Join Me for Some Creative Time Out!
There’s something really special about taking time out to make art – whether you’re brand new to it or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years.
My workshops are all about enjoying the process, building confidence, and having a go in a relaxed, friendly setting (with tea, cake and plenty of encouragement!).
I run regular art workshops in Suffolk, covering everything from seascapes and wildflowers to hares and sketching outdoors. All materials are provided, and the sessions are designed for beginners and improvers alike.
If you're looking for a creative escape, a new hobby, or just a lovely way to spend a few hours, I’d love to see you at one of my workshops. Scroll down to see what’s coming up…

Private & Group Bookings
Looking for something a bit different for a birthday, hen do, team get-together or special celebration?
My group painting workshops are a relaxed and creative way to mark a special occasion, reconnect with friends or treat your team to something inspiring. No experience is needed – just a willingness to have a go! I’ll guide you step-by-step through a fun two-hour session, tailored to your group.
You’ll choose your own theme, and I’ll provide all materials and guidance – along with refreshments if requested.
Workshops can be hosted at Martlesham Pavilion (up to 14 people) or at a venue of your choice. I’m based in Suffolk but happy to travel further — a small travel fee applies for bookings more than 50 miles from Woodbridge.
Prices start at £250 plus £5 per person.
"Carla delivered a fabulous workshop for my 60th Birthday celebrations, with my friends and I all thoroughly enjoying painting a flower meadow. It was so much fun and so relaxing. Friends who hadn't done anything like it before were chuffed with the outcome and loved how it meant they completely switched off and got absorbed in painting.
One even booked a workshop for her birthday later in the year - praise indeed!!
Thanks Carla for making it such a wonderful experience."
One to One Art Sessions
Fancy some focused art time just for you?
These relaxed sessions are all about what you want to explore – whether it’s learning how to use soft pastels, building confidence with acrylics, sketching outdoors, or working on a specific project or technique.
Held in my cosy Suffolk studio or out on location, these sessions are ideal for beginners looking for gentle guidance, improvers wanting to take the next step, or anyone simply craving a creative reset.
You set the pace, choose the subject, and I’ll support you with tips, demos, and encouragement. Tea and biscuits included, of course.
