To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Tove Jansson’s iconic Moomins and to enjoy the screening of biopic TOVE, please join us for another exclusive Sip & Paint class in the Edison Cafe where artist Charisse Renee will teach you how to draw the iconic characters, accompanied by some of our wonderful wine of course!
About the film: Helsinki, 1945. The end of the war brings a new sense of artistic and social freedom for painter Tove Jansson. While focusing her artistic dreams on painting, the enchanting tales of the 'Moomin' creatures she told to scared children in bomb shelters, rapidly take on a life of their own, bringing international fame and financial freedom. Her desire for liberty is put to the test, when she meets theatre director Vivica Bandler who ignites an electric and all consuming love in her. But while she begins to find her artistic identity she discovers the true love she yearns has to be reciprocated, and only by forging her own path can she learn to be free.
We will provide all the necessary materials to create something truly memorable which you can also take home with you! It’s the perfect warm-up to the film which we will screen straight afterwards. No experience necessary! Note that the class will be conducted in English.
Stay after the class for a screening of the movie TOVE.
