Paint Party FAQ

Do I Need To Have Any Experience?

Any skill level is welcome, whether you are a beginner and have never held a paintbrush in your life or if you are a fine art veteran and have been painting your entire life. This is not a class and we are not grading you. This is a paint party and we are more like coaches that are giving you the freedom to be creative. Art is therapy and this should be your chance to de-stress, unwind, and let your imagination run wild, especially if it’s a night away from the kids ;)

I can’t paint, will I make a fool of myself?

Our paintings are designed with a ‘feel good’ factor! Most of our customers haven’t painted since school, and our focus is on fun and relaxation. Our lead artist will walk you through every step of the painting with loose instruction, however we think you’ll be so relaxed half way through that you’ll probably stop listening to them!

Do you ever teach younger children to paint?

Yes. You decide whether it is just a fun lesson, or run like a real class! We teach kids parties from ages 5 and older.

What’s Included in the Price?

You and your guests get to choose with an artist beforehand what you’d like to create. We will provide all of the art supplies for the paint party which includes the canvases, paints, brushes, easels, aprons, palettes, water cups, napkins, table cloths, drop cloths, tables & chairs if need be and you will of course get to take your finished masterpiece home with you. We will provide the instructions for your guests as well as the necessary time to setup the party beforehand and break down the party afterward.

What do I need to bring?

Just your wonderfully, open-minded self.

Do I need a reservation?

To guarantee that we have an available spot for you party please make an advanced reservation. Contact us to reserve your spot and we will keep it for 48 hours for you to make a deposit.

Is there any minimum amount of people for the party?

We tend to have around 5-10 people paint parties.

What type of paint do you use?

Acrylic paint. Sometimes we will teach special classes using watercolors, or charcoal, or pencil, oils etc.

Will my painting be dry by the end of the night?

Acrylic paint does dry fast, however there may be a few areas that are still slightly wet before you leave.

What Should I Wear For Clothing?

Although we will be providing all of your party guests with aprons, it is recommended that you wear clothing that you don’t mind getting paint on. Also just as an FYI, the paints we will be using are acrylics (mostly) which are water based non-toxic paints. Acrylics do make for an easy clean up on hands and skin, but clothing is a bit more difficult to get rid of stains.

How early should I arrive?

10 minutes before the scheduled class would be plenty of time.

Do You Supply Food & Beverages?

Yes, this is possible. It will depend on the package you will get.

Do You Take Photos at The Event?

Yes, we love taking photos and sharing them on social media! We usually do a big group shot in the middle and at the end of the painting session and will always take personal photos of you and your friends if asked. Typically after a paint party, we'll upload the photos to our Facebook/Instagram page within next couple of days and we encourage you to share and like the photos with your family and friends. We also encourage our guests to take their own photos and videos with their cell phones or digital cameras and help spread the Ulianka's Paint Parties love on social media. When posting on social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram), please use #uliankraft to show your love and support. For any reason, if you do not want to be included in any photos, please let us know at the start of the event and we'll make sure not to include you in any photos and will do our best to crop you out of the photos before posting on social media. We respect your privacy and understand your desire to not be included.

Will You Paint At My Work?

Yes, we can definitely coordinate onsite corporate events in your conference room, cafeteria, or any other location in your office building. We love painting in people's work environments, because it gives all the employees a chance to unwind and destress in an atmosphere that can sometimes regularly create stress in their lives. We feel painting at work can be an exhilarating form of therapy for many people. Staff love seeing their normal work environments completely transformed with drop cloths, easels, canvases, and loads of paint. If you can't find a way to host a paint party at your work, but you want to have a paint party for your office at another venue, let us know and we'll be more than happy to coordinate an event with you at a restaurant or other location.
