Finding the artist inside you

Our classes are instructed step-by-step with room for individual expression and combine the joy of painting mixed in with a little bit of teaching. Classes are offered in small groups so that everyone has some individual time for help.

 We use high quality, student grade artist acrylic paint that is colourfast for 60 plus years. It does NOT come out of clothing, so please dress down. Aprons are available upon request.  

All supplies are included in your fee. Bring a drink - it gets warm on the porch.

In the summer, classes are held on the porch at Dawne's house next to the studio - come on up.

When it's too cold for for the porch we paint in the kitchen - the front door is via the porch. 

If you wish to book a private class please check for open dates on the calendar on this page.  Classes are generally held in the morning so that the studio/store can be opened for noon. Evening classes are not listed so please email with a suggested date should you require one. 

Private classes for a single individual is $55.00 for a 2 hour session and include all materials.

Private parties for 2 or more persons are $35.00 per person for a 2 hour session - all materials included. 

Yes we do that! Please email Dawne with the details and location of your event for pricing.

Fundraiser for up to 20 persons are possible. 

Generally by the time kids are 5 they can tackle a painting but may not have the ability to sit still for a long class. They tend to need more one on one and hands on help.

The best option for this is to come and do a Parent & Child or Grandparent & Child class. There are a few painting samples in a slideshow at the bottom of the page but we can always  paint a favourite subject. Email for details.

Please message Dawne to discuss a private class.

This page has been updated on June 4 to reflect the seats still available for each Saturday.

If a class is full:

1. Ask anyway. I can put you on a wait list should someone cancel

2. I am open to starting a second class on Sunday morning - let me now if this works for you

3. Book a day during the week for a private class. It gets very busy some weeks during the summer so if you don't see an opening, please ask.

Welcome to the Kids Summer Paint Class info page. We offer a class every Saturday in July and August - a different painting each week. All supplies included for your little one to create their own version of the weekly painting. Parents do not need to stay - go do your thing!

Finish times are approximate as everyone paints a little differently and there are often some little bits at the end that need some one-on-one help to finish. It's also a total guess for me to try to create pieces that are interesting that can be done in a couple of hours. 

Be prepared to wait.

Please DRESS DOWN for class. Acrylic paint DOES NOT come out of clothing. 

$30.00 per session with payment due the week before the class minimum.

Registration is required 

Private classes are available on other days - please check the online calendar for availability.
