Bringing People Together

Elaine - After moving through a few different hats in my career – think entrepreneur, banking, finance at an airline, and then diving deep into teaching and even head teaching – I've recently traded the Bahrain sunshine (31 years of it!) for the lovely Matlock. While I've always had a huge soft spot for all things creative, especially painting (and even taught art lessons during my teaching days, though I'm not officially an art teacher!), retirement has opened up a whole new world. I'm absolutely loving catching up with old friends, but I'm just as thrilled to meet new faces and try out exciting new things – which is exactly why I'm adding another string to my bow! Nothing that makes me happier than helping folks connect with their loved ones, discover new friends and fun new hobbies, and celebrate all those special moments in life, big or small. It's truly a joy!

Jane - My career path has been anything but linear, and that's precisely what I love about it! I've had the pleasure of diving into everything from the hands-on satisfaction of house renovations to curating unique spaces as a boutique owner. 

 But perhaps the most defining chapter has been my 30+ years in the hair industry. It's taken me across the globe with various international roles, giving me an incredible perspective and a passion for working with people. More recently, I've found myself immersed in the captivating world of home fragrance products and scent. I'm absolutely fascinated by how scent can transform a space and evoke emotions, and I've been channelling that passion into my latest ventures. I'm a seasoned events person, and I truly thrive on collaboration – whether it's with other creatives or new businesses. Meeting new people and exploring fresh ideas is what truly energises me!

Fun With Art 

Hello art lovers and total newbies!

Ever fancied unleashing your inner artist but thought you didn't have the "flair"? Well, Fun with Art workshops are here to shake things up! We're all about having a good laugh and enjoying the journey, no pressure to be Picasso.

We'll be diving into some relaxed painting using acrylics. Don't worry if you've never picked up a brush before – you can grab as much help as you like, or just do your own thing if you're feeling confident. The goal is for you to walk away with a piece of art you're proud of - who knows you maybe even be confident enough to paint a few!

And the best part? You'll not only take home your own unique, framed masterpiece, but you might just make some cool new friends and discover a brand new passion for painting.

Each workshop will have a different theme so you will never paint the same thing.
