If you happened to be in Guildford, Surrey in the early hours of Monday 29th December you may have had a glimpse of Sam and Claire, two rather excited local face painters rushing around making final preparations for their first ever jam!!

But, what is a jam?  Its a get together of local (and not-so-local!) painters all looking to exchange ideas, tip and tricks and share designs.  And have a good natter of course!

The event was very kindly and generously sponsored by Dauphines of Bristol (www.dauphines.co.uk) who made the long trip up from Bristol to join us for the day. They also provided us with lovely goody bags to welcome all our attendees and a very generous raffle prize. As a result of the small door entry charge and phenomenal support for the raffle we raised nearly £250 (double what we expected) for Royal Surrey County Hospital.

We had great fun running the event and would like to thank everyone who gave their support.
