Yesterday was pure magic at the Kids Craft Workshop! 🎨✨
Working six hours on my feet while eight months pregnant—and with my two little girls in tow—was definitely a true test of endurance, but I am so happy I did it. The energy, the smiles, and the incredible creations these talented little ones made made every single second worth it!
The response at the Porto Lounge completely blew me away. We had people coming up to us all day asking if there were any spare spaces! Seeing how much fun the kids had from start to finish truly filled my heart.
Because yesterday was such a success, I’m excited to announce that I’ll definitely be setting up Autumn-themed Kids Workshops at both the Porto Lounge and the Barranco Lounge in Filton! 🍂🍁
Keep a close eye on this page for those details coming soon—spaces go fast and I’d hate for anyone to miss out.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my little business and my growing family. I can’t wait to see you all again soon! 💕

Workshop Craft chaos, but make it worth it 🎨✨
Prep for my upcoming children’s craft workshops in the Porto lounge is in full swing! I won’t lie, getting everything ready has been a massive effort—especially with my two little girls off from school for the holidays. Balancing mum duty while surrounded by a sea of bright, colorful craft supplies is pure beautiful madness.
That said, seeing it all come together makes every late night totally worth it. I am beyond grateful to announce that both sessions are officially SOLD OUT! 🎟️🙌
Thank you all so much for the incredible support. I truly can't wait to see all your little creatives and get messy together! See you very soon! 👇

🌈 Kids craft setup behind the scenes! 🎨✨
Swipe through for a little look at setting up for our last kids' workshop! 🖍️👇
Honestly, looking back at these photos makes me so happy. 🥰 I have to keep it real though: setting everything up at 7 ½ months pregnant with my own two little girls in tow was definitely a juggle! 🤰🤪
It was hard work, but seeing all the children get so stuck in, try new things, and proudly show off what they made made every single step worth it. I'm so glad I went for it. ❤️
Now that I've had a little rest, I'm getting everything prepped for our next kids' workshop next Wednesday! ☀️🎨
If you'd love to bring your little one along for a cozy, creative morning, all the details and booking links are over on our website (link in bio).
Hope to see some familiar faces next week! 💛

🌸 CRAFT & BLOOM IS COMING TO PORTO LOUNGE! 🌷✨

🎨 What we are creating together:
We’ll start by painting a dreamy, blended pastel background.

🎟️ SPECIAL MID-WEEK OFFER: £23 per person!
(I am running a little behind on advertising this month, so I’ve dropped the ticket price to give you a lovely late-summer treat! Everything you need—including your own floral bunch—is fully included!)
* When: Wednesday 19th August 2026 | 7:00pm–8:30pm
* Where: Porto Lounge, Fishponds, Bristol

As always, absolutely no painting experience is needed! Whether you come along solo for some quiet mid-week "me-time" or grab a bestie for a drink and a catch-up, I promise a cozy, café-style evening where you can just slow down and play with blooms. 💛
Spaces are strictly limited to keep things intimate and cozy!

Ciao Bella! 🍋✨ I am SO incredibly excited to announce our newest experience: The 3D Lemon Canvas Workshop at The Hidden Casita!
Step into a Mediterranean summer afternoon with me, Anastasia! This isn't just a painting class—it’s a curated, sensory escape designed to make you feel like you've been transported straight to a sun-drenched Italian terrace or a vibrant Latin courtyard right here in Downend.

We are taking canvas painting to a whole new, tactile level. Whether you want to treat yourself to a peaceful afternoon of "me time" or grab your best friends for a chic creative date out, this workshop is designed to feel like a mini-holiday for your soul.
✨ Here is what’s waiting for you at our table:
🍋 The 3D Masterpiece: You won't just be painting a flat picture! You’ll use precision masking tape to create chic, crisp background stripes, paint delicate tree branches with leaves, and attach custom-molded 3D half-lemons that pop right off the canvas. It’s modern, textured, and looks like a high-end art piece.

🧴 The First Pour Ritual: Start your afternoon by grounding your senses with a fresh drop of our signature artisanal body oil on your wrists before picking up a brush.
🍹 2 Complimentary Curated Drinks: Sit back and sip! Your ticket includes two delicious, premium non-alcoholic drinks per person, perfectly paired to match the summery Mediterranean vibe.
🌿 A Stunning Setting: From the moment you walk into The Hidden Casita, you’ll be immersed in a beautifully styled atmosphere with gorgeous tablescapes, uplifting music, and warm lighting.
🎨 100% Beginner Friendly & Stress-Free: Don't let the 3D part scare you! I’ll be guiding you step-by-step through every single technique—from geometric background stripes to assembling your 3D elements with ease. All premium materials and aprons are fully provided!

You'll leave with new skills, a happy heart, and a stunning 3D piece of art you’ll be proud to display in your home. 💛

✨🌼 BIG NEWS! 🌼✨

I'm so excited to finally share this with you all... 💛

This August, I'll be hosting my 2nd Kids Craft Workshops, and I honestly couldn't think of a more wonderful place to begin than Porto Lounge in Fishponds!🎉

As many of you know, I absolutely love bringing people together through creativity, and after seeing so many little ones enjoying crafting alongside their grown-ups at my events, it felt like the perfect time to create something just for them!

So... say hello to my first workshop...

🌼 Summer Garden Kids Craft Workshop

I've created two sessions to suit different age groups, making sure everyone gets to enjoy crafts that are just right for them.

🌸 Ages 3–5 | 1:00pm–2:00pm

Your little creatives will make:
🍦 A Handprint Ice Cream Keepsake
