Psst... the fun starts here

Tiny faces. Huge imaginations.

Some days call for cake. Some call for a child who absolutely, positively must be a tiger. Wizard of Arts brings professional face painting and a little extra wonder to both.

Based in Congleton, we bring the colour to parties and events across Cheshire and Staffordshire.

The fun bit

Not just face paint. A whole new alter ego.

Little people, big feelings

Choosing can take a minute. That is part of the fun, not a race to the paintbrush.

Ideas can get wonderfully weird

Butterfly? Brilliant. Butterfly with tiger stripes? Now we are talking.

A plan without the panic

A few event details up front help everyone focus on the good bit: the big reveal.

Big smiles, brilliant memories

From the first look in the mirror to the last party photo, it is all about a little extra joy.

The theme is just the beginning

Face paint, designed around your theme.

Tell me the party theme, a favourite character or simply a colour palette, and I can build the face-painting around it. Every design starts with your idea: shaping its colours, patterns and finish so it feels at home at your celebration. Fine floral details, a bright rainbow butterfly, an expressive animal or a bold superhero mask can all start with one request: “Could you make it fit this theme?”

A shared theme needn’t mean identical faces. Designs can work as a coordinated collection while giving each child a look of their own, with details arranged to bring the idea to life. From pop-inspired characters and glowing UV colour to delicate flowers and spooky skulls, the gallery below shows just how different a face-painting style can feel. Have another theme in mind? I’d love to explore it with you.
