Pop Art Paint and Wine Night - Monstera Pot POP
Paint Pop Art with Paintvine, and create a vivid painting that evokes a printmaking aesthetic.
In this lively night out, entice your inner artist by experimenting with paint in the style of Pop Art. Made popular in the 50s & 60s by artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Pop Art brings popular culture into the realm of art. This painted graphic style adds bold glamour to everyday consumer icons and objects, and really makes them pop!
So smooth out those brushes, buy a glass of your favourite tipple, and paint the night away!
Drinks: No drinks are included in the ticket price, but drinks are available to purchase.
Food: Want to enjoy some delicious food? Food will be available to purchase throughout the event.
