Brydie Niland is a Tewkesbury-based Artist, Therapeutic Art Coach, and the founder of Paint Pot Parties, a creative events business bringing people together through joyful, meaningful art experiences.
Launched in April 2024, Paint Pot Parties delivers beautifully curated creative events and award-winning art workshops across Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and The Cotswolds for both corporate & private clients, for anything from arty bridal showers to corporate work functions and creative brand launches.
They also host over 20 ticketed events per month including cosy Paint & Pudding Nights to bold Drag Arty Parties, Crafting Karaokes and high-energy Brushstroke Barndances, each event is thoughtfully designed to spark connection, creativity, and confidence – no prior art experience required.
In 2024, Paint Pot Parties was proud to receive the Global Creative Business Award from The Women’s Business Club, recognising its unique blend of creativity, inclusivity, and impact. Brydie’s journey into creative entrepreneurship is underpinned by a strong professional foundation. She is a qualified Project and Events Manager, with many years of experience working across the education and technology sectors before pursuing her passion for art and wellbeing. Her training as a Therapeutic Art Coach allows her to weave mindfulness, self-expression, and emotional wellbeing into every workshop she leads.
Inspired by a desire for greater flexibility and fulfilment as a mum of four young children, Brydie founded Paint Pot Parties to build a life and business that supports both family and community connection – proving that creativity can be both playful and powerful. At the heart of everything Brydie creates is a simple belief: art should be accessible, uplifting, and a little bit magical.
