Paint & Sip Evening at Paraoa

Robin from Gulf Harbour

WOW — what a night! 🎨🍻

Another amazing, creative evening at Paraoa Brewing Co — a full house (plus a few extras!) and so much talent on display.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who came along and brought the good vibes and colour!

🖌️ Big love to Resene — hands down the best paint for coverage, drying time, and stunning colours. Check out the metallics!
♻️ Massive thanks to Plyman — your support means we can offer free spots to members of our community who are quietly and consistently doing great mahi behind the scenes.
🍺 Huge appreciation to Paraoa Brewing Co for welcoming our creative crew — and letting us bring the crazy gang! 😄

🌟 If you know someone (or a team!) who deserves a free place at our next Paint & Sip, please tag them below and let us know — we’d love to celebrate their awesome work with a creative night out.

We’ll be hosting another event soon — so if you’re ready to unleash your inner Dick Frizzell, Greg Straight, Hayley King (Flox) or Picasso, send us a message to go on the waitlist!

Ngā mihi nui,
Robin & The NEWCREATION crew

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?
