🍋 What a fabulous afternoon! 🥂

At the end of June, we were absolutely delighted to welcome back Anne-Marie from Painting Bubbles Ireland for our vibrant summer painting session.

Inspired by lemons, sunshine, and bright summer colours, everyone created the most incredible pieces of artwork while enjoying plenty of laughter and great company.

It was wonderful to see so many lovely ladies come together for such a fun and relaxing afternoon.

We also enjoyed a delicious selection of sweet and savoury finger food, the bubbles were flowing, and with the sun shining, it truly was a spectacular event from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Anne-Marie and everyone who joined us—we loved spending the afternoon with you and can’t wait to do it all again!

Keep your eyes peeled for our Autumn/Winter painting session dates, which will be announced soon.

We can’t wait to welcome you back! 🍂🎨✨
