ALBERTON, GAUTENG — Mondays are getting a colorful upgrade in Johannesburg South. Local creative hub Messy Masterpieces has teamed up with Del Forno Lemon Tree to host a relaxing, hands-on “Paint a Pot” Paint & Sip Workshop on Monday, 3 August at 18:00.
The evening offers locals a unique blend of casual dining, social gathering, and guided art expression. Designed to offer an antidote to the usual weekday blues, participants will transform a classic terracotta plant pot into a customized piece of home decor under the step-by-step instruction of artist-led facilitators.
