Frequently asked questions.
How much does a session cost & what’s all included?
Session pricing varies on the type of session itself, as well as the number of painters! Our standard step by step classes are $25 a painter, however, we do offer sessions in a variety other price ranges. We also have a four person minimum for all bookings. The session price includes all your materials (canvas, paints, brushes, easel, apron, water cup), as well as the step-by-step instruction from a professional artist.

What do I need to prepare if I host a session?
If you host an event, you will need to provide access to a water source to fill up water cups, and adequate tables/counters/surfaces and chairs for the event! We do have a limited amount of folding tables available for use if needed! Our instructor will arrive 30 mins prior to the session to set up and will be able to help configure the tables and chairs upon arrival.
Please make sure to communicate with your guests to not wear clothing they would not want to get paint on…and same goes for your home. Avoid hosting the event in a heavily carpeted area or around other items that may get stained if paint gets on them. We do supply table covers/sheets for couches in order to protect your surfaces, however, Sticks n Stones Creation will not be held liable for any damage related to paint stains.
We do not provide refreshments, but please feel free to crack open a bottle of wine or put together a snack tray for your guests! There will be a few 5-10 min ‘dry breaks’ during the session, so you & your friends will have plenty of opportunities to sip, snack, and chat! We do recommend finger foods, charcuterie, or other appetizers verses supplying your guests with a sit down meal. Other than that, we’ll handle the rest!
What kind of paint is used?
We use non-toxic acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is water-based, which means it may wash off with soap and warm water, but we do recommend you and your guests wear something you do not mind getting paint on. We supply aprons will help protect your clothes, however, acrylic paint will stain once dry.
Do you require a deposit? What if I don’t know how many friends can make it!
To secure your session and reserve your date, a $50 deposit is required, which will be applied to the final session cost. Your party’s instructor will contact you one week before the event to confirm the final guest count & ensure the appropriate amount of materials is prepared. The remaining balance is due 24 hours prior to your scheduled event. While we charge a per-canvas fee, we prefer that the host collects payment from guests and submits in one lump sum.
Cancellations & Reschedules
If you need to cancel a session or reschedule, you must notify us 36 hours prior to the start of your party. In your email, please be sure to include; your name, location of the event, date of scheduled event, date(s) you are available for a reschedule, or indicate you would like to cancel your session for a refund. Please be advised we will only honor one reschedule per session booking. If a cancellation or reschedule request is made within 36 hours of your scheduled party, the deposit will be non-refundable and will not be applied as credit towards a future session. All cancellation issues must be resolved through email.
