This will be also a unique opportunity to meet the most creative and inspirational women of Tanzania. This will include the artists of Tinga Tinga Art Market; the highly skilled disabled sculptors of Wonder Workshop renowned for their spectacular models made from recycled materials; and local fashion designer Kemi Kalikawe. There will be an opportunity to purchase unique pieces of African art to take back home.
Join us for a fun and enjoyable time of self-expression as you unleash your inner artist while sipping on delightful beverages and enjoying snacks. Paint and sip events have been one of the highlights of my professional artistic career. It's rewarding when our guests paint beautiful pictures they are proud of. No matter your skill level, you will feel welcomed and encouraged as we paint together. I guarantee you'll discover something new about your artistic abilities and leave with a new love of painting. Plus, I'll teach you about Tanzanian art history. You'll find we are friendly, approachable, and fun hosts, and you'll be very well taken care of! If you want to turn your paint and sip into a full-blown party with dinner, dancing, and a bartender, we can do that too! Just ask!
This tour is unique as you will get to learn about the tinga tinga paintings and how they got to be, they are original from Tanzania, and only found around East Africa. Furthermore you will get to learn how to paint them from the painters themseleves.The painters lovingly make their work, and it can be challenging to make ends meet in such a labour-intensive and competitive field. These tinga tinga paintings are one of a kind. Paintings are handmade. Like handmade clothes or furniture, paintings show the hand of their maker so you can add a touch of personality to the home. Mass produced items cannot compete with that.
