It’s time to finally fill the empty spot above your sofa with something you love - email us reference photos of art you’re inspired by and if suitable and we can pre sketch it onto your canvas for you so you’re not starting from scratch. Additional daytime studio passes are available to purchase if you need extra time. No experience necessary, each ticket includes all supplies and admission for 2 people to paint 1 canvas (coming solo is more than ok!). After you paint your piece, leave it with us for framing. At the end of the next week, it’s ready for you. We can deliver it for a small fee if you can’t take it home yourself! The large and larger both fit in a large car or wagon but the largest had to be transported in a moving van or truck.
