Bring creative workshops to your venue

Bring people together for something creative, social, and a little bit different.

I host relaxed, social art workshops, from painting to printmaking and pastels, designed to bring people together in a creative setting. These sessions work particularly well in pubs, wine bars and cafés, helping to bring in new customers, create a great atmosphere, and naturally increase food and drink spend.

Meet your host…

Eva Merendes is a London-based visual artist, teacher and experienced workshop facilitator known for creating relaxed, welcoming creative sessions.

She has led workshops for a wide range of clients including Google, Bloom & Wild, and The Gentlemen Baristas, as well as events like the Loire Wines Festival London. She also runs regular sessions across London, including weekly workshops at Cass Art in Kingston, Lavender Print School in Clapham Junction and Your Creative Space in Earlsfield.

With a background in psychology and art psychotherapy, Eva has a calm, intuitive teaching style that puts people at ease (even if they haven’t picked up a paintbrush since school!) Her sessions are as much about enjoying the process as they are about what you create.

  • "We had a huge range of abilities in our class, from colleagues with Fine Art degrees to team members who hadn't picked up a paintbrush since school. Somehow, Eva managed to create a fun and engaging session for all of us. The highest praise I can give is that no one wanted the class to end!"

    - Sam, Bloom & Wild

  • "We hosted a fruit and veg themed workshop with Eva and it was such a lovely evening. The whole thing felt really relaxed and welcoming, and our customers absolutely loved it (lots of laughs, great energy, and a few surprisingly good paintings by the end!) It brought in new faces as well as regulars, and people stayed longer than usual, which was a real bonus for us. We’d definitely do it again.”

    — Vicky, Offbeet Café

  • "I can't believe I came for the wine and ended up painting with it! Which was not what I expected, but such a highlight. Eva’s workshop was relaxed, creative, and genuinely different. Painting the flavours we were tasting like figs, berries and citrus fruits made the whole thing feel really special and immersive.

    — Emma, Loire Wine Festival Attendee

  • "I’ve done a few paint & sip classes before, but Eva's Print & Sip workshop felt completely different in the best way. The lino printing was so satisfying, and once you had your design finished, you could make loads of cards really quickly, which was perfect for Christmas. It felt really relaxed and fun, and I left with a stack of cards I was actually excited to send."

    - Yuliya, Print & Sip Attendee

I’m so grateful for every person who joins or hosts a workshop, and even more grateful when they take the time to share their experience. Have you attended or hosted a session with me? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Let’s make something happen!
