What a day! Last week the Kallik team took to Digbeth for our annual summer team event day and got baking and painting some absolute masterpieces! 🎉 🍰 👩‍🍳 First up, we channeled our inner Mary Berry and spent the morning baking at The Big Birmingham Bake - and not one disaster or soggy bottom in sight! Although we did have a few accidents with the flour... 🎨 👩‍🎨 Then we put on our creative hats (quite literally) and spent the afternoon painting with the help of ART SIPPERS and their artistic talent. Turns out we've got quite a few talented painters on the team too! Check out the video below to see us in action. Finally, a big thank you to those who made the day so fantastic, especially Fiona and Sarah for their hard work organising the day. 🤗 💜 hashtag#Teamwork hashtag#TeamDay hashtag#TeamBuilding hashtag#WorkCulture hashtag#FunAtWork hashtag#Veraciti See original post here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7228679120719622145/

The artist transforms pain into beauty and mistakes into masterpieces.... 🖌 "When someone makes a mistake, forgive them. When someone wrongs you, move on. When someone slights you, let it go. When someone tells you they didn’t mean it, believe them. When someone tries to pull you down, let them go. Moving forward helps a lot and doesn’t cost a thing." - Shane Parrish 💟

This experience was jokes! We started a nice walk from Padstow to Wadebridge along the Camel Trail - but after passing a bike hire shop... A random tandem caught our eye. 🚲😍 We thought f*ck it, why not? 🤣 So our new challenge was to get to Bodmin! 📍 But as usual, we got incredibly lost (on what is a simple straight and clearly sign posted path) and ended up on an unintentional sightseeing tour around the whole of Wadebride. 😅 We finally found our way back to the Camel Trail and made it 10 miles in, just 2 miles short of Bodmin. But, as we were already cutting it fine getting our bikes back in time... Of course we opted for a cheeky sip-stop instead of the finish line. 😝 #Priorities. Yes, we failed this little bike challenge... but fingers crossed next time we will complete it in time! Anyways, Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best... “It's not the destination, it's the journey" 🙌💟

When we started ART SIPPERS back in 2019, we had no idea of the rollercoaster we were jumping on. 🎢 All we knew was that 90% of small businesses fail within the first 5 years. 😮 So we braced ourselves for a wild ride, and what a ride it's been! Today, we are a little bit gassed to reach this milestone 🙌 We've not only survived these daunting first 5 years... We have come out mentality and spirituality stronger than ever! 💪 In the early days, many people didn't really understand the concept of a "paint & sip" event. 🖌 💭 "Painting and drinking?" 💭 "Is it an art gallery?" 💭 "You paint... we drink?" We spent our time educating people about our unique experience... 🗣 "No, YOU will be doing the painting, and there's music, dad jokes, etc..." Not to mention the massive hurdle of trying to convince people that they are capable of drawing more than simple stick figure. 😅 Yes, there have been countless stressful moments and setbacks – events that didn't sell well, stock issues, and many, MANY stupid mistakes. But, we've learned to brush off the "happy little accidents" and approach challenges with compassion and creativity. Five years on, the 'Paint & Sip' industry is booming! 📈 ART SIPPERS has evolved, with a clearer focus on online challenges and art boxes, so we can spread our mission to get everyone creative far and wide! But the most significant change has been within us. This entrepreneural experience has been an incredible journey of personal growth. Our bank accounts haven't grown that much over this time...😅 But we've never felt such clarity about who we are and what we love. Every day is an adventure! And isn't that what life's about? We've learned that with curiosity and openminds (mixed with a bit of patience and persistence), ANYTHING is possible. As we celebrate this business birthday, we want to thank our SIPPERS FAM. 💟🫶 Your good vibes and love have been the fuel to our creative fire. 🔥 We can't wait to see what the next five years have in store for us... and for you! Cheers to many more years of growth, creativity, and sipping (of course! 😝) 👨🏿‍🎨👩🏼‍🎨🦩

