At No7 is a studio space set within my home in what was once The George Pub in Uffculme.
​
Initially offering painting workshops for beginners.
I do have two cats and a dog so it is not suitable for anyone with pet allergies.
​
My name is Niki Rice and I did my art foundation course at Demontfort Univeristy in Leicester and then went on to do an Arts Degree at Coventry University. I have participated in several group exhibitions and markets and have sold paintings and prints and undertaken commissions. You can check out some of my own artwork on the gallery page.
​
My aim is that the painting workshops are a relaxing, fun and inspiring activity that gives people an enjoyable and memorable experience.
​
I can also offer private party bookings for special occasions, Birthdays, Hen nights, Team Building or just a friends or family get together. Best to get in touch to discuss bespoke bookings/events.
​
The workshops are currently for small groups at a time. I have very limited parking at the front of No7 but there is usually more available on the next road to me on Markers Way. Again please get in touch to discuss if needed.
​
All workshops include tuition, all materials and a cup of tea or coffee.
​
These workshops are intended for adults, but over 10's could attend with a supervising adult.
Review from Karen Paige
Niki AtNo7 accommodated a bespoke booking for a group of seven of us to paint a super colourful McCow. We were a group of colleagues who wanted something a little different as a leaving do for a special member of our team. Relaxing music, a cup of tea at half time, brilliant creative guidance and we all left absolutely buzzing about our very individual pieces of artwork. Thank you Niki

A lovely review from Penelope.......
I have enjoyed 2 workshops at No 7 painting a Seascape scene and a Sunset. I have a 3rd to look forward to, painting the blossom tree….
​
Niki sets a scene of tranquil ambiance with a warm welcome, warm room and if you are lucky, a warm welcome from gorgeous waggy tailed Pet dog Sammy.
​
Everything is ready and sitting down you enter into a zone of relaxation and peace. Gentle Ambient music that provides the perfect frequency of calm to disappear into the subject matter of painting the scene.
​
Niki is both attentive and supportive without being intrusive in any way … I would describe it as a natural flow of care, and change of water if needed! Advice and observations from her as an experienced Artist when needed are supportive and very helpful.
​
The whole experience I found to be relaxing, creative and nurturing.
Highly recommend this!
