FAQs

Art studio attire?

We do provide guests with cool aprons, but SPLAT HAPPENS!!   Dressed in a head to toe white ensemble is not suggested!!!

Can I rent your studio?

Super fun for Bachelorette, Bridal/Baby Showers, Family Re-Unions, Rehearsal Dinners, Anniversary, Corporate Team Builders or Birthday Events!

Can someone attend a class without pre-registering?

We recommend pre-registering for classes through our website class calendar to guarantee your seat!! Walk-ins are welcome with a $2 walk in fee and is subject to availability.

Cancellations and refunds?

We do not offer refunds.  With 48 hour notice of cancellation you will receive a credit towards a future public class.  If you do not show up for the event, you will not receive a credit. Unfortunately, we have come to this policy as our previous policy of offering refunds was consistently abused: Reserving seats in a class, where the guest does not attend or short notice prevents us from re-selling the seat is not refundable.  SIDE NOTE – Offering a credit to our customers in the event of a cancellation is beyond what is offered at any other ticketing facility!  Concert Halls, Music Venues, Theaters or even Movie theaters do not offer this courtesy, you purchase a ticket, there are no refunds, exchanges or credits.

Do I need experience painting?

So, you’ve never painted before??? No WORRIES!! 90% of our guests never have or at least not since grade school!! Our paintings are well thought out and planned by professional artists and teachers to guide you step by step to create your very own beautiful painting to take home! You will not believe how relaxing, fun and easy it is!  We are always so proud of our guests who explore their hidden creative talents to their very own surprise! Okay, OK! The Wine DOES help…. a little:)  The painting is only a % of the total PAINT, SIP, EAT experience!!!
