Sip & Paint

Step away from the screen, slow down and create something

Modern life can feel busy, noisy and relentlessly online. This relaxed Sip & Paint evening offers an opportunity to step away from everyday pressures, spend time doing something creative and enjoy real-world connection in a warm, welcoming setting.

Join Hannah from Hannah Jayne Art at Barco Lounge in Selby for an uplifting evening of painting, prosecco and good company.

No previous painting experience is needed. You will be guided through the artwork step by step, with plenty of encouragement and absolutely no pressure to create anything “perfect.”

A creative pause from everyday life

Painting can provide a valuable change of pace when life feels stressful or overwhelming. Focusing on colours, shapes and brushstrokes can help you become absorbed in the moment and give your mind a break from everyday demands.

This is not a formal art class or a wellbeing workshop. It is simply a friendly, enjoyable opportunity to slow down, try something creative and leave with a painting you have made yourself.

Connect without the pressure

Meeting new people can sometimes feel daunting, particularly when conversation is the sole focus.

The shared Sip & Paint activity gives everyone something natural to talk about. You can come with friends, bring a partner or attend by yourself. The atmosphere will be sociable and inclusive, but there is no pressure to perform, compete or be especially outgoing.

Whether you chat throughout the evening or quietly become absorbed in your painting, you are welcome to enjoy the experience in your own way.

What to expect

Hannah will guide you through the featured painting from beginning to end, breaking it down into manageable steps and helping you along the way.

Your ticket includes:

• A relaxed, guided painting experience
• All art materials and equipment
• Your completed artwork to take home
• A complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival
• A welcoming and supportive environment

Everyone will work from the same general inspiration, but you will be encouraged to add your own personality to the finished piece.

Who is it for?

This event is suitable for adults of all abilities, including complete beginners.

You do not need to be “good at art,” naturally creative or confident in a social setting. The evening has been designed to feel approachable, enjoyable and free from judgement.

It could be just what you need if you would like to:

• Make more time for creativity
• Enjoy a restorative change from your usual routine
• Meet people in a natural, low-pressure environment
• Arrange a different kind of evening with friends
• Try painting without committing to a formal course
• Spend a little less time online and more time creating
