Meet Our Painting Instructors
Hannah - Owner & Lead Instructor
The Paint Lab began in 2019 as a small passion project, created to bring people together through creativity. During the pandemic, I started running online workshops to support people’s mental health and offer a space for connection. What began as simple sessions quickly grew into hundreds of in-person workshops across the UK, hosted in amazing local venues. My aim is always to make creativity feel accessible and fun!
Now, while living between Dubai and the UK and working as an international school Art teacher, I’m excited to be bringing The Paint Lab to a new home. Launching in Dubai opens up fresh opportunities to connect, create, and continue building a community where art and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Empowering Creativity & Wellbeing
Art is more than just creativity on a canvas—it’s a powerful tool for wellbeing. The simple act of painting encourages mindfulness, helping us slow down, focus on the present moment, and let go of daily stresses. Colours, brushstrokes, and self-expression provide a safe space to process emotions, boost confidence, and spark joy.
Creating art has been shown to support mental health by reducing anxiety, lifting mood, and fostering connection—whether that’s through shared creative experiences or personal reflection. At its heart, art reminds us that taking time for ourselves is not just valuable, but essential.
