Sip & Sculpt: SHAG Week Special 🍒

Looking for a chill way to get creative during SHAG Week? Come along to Sip & Sculpt — a laid-back, hands-on session where you can sip on tasty mocktails, get stuck into some clay, and hang out in a relaxed, sex-positive space. No pressure, no awkward vibes — just creativity, conversation, and good energy.

You’ll have the chance to make your own air-dry clay creations — whether you want to follow some cheeky SHAG Week–inspired prompts or just sculpt whatever you feel like. This is all about self-expression, body confidence, and having fun in a welcoming, respectful environment.

What’s going down:

  • 🍹 Free mocktails while you sculpt

  • 🎨 Air-dry clay (no experience needed)

  • 💬 Chill, optional SHAG Week prompts and convo starters

  • 📚 Info and resources dotted around if you want to learn more

  • 🧡 Inclusive, relaxed vibes — come solo or with friends

Good to know:
Your pieces will need time to dry, so painting won’t happen in this session — but keep an eye out for a follow-up paint night 👀

Drop in, get creative, and celebrate SHAG Week in a fun, low-pressure way ✨

Venue Capacity: 30

Entry is on a first come first served basis
