About the Class

A gentle return to creativity — for beginners, returners, and the quietly curious.

This class is a space to meet the blank page without pressure, pick up a brush without expectation, and remember how it feels to make something simply because it feels good.

Creating isn’t about skill. It’s about permission. Permission to play, to let go, to release and reconnect.

Many of us stop creating not because we lack talent, but because we’ve learned to be careful — careful of doing it wrong, careful of being seen, careful of not being good enough.

Permission to Play is a creative circle for those who feel pulled to create but don’t quite know where to begin — or how to begin again.

There is something deeply restorative about creating together. This shared space invites exploration, play, and reconnection with colour, intuition, and with yourself.

Here, the process matters more than the outcome. Curiosity matters more than confidence.

If the blank page intimidates you, this class is for you.
If you used to paint and don’t know how to start again, this class is for you.
If you’re craving something playful, nourishing, and just for you, this class is for you.

No experience needed.
No rules. No pressure. No judgement.

Just colour, connection, and permission to begin again.

Class Fees

Our classes run on a termly basis, allowing students to develop their skills, build confidence, and complete meaningful artwork over a series of guided lessons.

Classes are charged at R450 per class, with fees calculated according to the number of classes remaining in the current term. If you join after the term has started, your fee will automatically be adjusted on a pro rata basis, so you only pay for the remaining classes.

Payment Options

• Pay in 2 instalments – Pay your first instalment online to secure your place. The remaining balance will be invoiced by the studio.
• Pay in full – Pay the full balance upfront.

Your booking reserves your place for the remainder of the current term.

Class sizes are intentionally small and places are limited. If your preferred class is fully booked, please contact us to join the waitlist.

Missed Classes

We totally get that life gets in the way sometimes, and while we would love to run make up classes for each class, it’s really hard to find gaps in the timetable to do that so we have come up with a plan!

Each member will get 2 free tokens to use during the time for any other (suitable) class to use if they have missed a class. This a great way to explore other mediums too! We just ask that if you have missed a class to make use of one by mid term and one in the 2nd half of the term so we can ensure you get your class of choice and space out class numbers (keeping to max 12 per class). Please reach out to Georgina to arrange and make sure the class you want to do is suitable for your skill level and that there is space in that class. We will remind everyone on our class groups when term starts. Happy Painting!
