Paint, Sip, & Spooky 🎨🍷 - Oct. 2nd

$59.00

A Gourd-geous Night of Paint & Sip 🎃🕸️

When: October 2nd from 6:30–8:30

Sweater weather is creeping in, and so are the cozy-spooky vibes. Between back-to-school routines and the hauntingly fast fade of summer, it’s easy to forget to take a breather. So we conjured up the perfect plan: paint something, sip something, and treat yourself to a wickedly fun night out.

In this evening workshop, we’ll be decorating ceramic plates using colorful underglazes and a technique called sgraffito (aka: scratchin’ your design right into the surface—like pumpkin carving, but on clay). No experience needed—this one’s all about playing with color, connecting with your coven (or coming solo), and leaving with something handmade and boo-tifully you.

What You’ll Do:

  • Paint & Carve – Each guest gets a blank 8” ceramic plate to design with underglazes, then carve into. Go full fall foliage, sketch a ghostly scene, write a lil love note—it’s your plate to enchant.

  • Pick a Glaze – We’ll finish your piece with a clear glaze, fire it in the kiln, and have it ready for pickup in 3–4 weeks (just in time for spooky season hosting).

What’s Included:

  • A glass of wine (or two—we don’t spook easily)

  • Tea & sparkling water station

  • All the materials, paints, and tools you’ll need

  • Aprons to keep your costume cute and clay-free

  • Plenty of good vibes and gentle guidance from our team of friendly ghouls 👻

Why October?

Because sometimes a little midweek creativity is the real magic spell your nervous system needs. Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a date night—you’ll leave with a handmade treasure and memories to haunt you (in the best way).
