Brews & Brushes: Creative Flow & Mixed-Media Making @ Mad Dog Brewery

Join us after your beach day for a relaxed, sea-inspired afternoon of mindful painting, collage, and creative flow. No experience needed!
About this Event

After you’ve spent the day walking along the pebbles and listening to the waves, dust off the sand and wander up to the vibrant Mad Dog Brewery! This session is all about catching that calm, post-beach feeling and channelling it straight into creativity. Inspired by the bright, joyful colours of Brighton, we’ll dive into a relaxed afternoon of media painting in a wonderfully supportive, welcoming environment.

What to Expect

Settle into a cosy, friendly atmosphere with a selection of fantastic craft brews, tasty alcohol-free sodas, and snacks. During this session, you will:

• Experiment & Play: Get messy and play with the art materials.
• Bring Your Vision to Life: Receive gentle guidance to help you capture the energy and colours of the coast.
• A Space for Everyone: Whether you're a complete beginner, a seasoned creative, or a little artist, this workshop is entirely about the joy of the process, not perfection.

Supporting our Venue 🍻

To help us support the wonderful team at Mad Dog Brewery, we kindly ask all participants to purchase a drink (alcoholic or soft) upon arrival. They have a fantastic selection of freshly brewed beers and refreshing sodas!
