A CREATIVE event perfect for residents with a penchant for painting and sipping alcoholic beverages is coming to north Witham.

Express Yourself Paint Parties is running afternoon and evening Paint Parties at The Railway, in Chipping Hill, every month leading up to Christmas.

The get-togethers are a social group painting session in a relaxed and informal setting accompanied by a beverage of the artist's choice.

The events are geared towards having a fun and an enjoyable time with friends and family whilst recreating a set painting, led step by step by a resident artist.

Braintree and Witham Times:

The first Witham event is on Monday, October 4, and will be led by workshop leader Sarah Gunn, who is a talented artist from Clacton.

“We break the painting down into very simple step by step instructions which anyone can follow,” she added.

“People are amazed at what they can achieve. All the paintings turn out very individual in the style of each painter which is great to see.”

Express Yourself Paint Parties first hosted it popular events in Southend, Billericay and Maldon, but is now branching out to Witham and Colchester.

Business owner, Richard Simmons, of Colchester, said: “We are two months and 12 paint parties into our new venture and things are going really well.

“The feedback we have had has been overwhelmingly positive, with many of our painters rebooking and bring their friends too.”
