What should I bring?
Anything you would like to eat or drink during class as well as serving utensils and ice if you have anything that needs chilling. We do provide corkscrews, cups and napkins as well as buckets for ice.
Do I have to paint the featured painting?
If you would like to take your painting in a new direction—go for it! We encourage creativity! However, our Artist will be providing step by step instructions to the class for the featured painting.
Do I need a reservation?
We do require reservations, with payment, to guarantee your seat. You can register online, by phone, or in person! Walk-ins are accommodated on a “first come, first serve” basis. Many of our classes sell out so we encourage you to book ahead!
I’m meeting friends, may we sit together?
Absolutely!
Option 1: Select the number of seats you want to reserve for the specific class online and pay online.
Or
Option 2: Ask everyone in your group to reserve individually online and to specify group name or point person in the "Who Do You Want to Sit With" box.
If you pay online as a group in a single reservation, you will automatically be seated together.
Can my friend come and watch us without painting?
Our studio seating is only for paid participants (no sharing of one canvas with multiple painters). We can’t allow additional spectators who do not have a paid seat in the class to sit in the studio next to you.
Can my child come with me to paint?
Our night classes (those beginning at 4 p.m. or later) are intended for adult painters (ages 15 and up), but we do offer plenty of morning and afternoon classes beginning before 4 pm that are just right for younger painters ages 7 and up. For all classes, we cannot allow our participants to bring infants, toddlers or children. If this happens at the time of a class, we will be happy to issue you a store credit to come at another, more convenient time.
Can I help my child paint their canvas during Kid’s or Afternoon classes?
All of our classes are intended to be one painter to a canvas. If your child requires assistance, one of our awesome Artists will be happy to help! We ask that you allow the young artists to discover their own creativity and not help them “correct" their painting. Applaud their effort and encourage their journey!
What is your cancellation policy?
We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If your cancellation is received 24 hours or more prior to the start of class, a refund will be issued. If your cancellation is received less than 24 hours prior to the start of class, a store credit will be issued. If there is no cancellation received, no store credit or refund will be issued.
Should I tip the Artist/Assistant?
Tips are greatly appreciated, but never required. The Artists greatly appreciate it and it helps them to know that they are doing a fantastic job!
