Description
The Artist Table- AN ART EXPERIENCE, where creativity meets good company
Forget the rules, leave perfection at the door and come and play!
The Artist Table is a wonderfully sociable creative experience where art, conversation, food and drinks come together without expectation or rules!
Imagine a beautifully dressed table scattered with flowers, fruit, interesting objects and gorgeous shadows – with nibbles, drinks, music and an abundance of art materials waiting to be explored.
Rather than working on your own canvas, we’ll cover the entire table with a long roll of paper and create one big, ever-evolving collaborative artwork. With as much guidance as you please, you’ll sketch, doodle, layer, paint, experimenting with everything from oil pastels and marker pens to paints and other exciting mediums.
Move around the table, follow an idea, add something unexpected or simply let your imagination take over. There are no set pictures to copy, no rules to follow and absolutely no artistic experience needed. It’s about enjoying the moment, trying something different and seeing where creativity takes you.
And here’s the lovely part… Â Towards the end of the experience, everyone will be given a frame.You’ll choose your favourite section of our enormous collaborative artwork, we’ll carefully cut it out, and you’ll have your very own original piece of art to take home. Something completely unique, created as part of something bigger.
Come with a friend, bring your partner or make an afternoon or evening of it with someone new. It’s about connecting, laughing, creating and enjoying a little time for yourself. You don’t need to be an artist but in this fast paced world we all need to relax creatively especially within a beautiful community.
Three dates, three different occasions:
~19 February 6-10pm – The Artist Table: A Creative Date
Art the language of Love: are they your Valentine, come and find out…
A date with a difference! Swap the usual dinner date for an evening of creativity, wine, nibbles and maybe even a little playful competition. Studies show a definite “painting effect” for couples, releasing significant amounts of oxytocin when creating art together! Whether its your first date or a wedding anniversary, this unique experience will result in more than just beautiful artwork.
~19 June 2-6pm – The Artist Table: A Summer’s Afternoon
An afternoon celebration of female connection and friendships:
A summer’s drink in one hand and crayon or brush in the other, we will feel the fun of creating with freedom, whilst soaking up the sunshine conversation and unity the event brings.
Think flowers, summer fruits, gorgeous shadows, resulting in a table full of colour that we will take our abstract art from, to remember the day at home. A memorable summer indulgence with a creative twist in the Creative Calm Studios garden, Sittingbourne Kent.
~10 September – The Artist Table: Schools Back!
This one’s for parents and teachers who deserve a little time to themselves.
The first week back is done! Time to put the school bags, lesson plans and to-do lists aside. Relax, unwind, enjoy good company and rediscover the joy of doing something just for you. No expectations no rules just the pleasure of creating art, new friendships, drinking and laughing together socially.
