YOUR GUEST CANVAS
"The painting that hangs in our living room is so much more than just paint on canvas." Ben & Sato aug 2019
BE ONE OF THE FIRST WEDDINGS TO FEATURE THIS EVENT.
Are you looking for a new kind of entertainment at your wedding, birthday, hen do, baby shower or family celebration?
At our unique painting event Cedars Yard invites you and your guests to join artist Emma to help paint a canvas for your home.
This fun and creative activity is a real conversational piece as guests watch each other work and admire the artwork as it progresses. You don't need to think you're artistic as tape will guide you to paint in a section and an opportunity to sign the back means well wishes will be easily passed on.
WE ENDEVOUR TO MAKE SURE YOU'LL LOVE IT IN YOUR HOME.
Prior to your event Emma will have a consultation meeting with you, where we discuss size, colours and style. This works best with a large canvas but if that doesn't suit your home we can work on a few smaller canvases which make great gifts to those special to you. Meaning you'll have a lasting beautiful memory of your day.
Prices start from £450
Includes phone consultation, 2/3 hours at event, completion of painting after & delivery of work.
Available in Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex and beyond. (all areas considered)

REVIEW - Ben & Sato August 2019
We recently got married at Haslemere museum last month. Emma came and hosted a "your guest canvas" event. We weren't sure what to expect at first but Emma came round and discussed colours and her ideas. By that point we were so excited, Emma's enthusiasm and passion shone through and was contagious!
We arrived at our reception to see this big canvas with our guests buzzing around it excitedly, picking up a paint brush and getting stuck in. It was a wonderful focal point of the drinks reception - it stimulated conversation, creativity, laughter and even some competition.
Emma had thought of everything, even old-school backwards shirts so that suits and dresses were protected.
We came back from our honeymoon and Emma brought round the piece having put on finishing touches. It's just incredible - the colours leap off the wall and gleam when the light hits it.
Weeks later our family and friends are still chatting about it and they can't wait to see the finished piece when they come over. We're having great fun figuring out who did what bit.
The painting that hangs in our living room is so much more than just paint on canvas. It's got a little bit of everyone in it and we're so pleased that Emma could make this happen. We'll look at it everyday and remember our wedding - we'll truly cherish it. Thankyou.

MINDFULNESS THROUGH EXPRESSIVE DRAWING
Everyone can draw, and by that
I mean everyone can physically
make marks to show they're presence.
With a focus on well being and enjoying art Emma runs expressive drawing workshops that allow you get back to the route of creativity with freedom to explore different drawing and painting techniques.
Utilising learnings from the japanese teachings of Wabi Sabi and her own mindful and artistic journey Emma encourages the mantra of enjoying the process over worrying about end result. We don't always end up with something stereotypically beautiful but we create work with soul and energy.
