How the Party Flows
Your guests arrive to tables already set with canvases and palettes. The instructor introduces the painting, then guides everyone through it in easy stages: background colors first, then the main shapes, blending and finishing details. There is plenty of time to chat, refill a coffee and admire each other's progress along the way. At the end, everyone signs their work and gathers in the photo area for pictures with the finished canvases. Because each person interprets the same design differently, the lineup of paintings becomes a fun keepsake of the day.
Make It Your Own
The studio can tailor the party to the guest of honor. Pick a design from the studio gallery or request a personalized painting that matches your theme, and ask about party extras such as cake plates, table décor and photo-ready backdrops. Canvas painting is the standard activity for this package. Tote bag painting, resin art, candle making, mosaic lamps, wooden bowl painting and jewelry making can be arranged instead for an additional charge, which makes this flexible party entertainment for adults who have tried everything else.
Food and Drinks
The studio kitchen offers an in-house menu that can be added to your party: platters of salad, artisan cheese and fresh fruit, charcuterie boards, scones with clotted cream, pizzas, sandwiches, kabob plates, chocolate cake and cookies, along with wine and champagne by the bottle. Dietary preferences can be accommodated with notice. Outside food, including a birthday cake, may be allowed for private events with prior approval and a service fee.
Group Size and Pricing
Pricing is a fixed party fee plus a per-guest rate, with a 15-guest minimum, so the total follows your final headcount. The Burlingame studio comfortably hosts larger celebrations of up to fifty guests at tables. For weekend dates, the studio recommends booking at least two to three weeks ahead so the room and instructor are held for you.
The Space
The downtown Burlingame studio is roughly 2,100 square feet of open, light-filled space with original paintings on every wall, tables and chairs, restrooms and a full kitchen. Street parking and nearby public lots are a short walk away. The studio is women-owned and 5.0-star rated, and it was founded by a professionally trained artist with a Master of Fine Arts in Contemporary Painting, which shows in the care that goes into every lesson. For anyone planning a bridal shower or a bachelorette activity, the combination of a private room, an instructor and a take-home painting keeps planning simple.
