Portrait Painting Parties
Portrait Painting with acrylic. We set you up with a canvas, easel, paints, brushes, wipes -- everything you need for your "masterpiece" -- except please don't make a masterpiece! This is the one time when the worse you are the better. You will laugh until your cheeks hurt.
Parties are provided simple refreshments and guests welcome to bring whatever refreshments they would like.
Either you come to us ($40/pp) or we bring the party to you ($45/pp) We'll also bring table coverings.
Tiny Worlds, Boxes + Tins
Creating tiny worlds in these lightweight wooden boxes and tins (like the ones those curiously strong mints come in) are delightfully imaginative! You'll feel like you're playing with elves, faeries, and all sorts of mystical forces as you assemblage in miniature. We provide all the accutrement you'll need. Fun stuff -- googly eyes, little trees, flowers, gnomes, buttons, and more!
Ceramics + Air Dry clay
Folks love the simplicity of painting a pre-made form. Choose from gnomes, rainbows, circles, butterflies, owls, vases. We do it without kilns or firing so you can paint it, seal it, and take it home the same day.
Air dry clay is super easy to work with --without the uncertainty of kilns, firing, and glazes. This clay dries within a day and can be painted with acrylics.
Kraft Paper Boxes
These kraft paper boxes make perfect little gifts by themselves or adorable wrapping for jewelry, soaps, letters, candles. Stencil on messages, words, themes, or designs or decoupage images you love. Either way, you're creating a keepsake to treasure.
Watercolor + Tiny Canvas
What could be cuter than a tiny little piece of DIY watercolor art on a itty bitty easel? We'll help you make it so you can take it.
Collage Animal Silhouettes
Collaging Animal Silhouettes is easy when you have us to guide you, though may be best suited for us older 'kids'. After choosing which animal you want to outline, you sort through the colors, finding what aqppeals to you. Then, after placing them in whatever pattern you choose -- rainbow, gradient, mono-tone -- you glue down the pieces of ephemera and trim the edges. Voila!
Totes + Towels
We have blank tea towels, totes, napkins - and the fabric paint to make them yours. Stencil, embroider, or sew patches, designs, phrases -- whatever makes you happy.
Banners
We got banners, yes we do! We got banners just for you! Stencil, paint, stitch, emboider. All the toys to help you fly your flag.
Candles, votives
DIY how you want to light up your world. Whether it's decoupage, stenciled on letters or words, even gems and rhinestones. We've got you covered.
Whether it's a family get-together, a Ladies' Night Out, a kids' party,
a work team-building event, or festive holiday -- we have you covered.
We do the setup, entertaining, inspiring, and clean up.
All you do is bring the people!

FAQs
1. Can we bring in outside food? Yes! You're welcome to bring in any food you like. Cake, ice cream, cupcakes, fried chicken, tacos, pizzas, and snacks. You are welcome to eat in the studio. If you would like us to pick up and bring in the food, that is a case by case basis. Just ask.
2. My son's grandparents want to attend. Do they have to pay if they're just watching? No, the fee is only for crafting participants. That said, there isn't a whole lot of room for extra people (caretakers, siblings) to stand around, but there is an adjacent kitchen with a table and chairs just a few steps from the studio where folks are able to hang out.
3. How many people can you accommodate? The big red table seats 8-9 kids, and we can pop up tables to extend the seating capacity to 12-13.
4. I can't get a visual of the space in my head. Can I come see the studio in person? You're welcome to stop by and see the studio. Simply make an appointment by emailing us HERE. I have a bunch of crafts projects on display so you can see your choices firsthand.
5. What if we have last minute add-ons or cancellations? We understand, life happens. But we're also running a business. If it's an emergency or illness, we should be able to refund your no-show. If you're adding on at the last minute, we will charge 1 1/2 fee for the accommodation. We plan each event according to what you tell us. If that changes at the last minute, we have to make to adjustments too. Please keep in mind this is a private studio and cannot accommodate large groups.