📩 This morning we received a beautiful message… "It is only worthwhile to ask those on whose laps you feel comfortable enough to cry, the opinions of the rest will never compare." What wonderful words of wisdom! 💡 Tina reminded us of the importance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people whose perspectives we truly value… 💕 Urging us to get guidance from those who really take the time to understand us... our bestest BUDS! 🌸 😍 Tina also shared her unbe-LEAF-able poppy painting, which she created using one of our On-Demand Workshops. We BLOOMING love receiving masterpieces like this in our inbox! It’s still a funny feeling knowing people are catching up and painting with our older-selves 👨🏿‍🎨👩🏼‍🎨 But it always makes our day and inspires us to keep going! 💪 So keep those creative juices flowing, Sippers! 🥂 Whether it's with a paintbrush, a pen, or a good ol’ dance, don't be afraid to express yourselves! And remember… surround yourselves with people who really get you! We're all in this incredible journey of LIFE together, learning, creating, and leaning on each other along the way. 🖌🎨 #GoodVibeTribe

You don't have to be the next Van Gogh or dream of being in the Tate Gallery to take up painting, sculpting, or any other art form. Creativity isn't just for aspiring artists - it's a powerful tool that can make your life more meaningful. Getting in touch with your imaginative side comes with so many unexpected benefits that go far beyond the art itself. Here are just a few reasons why everyone should "practice any art"... 💡 Become a better problem solver: Making creative decisions and coming up with new ideas will sharpen your critical thinking skills. 😌 Master peace: Lose yourself in the calming flow state of creativity - acting like a soothing meditation that melts the stress away. ⬆️ Boost your confidence: Learning a new skill can give you a sense of pride and increased self-confidence. 📢 Find your authentic voice: Art provides an outlet for self-expression and self-awareness, helping you find out "what's inside you". So... why not give your creative muscles a flamingo flex - your body and mind will thank you later! 👨🏿‍🎨👩🏼‍🎨🦩

Have you ever found yourself staring down at a blank canvas, thinking "I can't even draw a stick figure, how am I supposed to paint the human body?" That's just the inner critic talking - always underestimating your talents before you've even picked up a paintbrush. At ART SIPPERS, we believe that with the right guidance and an open mind, ANYONE can create a masterpiece! The second you tell yourself "I can't" is the moment you rob yourself of an incredible experience... One that can completely reshape and build your confidence! The key is to silence that annoying, self deprecating voice and to be brave enough to try. With an extra dash of patience and practice, we all have the ability to create a curvy canvas - to bring a stick figure to life in all its human 3D glory! So let's step out our comfort zone today and turn "I can't" into "I can't believe I made this!" Take the ART SIPPERS Challenge and build your confidence. www.artsippers.com

Take on the ART SIPPERS Challenge and paint 'RAW ROTHKO' 🖌 This week, we have been inspired by the legendary Mark Rothko. Rothko was a true pioneer of abstract expressionism and is known for his use of colour in his captivating and memorising block canvases. 🖼 His vibrant paintings - often described as windows to the soul, take viewers on an emotional journey, where words are unnecessary, and feelings take centre stage. 💟 We will learn more about the way Rothko uses colour in tonight's online workshop. See you there! 🎟 artsippers.com 📅 26th April 2024 🕖 7-9pm 📍Online Zoom 🎨 Experience Box 👨🏿‍🎨👩🏼‍🎨🦩

Look, let's be real - creating ART is hard. It's messy, it's vulnerable... And God forbid if you get any criticism from friends or family it can feel like you've been punched the face. But, here's the thing - if you really want to make a difference, you’ve got to put your stuff out there! Why? “You can't get to courage without walking through vulnerability.” - Brené Brown Sharing your creativity is scary... But, it has the power to inspire, connect, and transform - not just the person looking, but you as the creator too. So, whether you're a painter, a poet, a musician, or any other kind of artist who is afraid to share your ART… “Feel the fear and do it anyway” - Susan Jeffers Complete The ART SIPPERS Challenge Simply share a pic of you and your masterpiece to feature on our socials + enter your details to be in with a chance of winning a Gold Membership worth £149! Rule 1: Take before photo. Snap a pic of your blank canvas. ​Rule 2: Take after photo. Snap a pic of your masterpiece. Rule 3: Share, if you dare! #ARTSIPPERSCHALLENGE P.s.
