The Funky Easel Sip & Paint Night is presenting Toadstool & Snail at John Lewis (Ipswich)

🍄 The Funky Easel Sip & Paint Morning — Woodland WonderWrap up warm and join us for a wonderfully cosy morning of painting as we create one of this season's most enchanting designs – Winter Wonderland.

The Funky Easel is a relaxed Sip & Paint experience designed to help you switch off, have fun, and discover just how creative you really are – even if you've never painted before.

This charming winter scene features a vibrant red toadstool nestled amongst snowy woodland, with an adorable little snail making its way through the frosty landscape. Inspired by Scandinavian forests and the quiet magic of winter, it's a painting full of warmth, wonder and woodland charm.

Whether you're looking for a creative morning with friends, some well-deserved time for yourself, or simply fancy trying something new, this is the perfect way to spend a Saturday.

🍄 About Woodland Wonder

Toadstools have long been part of woodland folklore, evoking hidden forests, cosy autumn walks and the quiet magic of nature. Paired with a tiny woodland snail and soft snowy surroundings, this painting captures the peaceful transition into the colder months.

We'll explore simple brush techniques, gentle textures and beautiful winter colours to create a painting that's full of character while keeping everything easy to follow.

The focus isn't on perfection—it's about enjoying the process, relaxing into your creativity, and leaving with something you'll be genuinely proud to display.

☕ A cosy Saturday morning

Bring a friend, come with family, or enjoy a little creative time just for yourself.

There's something wonderfully satisfying about spending a couple of hours painting while the world outside starts to feel a little more autumnal.
