Frequently asked questions
-
What is a painting pARTy?
A painting pARTy is also called "paint and sip". It is a social and fun experience where you paint together with others whether they be friends or people you meet in studio and guided by an artist.
-
Do I have to create the same painting?
Not necessarily. The artist encourages you to explore your creativity by finding colour combinations, textures and styles. Every single artwork is uniquely your own. We have a wall of paintings that you can also use as your reference if you feel like painting something else.
-
Can I bring a drink or food?
Yes, you can! This is a BYO venue, glassware is provided. Sip or/and eat along as you paint or have it during the break, your choice. A fridge is also available if you would like to keep them cool. We also have a complimentary tea and coffee cart. No hard liquor please.
Just like going to a restaurant, underage people are allowed. However, a paying adult has to accompany and supervise them.

What if I need to cancel my booking?
Please note that all bookings are non-refundable. They will be processed as credit.
Cancellation Policy
Sometimes things happen that we don't plan for. So you don't lose your booking, make sure to rebook at least 48 hours in advance. Rebooking less than 48 hours before the session attracts a $10 fee. Unfortunately, "no shows" will forfeit your payment. To avoid that, you can give your spot to a family member or a friend. If for any reason the session has to be cancelled by us ( illness, government directive i.e. lockdown etc), we will refund you.
-
Can I just walk in?
Bookings are essential. We have very limited spots and we need to prep your painting station, so booking in advance is a must.
-
What is the parking situation?
We are located in a residential area. We have one parking space on the driveway so "first come, first served". Ride sharing is recommended. There is street parking and you can park in adjoining streets. Please do not park near the traffic islands so as not to restrict the flow of traffic, and do not park across driveways. Please observe parking rules.
-
Do you have gift cards?
Yes, we do. You can purchase them here.
