We’ll put the kettle on and have biscuits at the ready (British Biscuits, lol) — this is a relaxed, drop-in afternoon of painting, tea, and feline foolishness.

Cats, Cuppas & a Proper Paint About

Easy cat paintings, tea in china cups, biscuits, and mild mischief. A relaxed British paint & tea do

We’ll put the kettle on and have biscuits at the ready — this is a relaxed, drop-in afternoon of painting, tea, and feline foolishness.

At The Very Proper Purr-Tea, you’ll paint two delightfully small canvases at your own pace while sipping a proper selection of English teas served in real china teacups. Biscuits will, naturally, make an appearance — we are British, after all, not heathens.

Paint a Cat, Then Go See Some Real Ones

Never painted before? No problem at all. Cat stencils will be available for anyone who prefers tracing to freestyling. This is not a class — there’s no purr-sure!

Before or after painting, explore Feline Fantastica throughout the Northrup King Building — a glorious, building-wide cat art crawl complete with a Pawsport, prizes, incredible art, and kittens available for adoption. With all this goodness, we cannot promise self-control.

What’s Included

  • Two small canvases to paint at your own pace
  • Beginner-friendly cat painting prompts (stencils available)
  • A proper selection of English teas, served in real china teacups
  • British biscuits (because of course)
  • Access to Feline Fantastica, a building-wide cat art crawl
  • Pawsport, prizes, and adoptable kittens throughout the building
  • A relaxed, judgement-free atmosphere with plenty of feline foolishness

This is your invitation to slow down, paint some cats, and follow your curiosity about the building.

a very british whodunit paint and sip!

This is a very British paint-and-sip murder mystery — yes, you read that right. As cocktails are poured into teapots, clues drip through the night and even your painting holds a vital hint. You’ll paint, sip, and solve your way through the case — think Sherlock Holmes meets Bridget Jones after bottomless brunch.
