A sip and paint in London is fabulously fun

A sip and paint in London is all about having as much fun as possible. Combining two surprisingly complementary mediums – drinking and drawing – our workshops offer painting with a twist and a unique and novel way to let your hair down. In an energetic, entertaining environment you’ll be encouraged to get creative as you learn to paint, accompanied by lots of laughs and plenty of support from your fellow artists and teacher.

With a little help from the glass of wine (or beer!) in your hand, you’ll be able to fully immerse yourself in the experience and learn to paint using a variety of mediums and your fellow artists for inspiration.

Our paint and sip classes also include some fun added extras to make the experience even more enjoyable – including the ‘sipping bell’, party games, music to sing along to and mini-competitions throughout.

A drink and draw session will unlock your imagination

Opportunities to indulge our imagination are always welcome – especially if you don’t get much time to get acquainted with your artistic side at work or home. Getting creative at an art class has lots of lovely benefits, including stress reduction, increased focus and a more positive outlook.

At a painting class, you’ll also have an opportunity to spend time away from your smartphone, computer or TV screen – swapping movie night with popcorn for an evening in front of the canvas! Let your imagination take you on a journey as you experience the magic of paint and sip, whether you decide to depict a beautiful beach, a stunning self-portrait or even a painting of your favourite pet!  

The beauty of art classes lies in their inclusivity; no prior experience is necessary, and classes cater to all skill levels – so whether you're an absolute beginner or a seasoned doodler, you'll find yourself welcomed and supported by a friendly and encouraging teacher. The focus is on having fun, exploring your creativity, and taking home a unique piece of art (and maybe even a newfound appreciation for artistic expression!) – not artistic perfection.

Socialise in a creative new setting with wine painting

A sip and paint in London is a fantastic way to meet new people – especially if you’re new to London or fancy branching out post-lockdown. In a compact and friendly group, you’ll be free to chat and connect with others over your love of art and socialise in a relaxing, chilled-out space.

We ensure that every sip and paint class is open to everyone and accessible to all abilities, so you’ll feel totally at ease and ready to get cracking on the canvas with your fellow art lovers.

Attending an art class with others is a great way to get those creative juices flowing if you need a little nudge in the right direction. During the painting class, you’ll have the opportunity to admire your neighbour’s artwork and even gain some inspiration for your own masterpiece!

Sip and paint classes help you get social

If it’s been far too long since you’ve seen your besties or caught up with your family, why not get the gang all together for an evening of fun at a paint and sip? You’ll have plenty of opportunities to fill each other in on what’s been going on over a refreshing glass of your favourite tipple.

Sometimes we need a date in the diary to get everyone together - and a painting class offers the perfect excuse to gather up your nearest and dearest for a day to remember!

Together you’ll each recreate your very own masterpiece in a relaxed party atmosphere. Our paint and wine workshops are just like being in a buzzing bar vibe complete with music – except you’ll easily be able to catch up and will have a mixology expert at your disposal! 

Looking for new ways to woo your other half? Couples painting classes make the ideal date night idea, especially if you want to think outside the box and leave the usual dinner and drinks behind. An evening spent learning how to paint, enjoying tasty tipples and creating artwork for your home will definitely spark the romance! 

You can learn a new skill in a relaxed environment 

As adults, we often relish any rare opportunity to try out new things and learn new skills – and learning to paint is something that’s a firm favourite on lots of people’s bucket lists!

A painting class is a great way to discover and try your hand at something different, especially if you don’t have the opportunity to get hands-on very often.

You may even uncover a hidden talent you never knew you had or a fabulous new hobby. Follow in the footsteps of famous artists, or develop your own signature style. At a paint and sip class, the sky’s the limit!

A paint and wine workshop will help you unwind

We all need a well-earned break every now and again! At a sip and paint class, you can take time out just for you to destress and reconnect with your artistic side.

Through exploring our creativity and doing something hands-on, a painting class can help to improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety and even make it easier to focus.

The environment at our painting classes has been specially created to be a relaxing, safe space where you can feel free to unplug, enjoy this de-stressing, social self-care activity and connect with those around you.

Creative workshops like art classes are especially calming and soothing for the mind, as they encourage us to enter a flow state, through repetitive motions and being fully immersed in the activity at hand.
