A Visit to: Sip & Paint at The Finches Arms, Hambleton, with Gretel Marlena
Looking for something a little different to do in Rutland? Whether it’s a girls’ night out, a date night or simply a bit of time to yourself, a sip and paint evening is such a lovely way to spend an evening.
I recently headed to The Finches Arms in Hambleton for a Halloween-themed workshop with the incredibly talented artist and designer, Gretel Marlena. We spent the evening painting ceramic pumpkins, sipping fizz and getting creative.
I actually went along on my own, and it was so lovely to do something just for me!
The idea was to paint a ceramic pumpkin, and I decided to go for a spider theme for Stanley’s bedroom. It sounded like a great idea until I picked up the paintbrush! It was definitely trickier than I expected, but that’s all part of the fun.
It was lovely to switch off for a few hours, enjoy a glass of fizz and focus on something completely different. You certainly don’t need to be an artist to take part, and I think that’s what makes these workshops so enjoyable.
I’d happily recommend it whether you’re planning an evening with friends or fancy going along on your own, as I did.
The Next ‘Sip and Paint’ workshop… Christmas Baubles!
If you fancy giving it a go, the next sip and paint evening at The Finches Arms is getting festive!
Gretel will be hosting a Christmas-themed workshop where you can paint your own baubles, enjoy a glass of champagne and get into the Christmas spirit.
