Five Monday nights to reconnect with your creativity — and actually show up for yourself
Starts January 2026 · Live on Zoom · With Becca Bourne
You don’t need another self-paced course you’ll forget about.
You don’t need to download another workbook or light another candle to try and make it feel official.
You need something that’s easy to show up to — and feels good when you do.
That’s what Creative Embrace is.
Five Monday nights.
Live on Zoom.
Just you, your art journal, a cup of something nice, and a group of women who are ready to create without needing it to be perfect.
💛 This is for you if:
You love the idea of being creative, but don’t know where to start
You keep saving “art journaling inspo” but never actually do anything with it
You want to be held accountable without being bossed around
You’re ready to make something just for you — no audience, no outcomes
You want something that feels safe, kind, and actually fun
✨ What it is:
Creative Embrace is a 5-week guided art journaling experience.
We meet live each Monday night on Zoom — for two hours of painting, writing, layering, and playing.
You don’t need to be good at art.
You don’t need to have fancy materials.
You just need a willingness to show up, try something new, and be a little bit kinder to yourself while doing it.
Each session follows the rhythm of the moon — not to be mystical, but to help you move through themes like letting go, grounding, expressing, and starting again.


One of the best presents is the gift of a shared experience — laughter, connection, and a splash of paint!

Wednesday 14th January 2026
7–9PM | The Botanist, Ipswich
Let’s keep this simple.
You need a night out that gives something back.
Not just another dinner.
Not just drinks and small talk.
Something that feels different — because it is.
That’s exactly what The Funky Easel paint nights are.
And on 14th January, we’re bringing it to The Botanist — with a bold, vibrant piece called Neon Muse.
You don’t need to be good at painting.
You don’t need to come with friends.
You just need to be up for a couple of hours that are genuinely enjoyable —
with a paintbrush in one hand and a cocktail (or mocktail) in the other.
What actually happens on the night?
I’ll walk you through the whole painting step by step — no stress, no “art speak,” no being left behind.
You’ll be sat in a buzzing space with other lovely humans,
all doing something fun, a little different, and surprisingly calming.
It’s not an art class.
It’s not a party.
It’s a bit of both — and people leave smiling, every time.
🎟️ Your ticket includes:
✔️ Full guided painting experience (materials included)
✔️ Your own finished canvas to take home
✔️ A table at The Botanist – perfect vibe, great drinks, fab atmosphere
✔️ The chance to do something memorable — whether you come solo or bring the gang
These events often fill up fast (especially when they’re at venues like this),
so if you’re even thinking about it — I’d love you to just say yes.
Save your seat
Come paint Neon Muse with us.
Let’s make your January a little more colourful.
Book your ticket now.

The doors are open all day, so plenty of time to order drinks and food if fancy a nibble before or after our session which starts is on
