Sip, paint, relax… the perfect Semester 2 reset!

Come sip, paint, and enjoy a refreshing start to the semester!

Kick off Refreshers Week with Brush and Brew, a cozy, creative evening where you can unwind, meet new people, and let your imagination take the lead.

Grab a comforting tea or hot chocolate, pick up a paintbrush, and enjoy a chilled-out night of creativity. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just fancy trying something new, this is a welcoming space to express yourself and have fun.

We’ll bring the paints, brushes, canvases, and good vibes. You just bring your friends, your creativity, and your Semester 2 energy.

Not sure what to paint? Go for a winter scene, your favourite comfort drink, or something totally abstract. It’s all about relaxing, reconnecting, and starting the new term with a splash of colour.

Our ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in the John Wood Social Space. You’ll be able to recognise them wearing a light blue t-shirt or hoodie with the ResLife logo on.

The event will be held in the John Wood Social Space which is on the ground floor of John Wood Building. The room has seating available. There are toilets on the same floor.

Our ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in the John Wood Social Space.

You’re welcome to arrive at any time during the event. There’s no formal start or end, so feel free to drop in when it suits you and stay for as long (or as little) as you like.

There will be some unstructured time while waiting for people to arrive which gives you the chance to introduce yourself, meet new people if you want to, and settle in. If you need some help with this, for example, if you arrive on your own, our ResLife Ambassadors will happily help introduce you or find a seat on a table.

There is no structured break during this event, but you are welcome to leave and re-join at any point. The session runs for around 2 hours, but you can leave at any point, and you’ll be able to take your creation home with you. All materials will be provided for you. All you need to bring is yourself.

Refreshments such as snacks and cold drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring your own food and drink.
