About this Event

Art with Abandon: Messy Play for Grown Ups

Relax your mind. Experiment freely. Embrace the joy of making a mess.

Art with Abandon is a one-hour immersive messy play session designed just for adults (ages 18+), with no rules, no pressure, and absolutely no expectations. This is your invitation to step away from perfectionism and reconnect with pure, unfiltered creativity.

Finger paint, splash, smear, layer, and explore. Whether you haven’t picked up a brush in a while or you’re simply craving a new kind of release, this session is about the process, not the product.

Why It Feels Good to Let Go

Letting go of control and creating freely can have therapeutic benefits, helping to reduce stress, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect you with the present moment. Engaging in open, expressive art-making can support wellbeing, giving you space to process without words.

Come as you are. Leave the inner critic at the door.

The session is run by Art Psychotherapist Stacey Kiely. 

Need to Know

No experience needed, there is no “right way” to create. Just an hour to play, unwind, and rediscover the freedom of art without expectation.

Wear something you don’t mind getting messy—and bring your curiosity.

Your ticket includes entry to the Play experience. 

Session run by Stacey Kiely. Stacey trained at Goldsmiths College, London and has been an Art Psychotherapist for over 15 years.
