I found out about them via a Facebook ad and became addicted to the works of art that their studio puts out. Each week they release new and exciting classes and workshops to enjoy. Whether you are a kid, or an adult, or part of a family, there is a class for everyone. I purchased a class for my friends birthday. We did the "Expressionist Layers" workshop. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by the girl who would be our instructor. We were given name tags which was a nice touch. There was only 5 of us so we were able to warm up to each other quite quickly. For this type of class there wasn't too much instruction. We were going to use the paint knives to create some abstract art, dry it, and then draw a quote or words on top. The instructor was 100% into letting us do what we wanted but offered great advice in terms of what colours to use so we didn't end up with a brown painting. I'm glad she mentioned that I should try white as it transformed my art into something else completely (for the better). The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that you have to pay for them to stretch the canvas. Having done Paint Nite, you get to work on a pre-stretched canvas. I dont know if I want to pay to put it up on the wall just yet. Speaking of Paint Nite, keep in mind that this is an art studio so it is a bit of a different experience. Paint Nite is more of a night out (drinking, full instruction, adults only, etc), whereas I found this workshop at 4Cats was very free will and more creative. I know that children are sometimes allowed in certain classes as well. 4Cats also offers workshops in different types of paints and mediums. Ever wanted to create a pottery bowl a la Ghost? Well you've found the spot! For about $25 you can get a few hours of fun with a friend, or by yourself, and create something amazing. We all came out super proud of our work and the instructor was so happy we were excited with what we came up with.

This is a perfect space for a smaller event with urban flare. As I add happenings around London to the Yelp Events page, I always find a TON of stuff happening at the Arts Project. From plays, exhibits, painting, to event hosting, this place is a multifaceted space with great work on the walls. I took some time to take in the art while we celebrated at the event and each piece was very lovely. I don't know too much about art galleries or art itself but I really enjoyed my time here. It felt relaxed, yet exclusive. Next time you need a spot to host an event, check out the Arts Project, you will be glad you did!

Well I guess good things come to those who wait because Paint Nite has finally made its way to London and it was just as much fun as I expected. Now, I love art. I'm no artist. But I love drawing, painting, and creating. So this is right up my alley. However, Paint Nite is perfect for anyone who can draw a stick person, to the Mona Lisa. When you purchase your tickets online, you can see what painting you will complete that night, and the difficulty of it, which is a bonus. Use the coupon "PNLondon" when ordering! The Paint Nite session I attended was held in a room above Fellini Koolini's. We were given aprons, a water cup, a brush, some paints, and a plate to mix it on. The painting we did looked a bit different than the one online but that was only because it really could be left up to interpretation. I'm sure some paintings are more concrete in nature. The instructor was really fun and entertaining while keeping us on task. She also had an assistant who helped with getting more supplies for the painters. There was music in the background which made it fun because the playlist was filled with songs we all love to sing along to. The drink service left much to be desired. After I was seated, my drink order wasnt taken even though he dropped off some drinks next to me. I ordered a water and he forgot about it. I wont hold the drink service to Paint Nite, but that was the only part of my night that could have been a bit better! I recommend Paint Nite for a group of friends or even coworkers as a team building or bonding experience. What a fun time! I cant wait to do it again soon. I hope I have enough wall space...
