Moon Moth Sip & Paint Party At The Nelson, Ipswich

🌙 Moon MothA little moonlight, a little magic, and a lovely way to begin the New Year...

Inspired by the mystery of the night sky, our Moon Moth is all about transformation, intuition and finding your own light.

With its beautifully patterned wings, glowing golden moon, rich midnight colours and delicate botanical details, this painting has a wonderfully atmospheric feel. A little mystical, a little wild, and full of gorgeous texture.

And there's something rather lovely about painting a moth at the beginning of a new year. A symbol of change, new beginnings and trusting where you're heading, even when you can't quite see the whole path ahead.

But don't worry, we're not getting too deep! We're here to enjoy ourselves, get creative and see what happens when we pick up a paintbrush.

This isn't about perfection or pressure. It's about expressive brushstrokes, playing with colour and that brilliant moment when you look at your painting and think, "Wait... I actually made that?"

A couple of hours where you can switch off from everything else, have a laugh and make something rather wonderful.

🎨 What to expect

You'll be guided step-by-step (in a relaxed, no-pressure way) to create your own Moon Moth painting — even if you haven't picked up a brush since school.

✨ No experience needed

✨ All materials provided

✨ A warm, welcoming atmosphere (come solo or with friends)

✨ Plenty of encouragement to add your own creative touches

✨ Your own finished painting to take home

🍷 Paint. Sip. Exhale.

Grab a drink, settle in and enjoy a couple of hours doing something completely different.

Not a formal art class. Not a performance. Just a bloody lovely evening getting creative in good company.

You'll leave with:

✨ A painting you'll actually be proud of

✨ A lighter headspace and a little creative confidence

✨ That wonderful "I needed that" feeling

💫 This is for you if...

🌙 You think you're "not creative" (perfect — you're exactly who I love encouraging!)

🌙 Life has been a bit full-on and you fancy doing something just for yourself.

🌙 You love rich colours, beautiful details and a little symbolism.

🌙 You'd like to start 2027 with something creative, sociable and a bit different from the usual routine.

After all the busyness of Christmas, I can't think of a nicer way to ease into January than with a paintbrush in hand, a lovely group of people and a little moonlit magic.

I'd absolutely love you to join me for this one. It's a beauty! 🌙
