People enjoying a creative painting session

Host an Event

Imagine your venue filled with laughter, colour, and creativity. Jo in the Making events bring people together through hands-on art.

For the little ones, the message is simple: put down the phone, pick up a paintbrush, and play like kids used to.

Let's Talk

Two Ways to Create

Sip & Paint

Sip & Paint

A relaxed evening of painting, drinks, and good company. Perfect for date nights, girls' nights, or just a creative midweek treat.

  • All materials provided
  • 2-hour guided session
  • Suitable for complete beginners
  • BYOB or partner with your bar
Kids Club

Kids Club

Messy, creative, screen-free fun for children. Painting, making, building. The kind of play that matters.

  • Age-appropriate activities (4-12)
  • 1-hour structured sessions
  • All materials and aprons included
  • Themed sessions available

Play Like We Used To

Remember building dens, making things with your hands, playing outside until the streetlights came on? That's the feeling we're bringing back, for kids and their grown-ups alike.

Our events create space for people to slow down, get messy, laugh together, and make something they're proud of. No screens, no pressure. Just pure creative joy.
