Paint-along
with Maz
Creating meaningful connection and joyful engagement can be beneficial for all, especially for our more senior members of our community. Paint-Along with Maz is a tailored creative workshop experience designed especially for retirement communities—bringing colour, laughter, and gentle creativity into your community. These sessions aren’t just about making art, they’re about enhancing wellbeing, stimulating memory, and fostering social connection.
With a warm, friendly approach and a background in visual arts, I guide residents step-by-step, encouraging them to explore their creativity without pressure. Research shows that creative pursuits can help improve mood, reduce stress, and support cognitive function in older adults—and most importantly, it’s fun! Let’s bring the joy of creativity into your space and watch your residents light up with pride in what they create.

FAQs
-
BaptistCare have booked Fridays.
-
Not at all! These workshops are designed for all skill levels, and many participants are trying painting for the very first time. Just the social aspect is reason enough to participate.
-
Yes! All art supplies are provided, including paper, paints, and brushes anything else needed - like bikkies!
-
A quiet communal room with tables and chairs works perfectly. I bring everything else and handle setup and cleanup.
-
I’ll arrive about an hour before the session starts to set up and will need around 30 minutes afterward to clean and pack up. A spacious, well-lit room with tables and chairs is ideal. Access to a sink or water source is helpful but not essential.
-
Yes, absolutely. If your company only accepts invoices as a method of payment for contractors. Just let me know and I’ll send you an invoice.
-
I’m very conscious of transmissible illness, especially when working with vulnerable seniors. If I’m unwell or unable to attend, I’ll notify you as early as possible. The missed session will be rescheduled and added to the end of your booked block at no extra cost.
-
No worries, creating isn’t for everyone. If a participant chooses to discontinue, feel free to offer their spot to someone else. However, the minimum booking is for 10 participants, so if there’s a no-show or you can’t fill their place, that’s totally fine. The group will still run as planned.
