About Us
Who We Are
Oak & Elephant Art Events is an art workshop brand that celebrates creativity and connection. We want our audience to feel welcome, inspired, and excited to translate their personal experiences into art.
Situated in the beautiful Cumbrian landscape, workshops are conducted both inside and outdoors, fostering creativity in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
Oak & Elephant is an unusual name for an art business...
You're not wrong, but we wanted something that reflected what we try to build our workshops around:
Oak represents growth, connection with nature and the world, and the natural Cumbrian environment.
Elephant symbolises a gentle, friendly, and playful nature — and the memories we want to keep safe.
What We Offer
Each session blends connection with creativity, encouraging participants to slow down, reflect, and express their stories through art. Oak & Elephant workshops offer:
- Painting and sketching experiences that help people capture meaningful moments
- Friendly art workshops centred around drawing memories from holidays and life
- Creating art for your home
- Rediscovering the joy of creating
Our Goal
To make art accessible, fun, and social for everyone. We believe creativity is for all — and that the best experiences happen when people come together, let go of perfection, and simply enjoy the process.
