Ugly Mug Night – Draw Bad, Feel Good

Picasso had his blue period. Churchill painted to relax. Some of us… well, our art careers ended in primary school when someone told us our stick figures were “creative”.

Ugly Mug Night is your redemption arc.
Join us at Papelon Melbourne on Tuesday, 18 November, for an evening where artistic talent is optional but good vibes are guaranteed.

In two joyful hours, you’ll:
🎨 Turn your “bad” drawings into gloriously unique mugs
🌮 Enjoy tacos and papelón in the cosy warmth of a Latin restaurant
🎁 Create the perfect imperfect Christmas gift (even if it’s for yourself)

No rules, no judgment — just laughter, food, and a little artistic chaos.
Come alone or bring your amigos — everyone leaves with an ugly masterpiece and a good story.
Oh...one thing more!
Because creativity deserves a good soundtrack, each guest is invited to add one song to our shared Spotify playlist, so together we’ll build the perfect soundtrack for the night.

Expect everything from salsa to pop, depending on who shows up!

Info: Arrive early, grab your papelón, and settle in. Meet your fellow “bad artists” and get ready for a fun, creative night.

Info: A quick welcome from host Luján De Felice, who’ll share what inspired the Ugly Mug Night concept and how the Cricut machine will bring your designs to life.

Info: Time to let go of perfection! Spend about 35 minutes drawing your design idea on paper — anything goes.

Info: Refuel with your delicious taco while Luján starts transforming your drawings into digital versions.

Info: Watch your creation come to life as it’s transferred onto your mug using a Cricut machine. Feel free to cheer, take photos, and share your “ugly mug” moment!

Info: Stay a little longer for drinks or dessert if you wish — Papelon’s kitchen will stay open.
