What to expect

This isn't an art class in the school-hall sense

No experience, no judgment. Whether you've never held a brush or you paint every week, sessions are paced so everyone leaves happy with what they've made.

Materials included for Sip & Paint. Just bring yourself — paper, paint, and brushes are ready and waiting. For classes, bring your own kit (a full supply list is sent when you book).

Small, friendly groups. Sessions run in person around Glasgow and Lanarkshire (North and South), with plenty of one-to-one guidance along the way.
