Laura Silva
Originally from Brazil and now studying nursing in NZ, Laura brings warmth, good energy, and a love for people into everything she does. At Paintvine, she’s all about making art feel fun, friendly, and totally pressure-free. Whether you’re a total beginner or a secret Picasso, her Paintvine sessions are all about good vibes, good chats, and letting loose with a brush (and maybe a wine too!).
At this irresistibly fun sculpting event, our expert artists will guide you step-by-step to create a quirky clay object! With your new-found hand-building pottery knowledge, you can then decorate your sculpture to your heart's content!
Our clay is air-dry (so no need to cook it when you get home!) and you will be provided with all the tools you need. No previous experience is necessary! Everyone is welcome and will have fun at this tactile clay event.
First drink is included in the ticket price.
