🦡 Barnaby the Badger

A calm, grounding paint night for adults

Come paint Barnaby — steady, grounding, and quietly comforting

(just like you needed).

This is not about being “arty”.

It’s about slowing down, switching off, and letting yourself enjoy a couple of hours that feel gentle and nourishing.

Why a badger?

Badgers are known for being:

• Grounded — deeply connected to the earth

• Resilient — steady, persistent, quietly strong

• Independent — comfortable doing things their own way

• Patient — they don’t rush; they build slowly and well

• Protective of their energy — they rest when they need to

Barnaby carries all of this.

He doesn’t believe in hustle or perfection.

He believes in showing up — layer by layer, brushstroke by brushstroke.

In trusting that what you’re making doesn’t need to be loud to be meaningful.

This paint night is perfect for you if you:

• Think you’re “not creative”

• Feel a bit frazzled, overstimulated, or stretched thin

• Want something calming, comforting, and quietly satisfying

• Just need a bloody nice couple of hours to switch off

What to expect

• A step-by-step guided painting session

• All materials provided — canvas, paints, brushes, aprons

• A relaxed, friendly atmosphere (no pressure, no judgement)

• You’ll leave with your own painted Barnaby the Badger

Painting Barnaby isn’t about getting it “right”.

It’s about slowing down, grounding yourself, and remembering that steady is strong.

And honestly?

Barnaby would be very proud of you for showing up at all.
