Brush & Book Club - 15 August 2026

Service Description

Brush & Book Club is a monthly artist-led creative experience where storytelling meets art. Each session is inspired by a selected Book of the Month, and together we create a guided artwork that reflects its themes, atmosphere, and sense of wonder. Designed for all skill levels, the focus is on mindful creativity, connection, and enjoying the process in a relaxed and welcoming environment. This August, join us at the Tea Room at Banchan as we step through the garden gate into the timeless world of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Inspired by one of literature's most beloved classics, we'll spend the afternoon painting a peaceful scene filled with flowers, hidden pathways, and the quiet magic of nature awakening. Together we'll celebrate creativity, curiosity, and the simple joy of making something beautiful. Whether you're completely new to painting or already confident with a brush, Brush & Book Club is about slowing down, making time for creativity, and sharing a meaningful experience with fellow readers and art lovers. 📖 Book of the Month: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett 📅 Saturday 15 August ⏰ 14:00 – 16:30 📍 Banchan Tea Room, Parkmore, Johannesburg 💰 R465 Your Ticket Includes: • Artist-led guided creative workshop • All art materials provided • Beginner-friendly options available • Monthly featured colour highlight with a take-home shimmer dot card • Tea, coffee, or soft drink • Pastry • A small reader's gift • A relaxed and supportive creative atmosphere inspired by the Book of the Month No prior painting experience is needed.
