Sip & Paint for Her Brings Creativity and Connection Together

The Sip & Paint for Her event, organised by the Muslim Ladies Study Circle (MLSC), brought together a vibrant group of women for an evening of creativity, relaxation and community bonding. Held in a warm and welcoming setting, the gathering provided participants with the opportunity to unwind, explore their artistic side and enjoy meaningful conversations with fellow attendees.

The event created a supportive space for women to express themselves through art while also celebrating unity and empowerment. Attendees were guided through a calming painting session, all while enjoying a friendly atmosphere filled with encouragement and shared moments.

Organised by MLSC under its initiative We Empower Her, the programme highlighted the organisation’s ongoing commitment to uplifting, inspiring and creating opportunities for women in the community. The colourful backdrop, joyful expressions and enthusiastic participation reflected the success of the evening and the spirit of togetherness the event aimed to foster.
