The Sip Studio is the brainchild of Brooke Hughes, a former city resident who has found success in mixing business with art.
Opening on Friday, the venue offers a fun alternative to a night out on the town, allowing patrons to hone their painting skills while sharing a glass of wine with friends.
“It’s a great time to open, Toowoomba is growing, there are more people here, it’s more diverse and you have these cool new bars opening up,” Ms Hughes said.
“I’m confident people will love the concept, from busy mums who want to catch up with friends, to uni students or work colleagues looking for a team building experience.
“You don’t have to be an artist, you just come and have a drink with friends – we just want people to have a good time.”
The two hour art sessions will be led by an instructor, who will help guests paint the preselected project.
The venue is BYO and there is a dedicated area for a grazing platter, with guests encouraged to bring their own food.
Ms Hughes, who also runs a popular studio by the same name in Wollongong, said there had been a lot of early interest art sessions.
The Sip Studio Toowoomba opens this Friday at 15 Russell St. For bookings visit www. thesipstudio.com.au.
