Your Splatter Lab questions answered
-
Is the paint safe and washable?
We use non-toxic, water-based, washable paints for our splatter experiments. Expect paint on skin, hair and clothes as the session gets going. Wear old clothes and shoes you are happy to get colourful, and bring a change of clothes. We cannot promise every fabric will come out spotless.
-
Will my child get covered in paint from head to toe?
Expect a thoroughly colourful child. Clothes, arms and legs often become part of the artwork as your child gets carried away with their experiments. Come prepared for head-to-toe mess, with old clothes for the session and fresh clothes and towels for the journey home afterwards.
-
Can parents get involved too?
Absolutely. You can join the paint experiments, let go and feel like a kid again alongside your child. Non-painting adults can watch for free. An adult must stay in the studio throughout the session to supervise, so you can share the fun from start to finish.
-
What should we bring for the journey home?
Bring a change of clothes and a couple of towels for the car or bus journey home. Wear old clothes and shoes during the session, as paint can end up almost everywhere. We handle the studio clean-up, but your colourful crew will still need to travel home.
-
Can I drop my child off?
No. An adult must stay in the studio throughout the one-hour session to supervise your child. Splatter Lab runs from 12–1 pm on weekends and during school holidays. You can stay to watch or get involved alongside your child while our team handles the studio clean-up.
-
Can we take any artwork home?
Your wall artwork stays in the studio, and you are welcome to take photographs. Add a separate 30 × 40 cm takeaway canvas to your booking for £5 at checkout. Your child can paint their canvas during the session and carry their own colourful creation home afterwards.
-
What ages is Splatter Lab for?
Splatter Lab is for children aged 5–11, with an adult staying throughout the session. Choose your preferred weekend or school-holiday date when booking. Our studio team helps your child get started with their experiments, then takes care of the studio clean-up after your visit.
-
Can we bring our own painting tools?
Yes. Bring a clean, safe everyday object that can hold or move paint. Bath toys, silicone pastry brushes, bendy squeegees and old hairbrushes are all ideas to try. Your child can experiment with their secret weapon alongside the tools we provide in the studio.
-
What is included in the session?
Your booking includes an hour of freestyle splatter painting on our giant 2-metre studio walls, with paints, painting tools and studio clean-up provided. Our team helps your child get started. A separate 30 × 40 cm take-home canvas is available as an optional £5 add-on.
-
Is the session loud and energetic?
Yes. Expect loud music, dynamic lights and energetic, child-led paint experiments. Splatter Lab is a lively freestyle session rather than a quiet painting activity. If you have questions about the environment before booking, call us so you can decide whether the session suits your child.
