Private Events

A private event/party at Paint ‘n’ Sip Studio is great for any event or occasion
team building | social clubs | hens nights | birthday parties | corporate events, the list goes on…

How it works:

get a group of friends or workmates, etc. together, we can seat 32 max and if you have a small group, perhaps consider joining in on our public sessions (see pricing below for minimum fees that apply for a private event/party)
chose a time and date when we do not have a public painting party scheduled or any bookings yet, check our online monthly calendar
choose a 2 hour featured painting from our monthly calendar or click this link
if your group would like us to create a different painting that may suit your event a $50 fee applies (for example – a mosaic, each person paints part of an overall image that all comes together as one very large painting)
