Take Your Masterpiece Home

Your painting is dry and ready to go. Take photos, show your friends, hang it on the wall. You made that.

End of the night

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early. Classes start on time so everyone gets the full painting experience!

You've got questions.
Jennifer's got answers.

Before You Arrive

No experience needed. Zero. Zip. Jennifer starts from square one and walks everyone through each step. You just follow along at your own pace — she's done this enough times to know how to help all skill levels at the same time.
Your ticket covers your canvas, all paints, brushes, an easel, and a skilled instructor walking you through every step. We provide everything you need to create your painting. Drinks and food are purchased separately at the venue — so budget a little extra for a glass of wine (or two).
That depends on the venue! Some locations allow outside beverages, others require you to purchase from their bar. Check the specific event listing for details — each event notes the venue's policy. When in doubt, just plan to enjoy what's on the menu there.
Most classes run about 2 hours from first brushstroke to last. Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled, grab your drink, and find your canvas. The whole evening is usually wrapped up in about 2.5 hours door-to-door.
Something you don't mind getting a little paint on. We provide aprons, but acrylic paint doesn't always cooperate with life. Comfortable and casual is the way to go. That said, some people wear cocktail attire to certain events and emerge completely unscathed — it's a risk assessment only you can make.

During Class

Nobody gets left behind. Jennifer teaches to the whole group at a comfortable pace and keeps a close eye on everyone's progress. If you need extra help or want to ask a question, just raise your hand — she'll come right to you. There's no judgment here, only encouragement.
Absolutely! Solo attendees are some of our favorite guests. There's something wonderfully liberating about coming alone, talking to strangers, and leaving with a painting and a couple of new friends. You'll fit right in — this crowd is always welcoming.

Tickets & Policies

Public events are designed for adults (21+ at venues that serve alcohol). Private events can be arranged for youth groups (ages 12 and up) at appropriate, family-friendly venues. If you're planning a youth event, just mention that in your private event inquiry and Jennifer will steer you toward the right space.
Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable — if you can't make it, just send someone else in your place! If the event is cancelled by us for any reason, you'll receive a full refund automatically. We know life happens, and we want to make it as easy as possible to get to a class eventually.

About the Paintings

For private events, absolutely — you pick the painting! Flip through the gallery and choose your favorite, or bring a custom idea and Jennifer will work with you. For public events, the painting is chosen in advance. Browse the gallery to see what's coming up on the schedule.

General

It's never expected, always appreciated! If you had a great time and Jennifer kept the good vibes going all night, she definitely never says no to a thank-you. But genuinely — coming back to another class (or bringing a friend) means just as much.
Not currently, but stay tuned! Jennifer loves the in-person energy — there's nothing like painting side by side with a room full of people. But if virtual classes ever make it onto the calendar, newsletter subscribers will be the first to hear about it. Sign up here.
Head to the Private Events page and fill out the inquiry form — it takes about two minutes. Jennifer will reach out within 48 hours to discuss your event details, painting options, and venue. Minimum group size is 8 guests.

Jennifer's got you.

No question is too small. If something's still on your mind, just shoot Jennifer a message and she'll get back to you promptly.
