Lisa Lochhead – Gallery & Studio
Lisa started painting in 2014 after she was intuitively guided to paint how she felt the connection to the ‘Divine Feminine’ within her as an unfolding communication. At this time she was going through a major life change as her conditional yes in life was breaking down. As her way of seeing herself and her connection to her place in the world was going through this breakdown she felt compelled to buy a big canvas and pick up a paintbrush and paint. Her extensive background experience teaching meditation and spiritual practices led her to approach creating art as an intuitive, meditative and listening practice. Mystically inspired intuitive and visionary artist celebrating and inspiring the inherent power and beauty of Woman, Womanhood and the Divine Feminine through her soulful art. Artist, Teacher, Facilitator, Creative Catalyst.

HOW IT WORKS: When you arrive at Doodle Alley we will be there to greet you and tell you how it all works.

Ceramic paint is wonderful as it just washes right off! So don’t worry if you or your guests get covered – we promise it comes off clothes!
LENGTH OF STAY: Our slots are based on 1hr 30 mins but don’t panic if you haven’t finished we can pop some paints in a takeaway kit for you to finish off at home and drop back for firing (but if we have space we will always squeeze you a bit of extra time!).
PRICE: Our prices vary to suit all budgets but start from £9.95. You can get a good idea of our pottery prices within the ‘Takeaway Kits’ section in the menu.
FIRING: Your pieces are left with us to be glazed and fired. They will have a beautiful durable finish.
COLLECTION: At the end, during payment we will take your full details and drop you a call when they are ready. You can expect collection within two weeks of your painting session.
