What it’s like
Sip & Paint sessions where you work from a set scene, like a moonlit lake or a window with flowers, on a proper canvas.
This is a paint-along evening rather than a drop-in craft table. You pick from a set list of scenes, Forest Stream, Window with Flowers, Moonlight Lake, Mountains by the Lake, or Wintry Super Moon, and work through it on canvas with acrylics. The style they go for is bold and loose, all brush and palette knife work rather than fine detail, so nobody's expecting a photorealistic result and that takes the pressure off.
Prices split by scene. The two more detailed options, Forest Stream and Window with Flowers, run £42, while the simpler skies and lakes come in at £36. That's a fair chunk more than a standard pottery painting session, but you're leaving with a full canvas rather than a mug.
There's no framing included, so what you get is a bare canvas you can put in whatever frame suits your own walls at home. They're also clear that they work from photos rather than live sittings if you're after a portrait rather than a scene, which is a different kind of session altogether.
Nothing on their site nails down an age range for these sessions, so if you're bringing a younger child it's worth thinking about whether they can sit through painting a full scene rather than a quick craft.
Plan your visit
How much does a Sip & Paint session cost?
It depends on the scene. Forest Stream and Window with Flowers are £42, while Moonlight Lake, Mountains by the Lake and Wintry Super Moon are £36.
What materials do they use?
Acrylic paints and Gesso on canvas or board, which they say gives a lasting finish.
Do we get the artwork framed?
No, artworks come unframed so you can choose a frame that matches your own home.
Can we book a portrait session instead of a scene?
They only do portraits from photos you provide, not live sittings, so that's a separate booking to the Sip & Paint events.
