Painting with a Twist FAQ
What is Painting with a Twist?
Painting with a Twist is a fun art studio for anyone interested in painting, crafting and DIY! We NOW offer SLIME and regular Pop in and DIY Monday - Friday 11am - 5pm to give you the option to choose your painting and go at your own pace! We use acrylic paint for all our projects and ADD ON material such as glitter, gems, fairy lights and more to give your project a unique and special touch! Instructor led classes are taught by our very talented artists who will walk you step by step to create the painting of the day and time. Most of our guests have no painting or art experience and all of them have great success!
What is an Open Party?
Open Parties are offered any day of the week at any time. If you would like to select your own painting and date/time, this is the option for you! All you need is 6 guests. Payment for 6 reservations is due upon scheduling. Open Party reservations cannot be cancelled to receive store credit as there is a 6 reservation minimum requirement for us to put the class on the calendar for you. All sales are final. You will have your own VIP section set up in your class that will include a stainless steel beverage/snack table all to yourselves. Once the class is booked and a painting selected, we will open it to the public to join.
Do I need to pay before the class, or can I pay when I arrive?
Yes! Prepaid reservations are necessary - only paid reservations are guaranteed seats in our class. You may pay online, by phone or in-studio ahead of time.
Do you offer group rates or discounts?
Our prices are already based on group rates, so everyone gets to enjoy our great prices whether coming in a group or by yourself! We have a Paint Points rewards program to reward our loyal guests. We also offer a Military Discount of $5 per Military ID holder. In order to receive the discount, you must come to the studio to reserve your seat prior to the scheduled class. We WILL NOT refund your credit card by $5 if you purchase the seat online.
Can someone that is not painting join me?
No. Only those with paid reservations are permitted to attend our classes.
Can we come alone or do we need to have a group?
All are welcome in our studio. We have tons of customers that show up by themselves. Who knows... you may just make some new friends at your paint party.
Can I paint whatever I want?
Instructor led classes will be step by step instructions for the scheduled painting only. If you want to do your own thing, go for it, but there will not be step by step guidance on how to complete it. Our daily Pop in and DIY Monday - Friday 11am - 5pm is a great time for you to come in and choose the craft or painting you want to create. We offer step by step written and video instructions to follow and inspiration images from our gallery to help you along!
How do I join a class?
Simply visit our calendar, click on the title of the painting class you want to join and follow the simple reservation and payment process.
How do I sign up a group to attend an open to the public class?
Option 1: Select the number of seats you want to reserve for the specific class online and pay online.
Option 2: Ask everyone in your group to reserve individually online and to specify group name or point person in the "Special Requests" box.
My friends are signing up separately, how can I be sure we will be seated together for class?
Just add their names or a group name in the "special requests" section of the payment process and we will have you seated together.
How do I set up a Fundraiser at Painting with a Twist?
We love partnering with Non Profits! Send us an email requesting an event along with your 501-c3 letter. We will have you fill out our Fundraiser Request packet in order to be considered. Once you have filled out and emailed us the completed request form, we will put you on the waiting list and contact you if and when you are selected. Though we would love to be able to help everyone, we receive far more fundraiser requests than we have dates available. We will do our best to get you in.
What are the prices of the classes?
Our 2-hour canvas classes cost $37-$49 (depending on surface) per person, 3-hour classes are $45-$59 per person, kid's 1.5 hour classes are $29-$35, and Custom Art classes are $55-$65 per painter. (All art supplies included)
Can we bring anything other than wine?
Any drink is welcome! We don't judge. Please drink responsibly! You are also welcome to bring any snacks to enjoy while you paint!
