“Whimsical Frida” Paint & Sip – Saturday 16 May

We are delighted to welcome back talented local artist Lilli-Mae Bell for a vibrant and imaginative Paint & Sip workshop on Saturday, 16 May, from 1pm to 3pm.
This year’s theme is Whimsical Frida – a colourful, light-hearted twist inspired by Frida Kahlo’s iconic style. In this guided session, you’ll learn step by step how to create your own bold, joyful portrait complete with floating blooms, playful motifs, and all the creative flair you can muster. No experience needed – just a love of colour, good company, and a glass of wine in hand.
Gather your friends for a relaxed afternoon of art, laughter, and Zema Estate hospitality.
Your ticket includes all art supplies, a glass of wine on arrival, and your take-home artwork.
Spots are limited – book now to secure your place! Closer to the event, we’ll be in touch to confirm dietary requirements and seating preferences.
Date: Saturday 16 May, 1pm-3pm
Location: Zema Estate, Coonawarra
Cost: $79pp (includes take-home framed canvas, light snack & glass of wine)
