What snacks do I bring to the paint and sip class?
You are definitely most welcome to bring something with you to nibble on while you get your creative juices flowing.
Although no one can really say for certain what you should or shouldn’t bring to nosh on during your paint session, there are a few recommendations we’ve put together for you to give you a few ideas.
First you should know a few things about our studio layout that may influence your decision. We do have a long table in our lounge area that is stocked with bottled water and everything you need to have a great cup of coffee. We provide cups, napkins, little plates, and plastic utensils that you are welcome too or you are welcome to bring your own. There is also some space there where you are welcome to place your plates and bowls of goodies to save space at your paint station. At your paint station you will have 2 paint palettes, brushes, a cup of water for rinsing and a canvas on an easel and paper towels and most likely having other painters on either side of you. With all of that you can see how it can get a little crowded. Realistically you can probably fit a glass of something to drink and a small plate with snacks but, 4 course meals and large dinner plates are probably not going to get a spot there very easily, just sayin’.
Here are some popular things that we’ve seen people bring in to snack on that work pretty well:
- Crackers and Cheese
- Finger Sandwiches
- Veggies and Hummus/Dip
- Pretzels/Chips
- Fruit (grapes/berries/apple/banana)
- Granola or protein bars
- Cookies or brownies
- Candy
- Pizza
- Or takeout (like a Chick-Fil-A nugget platter)
For private parties you are welcome to bring in more elaborate things like crockpots of chicken wings and meatballs, salads, trays of food, big birthday cakes, etc… With the run of the whole place to yourself, it’s easy to accommodate things like that in a private party setting.
Hope this helps! Now that my mouth is watering, I will let you go. We hope to see you at the studio soon for a fun paint class.

Стр. 601 – And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest; but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind. And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee ; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life.
Стр. 884 – . he trembles under the saddle of his rider. In this way we carefully and silently marched, until within some forty or fifty rods; when the herd discovering us, wheeled and laid their course in a mass. At this instant we started! (and all must start, for no one could check the fury of those steeds at that moment of excitement), and away all sailed, and over the prairie flew, in a cloud of dust which was raised by their trampling hoofs. M’Kenzie was foremost in the throng.

Стр. 888 – The squaws generally agreed, that they had discovered life enough in them to render my medicine too great for the Mandans; saying that such an operation could not be performed without taking away from the original something of his existence, which I put in the picture, and they could see it move, could see it stir.
Стр. 886 – . ready to fall into the grand procession. For this strange cavalcade, preparation is made in the following manner : the poles of a lodge are divided into two bunches, and the little ends of each bunch fastened upon the shoulders or withers of a horse, leaving the butt ends to drag behind on the ground on either side. Just behind the horse, a brace or pole is tied across, which keeps the poles in their respective places; and then upon that and the poles behind the.
Стр. 884 – Sometimes, in this plight, they were instantly thrown neck and heels over each other’s heads and shoulders — men, women and children, and dogs — sage, sachem, old and young — all in a mass, at the frightful discharge of the steam from the escape-pipe, which the captain of the boat let loose upon them for his own fun and amusement. There were many curious conjectures amongst their wise men, with regard to the nature and powers of the steam-boat. Amongst the Mandans, some called it the “big thunder.
Стр. 884 – . their faces to the ground, and cried to the Great Spirit — some shot their horses and dogs, and sacrificed them to appease the Great Spirit, whom they conceived was offended — some deserted their villages, and ran to the tops of the bluffs some miles distant; and others, in some places, as.

And maybe you don’t know Jane Brown, Who served goats’ whey in Dundrum’s sweet town.
Стр. 576 – Our sorrow for our sins; and then delights To pardon erring man : Sweet mercy seems Its darling attribute, which limits justice; As if there were degrees in infinite, And infinite would rather want perfection Than punish to extent.
Стр. 593 – And among these nations shall thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: ^ 6 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shall fear day and night, and shall have none assurance of thy life: 67 In the morning thou shall say, Would God it were even!

April Fools in a painting
Hey, is that a cow jumping over the moon? That looks like Marge Simpson taking a bath! Oh look! It’s Where’s Wally!
There’s something playful about painting. As an adult, if you haven’t painted for many years; sitting down in front of a canvas with a rainbow of colours on your palette and a paintbrush in hand can evoke joyful memories of painting when you were a kid. Back when times were simple and painting was something you loved doing because it was fun.
Well, we have good news for you! Painting is still fun, and it’s available to you whenever you are ready to play.
Summer Dayze by Erin in Brisbane
Bondi Birdseye by Laura in Brisbane
In April this year, we decided to add an extra layer of playfulness to our sessions for our artists and our guests. We held a little competition amongst our Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne teams. Each session, the artist could add a little ‘April Fool’ into their painting. A little detail that is not usually there. For example, a man in the moon or an animal shape formed in a cloud.
Our team loved this challenge. They came up with so many clever and unexpected ideas for their paintings. Some of our guests got involved too and added extra elements and narratives to their paintings. Below are a few examples of the clever creativity of our talented team. These paintings remind us that painting stokes our imagination. It invites our Inner child to come out and play.
