People’s Art Fair: Painting Party Workshop
Tue 6 May, 2025 @ 18:00 - 20:00
Free/PWYC/Donations
A free/PWYC interactive painting workshop, combining all your favourite classic party games with painting on paper plates, led by one of our PAF artists, Magda Boryn!
Expect messy & colourful interpretations of Pass the Parcel, Musical Plates, Two Truths and One Lie, and more! Open to anyone and everyone – the focus is much more on having fun in the moment/getting to know each other rather than worrying about the final result.
The workshop takes two hours and generally consists of four games with a quick toilet/drinks break in the middle.
