2025 Update:

 The Artist Demo Days team have all had another successful year in 2024 and our businesses are all doing well for which we are all truly thankful. 

Our businesses have all kept us very busy but we all thoroughly enjoyed working together both doing live in person workshops at Patchings Art festival in July and running our second ever painting holiday together in Peterborough November.

We enjoy working together very much and love having our followers with us. We thank you all for your support and friendship. These friendships were well and truly cemented during the painting holiday where we entertained in the evening with fun and games as well as running our all day workshops. It is important to us that even the most shy of our students feels a part of the group from the very beginning.

There is something very special about being together for a few days and we hope more of you can join us this year.

Both these events were very successful so we are repeating them both this year! We expect bookings to fill much quicker this year as the word has spread so please don’t hesitate. Book today!

Events coming up:

Artist Demo Days Summer Painting festival July 11th and 12th 2025

As Patchings is postponed this year, we have decided to hold an online series of workshops. Our very own mini festival. This makes it accessible to all who have access to a suitable device and the internet. We will run 1 hour workshops, in a variety of media and subjects. Each workshop will be £10, and although the event has already taken place, you can still buy them, and watch back the live videos through our shop.

Painting holiday in Peterborough -  22nd - 25th October 2026

We are very excited to announce that our third painting holiday is going ahead. All five of us will be running workshops for you, although Jeremy will be via video. We all love running painting holidays which we believe are very beneficial but this one is extra special because we will all be together! We have lots of plans to entertain you in the evenings as we did last year.  We are delighted to say this is now on the website and you can book right now…see the link! …..or go straight to the shop.
