I can’t tell you how delighted I am with how they’ve been received though I do wonder sometimes who gets the most benefit from them – the participants or me! 

Over the years I’ve heard a lot of reteoric saying you must niche down… teach one style of class.  But I found it hard to choose.  I thought I should seperate them out from each other – only advertise Fine Art over here and keep everything for Wellbeing over there  – what a pain!

I’ve now come to realise that both can exist happily together.

If you are interested in a particular workshop but not sure if it’s suitable for you, don’t hesitate to reach out and I’ll be happy to guide you in the right direction.

Hope to spend some creative time with you in this coming year.

Cheers, Jen
