Valentine's Day Sip & Paint
Need creative plans for Valentines week? Come paint textured florals and gift it to yourself or to someone who deserves your love. Whether you’re coming on your own or bringing someone along, we’ll have paints, sips and the bowling arena for you to make your day memorable. RSVP Here.
In this guided mixed media workshop, you will paint your own , one-of-a-kind, 4x6 inches textured floral masterpieces on paper — no experience needed, just a willingness to play and get a little messy. The artist has perfected this art style over the years and has sold over 200 of these floral paintings. Now is your chance to learn this skill and adorn your own walls with one created by you.
The artist will guide you to make textured vases on paper in a unique style of layering paint, and paint florals to complete it in unexpected ways. Each attendee will leave with a unique artwork to take home — No two creations would look the same.
✨ ✨✨✨
All art supplies are included in the ticket price.
Frames would be available optionally to purchase on the spot.
Buy at least one drink/food item of your choice at the bar.
Beginner friendly class, all skill levels are welcome.
Attendees will take home their own final creation.
Attendees are welcome to order more food/drinks at the bar.
Meet fellow creatives and enjoy the ongoing art show and cosy bar vibes. Stay back for bowling with your friends if you like.
Though pets are welcome at the venue, due to the nature of event and the comfort of fellow attendees, we request you to please leave pets at home while attending this class.
The process involves only a slight paint mess on the hands which you can wash off.
