Paint and Sip Evening with Fired Arts

Fired Arts are hosting a paint and sip evening at the My Fathers Heart showroom in Bents Green on Thursday 12 November, starting at 18:30. It's a relaxed one: you get a piece of pottery and paint your own design on it, with prosecco to keep you going while you work. The whole point is to just settle in and have a go at something creative without any pressure to be a pro.

Because you're painting your own design rather than following a set pattern, you can take it wherever you like. If you've got a specific idea in mind, you can work your way towards it; if you'd rather just see where the brush takes you, that works too. It's as much about the process as the finished piece, and since it's a paint and sip, the prosecco is part of the setup.

It's a good one to bring a friend along to, especially if you're not usually the type to pick up a brush. Having someone there to chat with makes the evening feel more like a social than a class, and you'll both come away with something you've actually made. If you're on your own, it's a low-stakes way to spend a Thursday night in the city.

Fired Arts are the ones behind it, and the showroom is in Bents Green, so it's easy enough to get to. Entry is free, and it kicks off at 18:30 on Thursday 12 November.
