After a fantastic run of events in 2024, I’d like to thank all 800 of you who have so far attended ‘the Happy Little Paint Along’.
When this night was started, I didn’t know if people would come to a communal paint along centered around the one true king of chill, Bob Ross. But it sold out…then it sold out again, and again, and again, and here we are 7 events in, with over 750 paintings out there in living rooms, as gifts, hanging on walls, and more.
It sounded so silly on paper, for 120 people all to follow along to a woodland painting, yet it worked. But it didn’t work through just idea alone. ��It worked through fantastic hosting skills, ensuring that everyone understood it didn’t matter how good or bad you were, that participation was key. Through a welcoming atmosphere, and a host of silly prizes, where all you needed to bring was yourself, and the rest was covered by your ticket fee.
It worked through helping get amazing photos of you all, painting, and having a great time.
It worked through the great team at that I was once a part of (and am grateful to still be involved) who help get everything set up, and do a fantastic job at picking their favourites.��It worked because people came, and thought the idea was interesting.
So thank you all, anyone who has been, or may not yet have come.
�We are super pleased to be announcing our final two events of 2024, both Christmas themed (jumpers encouraged).��
Friday 6th December
