Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have class-time flexibility?

The times posted on the registration form are very flexible, but dependent upon adequate enrollment.

Do I need to bring anything to the event?
Just an open mind, seeking creativity, and a friend or two! We supply all of the materials necessary for painting.

We use non-toxic acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is water-based, which means it will wash off with warm water and soap. We will provide aprons for the event, but we strongly recommend that you wear clothing that you do not mind getting paint on.

Tips are much appreciated but certainly not expected. If you feel the artist or assistant has done a great job then feel free to express your gratitude!

Seating is reserved for the registered attendees. If additional seats are available, non-painting attendees, may secure a seat for $20.00. In addition, we do welcome walk-in painters to pay at the door if there is space available. However, this is not guaranteed, so we strongly recommend that your friends register before hand.
