How Arty Boat Brought Wooden Duck Painting to Devon 🦆

Today, wooden duck painting in Devon is our most popular creative activity — it all began here at Arty Boat in Exmouth.

We created our wooden duck workshops to offer something different from traditional craft sessions — a relaxed, welcoming experience where visitors and locals could slow down, get creative and make something memorable.

What started as a simple idea has grown into the much-loved Signature Wooden Duck Experience™ — now known as a unique duck painting experience in Devon.

Creating a New Creative Experience in Devon

Arty Boat first introduced wooden duck painting in Exmouth, there was nothing quite like it locally, and it created quite a stir, with people flocking from all over to make one!

We wanted to create an activity that felt special but approachable — something suitable for beginners while still being creative and personal.

The idea was simple: a fully hosted session where you could design and paint your own wooden duck in a relaxed seaside studio.

Over time this became the Arty Boat Signature Wooden Duck Painting Experience™, a calm and welcoming creative activity enjoyed by visitors from across Devon and beyond.
