Our summer book club painting events will feature scenes from your favorite summer reads! From seascapes to fabulous diva paintings. We've put together the parfect summer excape for you and your friends.

Do I need to prepare anything in advance?
Nope! Many of our guests are reading the featured book prior to coming to our painting event, but it's NOT required! You can participate in discussions or just sit back, relax and sip some wine while you paint with friends in our BYOB Studio! Either way works for us!
