Face Painting Skills - Level 1 - Halloween Special 🎃

Thank you for your interest and for coming to find out more about face painting training in Norwich.

NB - I’m on silent retreat (with no device) until 15th October. I’ll be able to answer any queries on 15th. Thank you for your patience.

WHY LEARN TO FACE PAINT?
Do your children (or partner) beg you to create some design or other on Halloween? 🎃 💀 🧙

Maybe you want to volunteer for school events and wow everyone with your face painting skills 🎨 

Or do you love the idea of painting something like a flowery sugar skull for yourself, or your child, but Snazaroo face paints and brushes just aren’t cutting it? 🌺 💀

I’ve painted thousands of children and adults over 13 years as a professional face painter. It’s brought me so much joy, a decent income, a ton of experience in business and humility. On top of everything, and the reason I started - it’s brought me closer to people, out of my head, and into my art 🎨

We ALL have creativity inside of us. For some it’s been stifled by someone’s comment that “you’re just not artistic”, or by thoughtless criticism. Eventually becoming a limiting belief that they don’t challenge.

For others, they just don’t find the time - there’s always something else, something “constructive”, that takes priority 🕰️

We ALL deserve the chance to express ourselves creatively.

If I couldn’t create I would (and very nearly did) go loopy 🤪

When I started face painting it was messy, didn’t look like I wanted it to at all, and I found it frustrating. I quickly realised how much external opinion I’d internalised from my childhood - “Not good enough”, “Not as good as (insert name of classmate here), “Not finished in time”, “Too slow”. Even now I feel it in my body as anxiety, when I’m slower than I’m expected to be

Much of learning is making mistakes. It is messy, and it should be fun - not riddled with anxiety 🤩 

There weren’t any courses, and barely any decent videos on the internet. It took a LOT of trawling, begging for advice, trial and error, money, time and energy💰

My favourite way to learn is with others, in person, and sharing the experience.

Join us for a full day of immersion. Embrace the mess and mistakes that are essential for learning.
