Mindful Paint and Sip: Royal William Yard Artober
About this Event
This isn't your average paint night. This one's extra special - we're part of Artober, a month of art at Royal William Yard with exhibitions, workshops, and an Affordable Art Market.
Alongside the painting and a glass (or cup) of something, there'll be a check-in and a moment of mindfulness - the extra elements that give Mindful Art Club its warm, supportive atmosphere. Think less artistry, more permission to slow down and enjoy the process.
What We're Painting
For our next session we'll be painting the historic Firestone Arch at Royal William Yard; a stone portal with a stunning sea view, (pictured below). The session takes place indoors, we will be working from photographs.

About Mindful Art Club
Since 2019, hundreds of people have nervously arrived at Mindful Art Club and left feeling calmer, more connected and happier. We've built something we're proud of - the friendships, the sense of belonging, and the relaxing feeling of making art together. This is the evening version of that experience.

Guided Mindfulness - 10 minutes

Paint and Sip
Info: You'll be guided step-by-step to create your own work of art on canvas, while enjoying a drink. No talent? No experience? No problem! Mindful art is about enjoying the moment. This relaxed workshop is about making human connections, and having fun. You may be surprised to discover your inner artist - or perhaps your inner child! We provide a supportive environment where you can just be yourself.
