When I first heard about paint & sip parties a few years ago they obviously did not include children. Fast forward to 2017, a few new paint studios have opened, offering a variety of classes & paint nights for all ages and abilities.
The fun starts in an art studio, a pizza place, or even your own home. The trained artist sets everything up, paints, canvas, etc. and guides your kids throughout the painting session. Then they get to take the masterpiece home!
