Searching for creative weekend activities? Perhaps you’ve got a birthday party to plan or you’re looking for date night ideas? Then a wine and painting workshop is calling your name! Forget stuffy art galleries and intimidating instruction – imagine swirling colours on a canvas while sipping your favourite tipple, surrounded by laughter and good vibes. Sounds pretty darn good, right?

But if you're new to the paint and drink scene, questions might be swirling in your head. Don’t worry, this beginner's guide will answer everything you need to know before your first artistic adventure!

What happens at paint and drink classes?

Think of it as a party thrown in an art studio! Typically, a friendly instructor will guide you step-by-step through recreating a chosen artwork. Don't panic if your drawing skills only amount to a stick figure either – these classes are designed for all levels, from complete novices to budding Michelangelos. As you follow along, unleash your inner artist (and your competitive spirit if you like) while enjoying refreshing drinks and snacks. By the end, you'll walk away with your very own masterpiece, a newfound appreciation for artistic expression, and memories to cherish.

Do I need any previous art experience?

Absolutely not! The beauty of paint and drink classes lies in their inclusivity. If you've never touched a paintbrush or dabbled in doodles, these paint n sip workshops cater to beginners (but experienced artists are also welcome!). Forget intimidating critiques and artistic pressure – it's all about fun, relaxation, and letting your creativity flow freely.

Should I bring my own equipment?

Nope! Our sip n paint workshops provide everything you need: canvases, brushes, paints, and even aprons. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, an open mind, and maybe a friend or two for double the fun!

What should I wear to a paint and sip workshop?

Comfort is key! Opt for loose-fitting clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint-splattered (accidents happen, but that's all part of the fun!). Think casual attire you can move freely in, like jeans and a t-shirt. Leave the stilettos at home and wear comfortable shoes you can easily navigate the studio with.

What sort of things can I paint?

The possibilities are endless! From charming landscapes and captivating portraits to funky abstracts and pop culture icons, our paint and drink teachers offer a diverse range of themes to cater to every taste. You might find yourself painting vibrant sunsets, playful animals, or even your favourite movie characters. The choice is yours, and remember, there's no right or wrong in artistic expression!

Can I bring my friends to a sip n paint?

Absolutely! In fact, gathering your friends for a paint and sip party is a fantastic way to celebrate birthdays, hen parties, team-building activities, or simply a fun night out. Many studios offer group discounts and private event options, so grab your besties and get ready to paint, laugh, and create unforgettable memories together.

Are wine and art classes expensive?

Surprisingly, paint and drink classes are quite affordable! Depending on the studio, duration, and complexity of the chosen artwork, prices start from around £20 per person. Considering the unique experience, memories created, and the artwork you take home, it's an investment in creativity and fun that won't break the bank.
