One Party – Two Paintings 
For a first and last time you will have the opportunity to choose one of these two paintings to get inspired and paint your own version! On 27th October at The Elm Tree Pub in Surbiton, join us for an evening where eerie shadows and glowing pumpkins set the scene for your canvas.
Together, we’ll paint a tasy pumpkin or a spooky house under a moonlit sky—mysterious, magical, and just the right amount of fright! It’s a perfect way to celebrate Halloween.
This event is OPEN FOR TEENS accompanied by painting parents—a family night out full of creativity, colour, and a little Halloween mischief. 
Seats are limited – book yours now and let the spooky fun begin!
What’s included:
All materials for painting: easels, paint, canvas, and aprons. Eco-bag to take home your artwork. Step-by-step guidance from a professional artist.
Is art possible without a human touch? Does it require heart, soul and the expression of human experience? In this special hands-on STEM workshop, children will explore what happens when machines and humans create together.
They will begin by building LEGO Spirographs with Beyond Blocks, specialists in hands-on STEM learning through LEGO Robotics. Once the robots have drawn their geometric patterns, children will transform the output into a deeply personal piece of art by adding colour, texture and emagination. Each child will leave with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece! Very limited spaces!
Family Painting Workshop
Join us at my studio for a joyful family workshop where parents and children (ages 5+) can paint together, get creative, and have fun! Enjoy a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere, share laughter, and see who’s the most artistic— parents or children. A lovely, friendly afternoon full of colour, creativity, and family bonding moments.
What’s included:
All materials for painting: easels, paint, canvas, and aprons; refreshments; Eco-bag to take home your artworks. Step-by-step guidance from a professional artist.

Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to art after years away, this course is the perfect starting point for building strong foundational skills in drawing — in a welcoming, encouraging adult environment.Each session combines live demonstration, guided exercises, and plenty of individual support. You’ll build your skills week by week — with time to absorb, practice, and progress.
Irina’s classes are described as “so much fun” by my 11 years old son. He loves art but lacked confidence in his freehand drawing ability. Irina is patient and caring and takes the time to get to know the individual needs of the child. Each week my son brings home artwork that he is proud to have created.
Irina is also knowledgeable and very approachable and we have been able to ask advice about purchasing various art equipment. Thank you Irina for your kindness and support.
My little one (6) joined October half term Art classes for a week and she absolutely enjoyed her art lessons with Irina. Lucia said the art teacher is very nice and kind. She is looking forward to join next holiday lessons if available. The last day exhibition was amazing! All the paintings that Lucia drew during the sessions are all up on her room wall.
Irina has been teaching our son (9 ) for a few months now, thanks to her he is much more interested in art. He has already learned some new techniques with her and has become more confident. He has produced several new paintings which he is proud of, and his teachers at school have been very impressed!
Irina is very patient and knows how to teach art in an interesting and engaging way. Would recommend her to anybody wanting to learn some new techniques, for themselves or for a child.
