Craft and Chill – Plaster Casting Session
For our next workshop we will be hosting plaster casting, using liquid plaster to create a finished item for you to paint and take home to enjoy.
There will be a range of options to suit everyone including coasters, wall decor and ashtrays.
Details of performers and vendors TBC.
Come and join us for an in person craft workshop, cost includes finished item- gift wrap included, live music, free hot drinks (all other beverages including alcohol can be purchased at the bar), local small businesses vendors and as always, ultimate vibes. A new take on workshops, we provide all of the supplies, brief printed instructions and you bring the creativity to bring your ideas to life! We aim to promote creativity, learning new skills, meeting like minded people and a general chilled atmosphere for those looking to do something different or dabble in a new craft. We advise bringing cash along for stalls incase anything catches your eye. We aim to offer our workshops as low cost as possible and offer different workshops for each event, due to this some tools will be communal to everyone at the session rather than one per table

Where creativity takes flight in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
At Curious Owl, we believe everyone has a creative spark just waiting to shine.
Our Paint & Sip events are designed for all skill levels – whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or you’re already an avid painter.
No drawing skills? No problem! Each event provides you with everything you need to unleash your creativity. Choose to paint on a canvas, tote bag, or cushion cover – the choice is yours! You can start with a pre-drawn outline to make things simple or opt for a blank surface if you’d prefer to create your own design from scratch.
Our step-by-step guidance will lead you through the process of completing the featured painting, but there’s always room to make it your own. Adjust the colours, add your own creative details, or even go entirely off-script with a design of your own.
Enjoy a laid-back and social evening filled with laughter, creativity, and plenty of opportunities to connect with others in our community.
What’s included:
Welcome glass of Prosecco / Non – alcoholic drink
3 Tapas plates
Bar available for further drinks
Come for the painting, stay for the fun. Let your curiosity and creativity take flight with us.
