Hidden Palette

Hidden Palette: Art & Home Evening Classes in Shipley, Leeds

Hidden Palette has always been one of those quiet, steady parts of the studio that I’ve held quite close. But recently, I felt like it was ready to evolve into something a little more open — and a bit more real to how people actually want to create.

It started life as a painting and drawing class, which I still absolutely love. But over time, I noticed something shifting in the studio.

People weren’t just wanting to paint a canvas and go home.

They wanted to make things that lived in their world.

Things with meaning. Things with purpose. Things that actually became part of their home.

So Hidden Palette began to change.

From painting class to Art & Home

Now, Hidden Palette sits under what I call Art & Home — a creative evening class in Leeds that brings together painting, drawing, and hands-on making.

It’s still rooted in art, but it’s no longer limited to the canvas.

Instead, it’s become a space where you can create things like:

* a portrait of your kids

* a cushion you’ve made for a guest room

* a piece of furniture or an heirloom brought back to life

* a small handmade terrarium for your kitchen windowsill

* a weighted lavender or lemongrass eye mask for slow, quiet evenings after long days

And those are just examples — not limits.

It’s about making things that actually belong somewhere in your life.

A creative space for real life

What I love most about this class is that it reflects real life.

Not perfect studio work. Not pressure. Not “finished pieces for display”.

Just time to create things that feel personal, useful, and meaningful.

Some weeks that might be painting. Other weeks it might be sewing, upcycling, ceramics, or small home projects you’ve been thinking about for ages but never quite started.

It’s fluid, and that’s the point.

I also wanted Hidden Palette to feel realistic for busy lives.

So instead of a rigid weekly commitment, you now book 4 sessions to use over 8 weeks.

That means:

* you don’t fall behind if life gets busy

* you can skip a week when you need to

* and you can return when it works for you

It’s creative consistency — without pressure.

Who it’s for

The Hidden Palette evening class in Leeds is perfect for:

* beginners who want to explore creativity again

* people who used to make things and want to come back to it

* anyone looking for relaxed evening art classes

* those who want to create for their home, not just for a canvas

Why I created it

At its core, this class is about something quite simple:

Making space for creativity in real life again.

Not as something extra. Not as something perfect.

But as something you return to — slowly, when you can — and build into your week in a way that feels good.

That’s what Hidden Palette has become.

A place to make things that matter, in a way that fits around everything else.
