When you book a private party, we provide you with a talented artist/instructor who will give you and your guests step by step guidance and professional instruction. We provide paints, canvas, and all the supplies. We set up before and clean up after, and provide plenty of entertainment in between. Each painter goes home with their new masterpiece and a lot of fun memories.

THE FINE PRINT:
Cancellation Policy: What if I need to change or cancel my reservation?
We understand that sometimes "life happens", and we are happy to accommodate a date change for a private party reservation, one time, with at least two weeks advance notice of the original party date. This gives us the opportunity to fill the scheduled time slot and rearrange our instructors schedules. A party that is cancelled or rescheduled for a second time, forfeits the reservation deposit and a new deposit will be required to reschedule the party a second time.
How to cancel a private event: You must cancel a private party reservation in writing to Studio. The email must be dated at least 2 weeks (14 calendar days) prior to the event, include the date/time/host name. The host will be contacted to verify cancellation and arrange for a reschedule date.
Cancellations made over the phone or via a voice or text message will not qualify for a refund or reschedule of a cancelled class.
If you meet qualifications for this cancellation policy, the amount that you previously paid toward your cancelled reservation may be applied as an "account credit" that you may apply to a future class, but we do not offer cash refunds for cancelled reservations. Cancellations made 14 days prior to the event will be credited 100% of the reservation deposit toward a rescheduled event, cancellations made 7 to 13 days prior to the event will forfeit 50% of the reservation deposit, cancellations made 3 to 7 days prior will forfeit 75% or the deposit. Cancellation made within 48 hours of the scheduled class start time, and/or no-shows, will not be credited or refunded, per our cancellation policy. Thank you for your understanding.
Please arrive before your party's scheduled start time, so we can begin your painting on time, we will attempt to catch up painters up to 15 minutes past the time we begin painting, but please understand that the instructor may have to push through some parts of the painting more quickly in order to be done on time. *Please be aware of the scheduled time that you have reserved. It is important that each class ends on time, this allows us time to clean up after your event and set up for the next class. Our hourly venue rental rate applies when a party goes over it’s reserved time, if you feel you will need more than the 2 hour time slot you’ve reserved, please let us know when you book your party, so we can ensure it will not affect another class. For parties that exceed their scheduled time frame, the fee is $25 for the first 15 minutes, $75 for 16 – 30 minutes past, $100 for 31 – 45 minutes, $150 for 46 – 60 minutes past. $150 is our standard hourly party room rental rate. A $50 instructor fee may apply if the time overage affects the instructors next scheduled class or causes them to go over their scheduled shift.
