🎨 Our Story

At The Fauve Palette, we believe everyone has an artistic voice. We aim to provide fun and unique art workshops to reconnect you with your imagination, building your confidence and self - esteem.

The Founder

Hi, I'm Georgina Derby. I'm a qualified art teacher with years of experience teaching Art lessons. I founded The Fauve Palette in order to bring painting into social, inspiring spaces. I personally curate and lead every workshop. We take our name from the Fauves—the early 20th-century 'wild beast' painters like Henri Matisse who broke all the rules and embraced bold, unapologetic colour to paint for the pure joy of it. We are here to help you unlock your creativity, play with colour, and enjoy a creative social experience.

Creativity and Wellness

Painting is a form of active mindfulness - a chance to slow down, unplug and enjoy the creative process. There are no mistakes in our studio, only happy accidents. We hope you’ll leave our sessions not just with a finished canvas, but with an inspired mind and a recharged spirit.

Building a Town of Artists

Our mission goes beyond teaching classes; we want to help build a vibrant town of everyday artists. By bringing art into neighbourhood spaces, we actively support our local pubs and independent venues, turning regular weeknights into thriving cultural hubs. Every ticket bought helps keep our community's high streets and social spaces buzzing with life.
