The Art of Being: An Evening by the Sea - Tallo Restaurant - 7th February 2026

£55.00

An intimate, sensory painting experience by the sea — perfect for reconnecting, unwinding & creating something meaningful.

Location:‍ ‍Tallo Restaurant - SeaSpace Aparthotel, Newquay

Time:arrive 6.30pm, start 7pm — ends around 9pm

This two-hour Art of Being session is designed as a slower, more sensory creative experience. You’ll be guided through a textured painting process using layered materials, mark-making and movement — no pressure to “get it right”, no expectation to be an artist.

Just space to switch off, soften, and create.

Hosted inside Tallo, this special evening includes a generous glass of wine (or non alcoholic cocktail) and the chance to reconnect — whether you come with a partner, a friend, or simply for yourself.

Think Valentine’s.
Think Galentine’s.
Think doing something different.

No art experience? No problem — this session is about presence, texture and connection, not perfection.

What to expect

  • A guided textured painting session led by Gemma

  • Exploration of materials, movement and intuitive mark-making

  • A relaxed, supportive atmosphere — suitable for all levels

  • A large glass of wine (or non alcoholic cocktail) provided by Tallo

  • Time to slow down, chat, create and reconnect

You’ll leave with your own original artwork — layered, tactile and personal.

Who it’s for

This session is perfect if you:

  • feel creatively curious but “not very arty”

  • want a meaningful evening rather than another dinner out

  • love the idea of creating something with your hands

  • are craving a moment of calm, connection and play

No experience needed. Everything is provided.
