No way! We have seen all levels of experience come in and leave with their very own masterpiece! Don’t be intimidated, the artist is there to guide you step-by-step!
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Add a splash to your painting! Beer and wine only. Don’t forget your cups, but if you do, we will have some available.

You most certainly can! Finger foods work best and there is a special section to store all of your goodies. Note: We cannot refrigerate anything for you.

There is plenty of metered off-street parking. We are conveniently located just a few blocks away from the Elm Street Garage and the Zeiterion Theater Garage. Metered parking is free in the evening and on weekends.

We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes before a public class. If you are having a private party, please arrive 30 minutes before the party to allow you to set up and get settled!

Classes last approximately 2 hours. Are you in a rush?
Is the studio wheelchair accessible?
Yes! There are no stairs whatsoever. Both the studio and restrooms are all wheelchair accessible. Please feel free to contact us for any specific seating arrangements needed.
Will my group sit together?
We can typically sit all groups together. However, on busier nights, it may be a little difficult. Drop us a line beforehand and we can attempt to accommodate you. If you have a group of 8 or more, you can book out a private room (for an additional fee) and won’t have to worry about not sitting together. The entire room is yours!
What are the age requirements to paint?
Our sessions are generally 14+ (with exception to kid’s night). Please reach out to us as we are able to accommodate requests for younger artists on a case by case basis.
