About Face - face painting, make-up and body art by Zoë Thornbury-Phillips

Face painting workshops

…for beginners, intermediate and experienced artists.

The weekday sessions are usually run from 10.00am-2.30pm, They are held in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire (a 35 minute train journey from London, Euston). For larger groups we hold them at a lovely arts centre in the town. see www.recreateberko.co.uk Workshops are run with a small group and include demonstrations and lots of hands on practice. You will learn to paint flowers, spiders and butterflies to mention but a few

We find out what you want to get out of the day and direct the training accordingly. We assure that students leave with the improved techniques and confidence (whatever their experience) to get more out of their face painting or make up artistry. Please note: products are supplied, at beginners and family workshops only .

For groups of six, or more, our teacher will travel to a suitable venue (one of your homes, at your school or a local hall) and also receive a third off the price per person.

Fantasy make-up and body art workshops

Great for cosmetic make-up artists who want to learn more about working with water based make up. If you have no experience at all with these products, I initially recommend the beginners face painters workshop. Body Art workshops are great for experienced face painters who want to try something new, and find different ways of using their skills. Contact us if learning body art interests you.

Family workshops

Run in the school holidays, from 11am-2pm, with products supplied (if needed), parents and children can come together and learn some facepainting skills. Children over 10 can come alone. Get painted by the professional and then learn how to do it yourselves. Kids can paint their parents and we will take lots of photos for memories of a very fun day for all.
