THINGS TO KNOW
This session will have assigned seating. If your group is booking separately, please ensure you leave us a note in the 'Notes/Special Requests' field or send us an email prior to the session. We cannot make any alterations to seating at time of the session as this will cause delay to our schedule and affect all other customers. Groups booking together will automatically be seated together.
There is no ticketing system in place and you will not be sent any physical tickets - just arrive at the session with your booking name and reference number and a member of our team will seat you.
The actual model painting at time of event may vary in colour and technique to inspire creativity and the model painting is only used as a guide to help you achieve your masterpiece. You will find it is very difficult to replicate a model painting exactly and this is not the ultimate goal of our studio - we want you to be creative, have fun with painting and add your own flair to your artwork.
All events will generally run for 3 hours. This encompasses painting time as well as sipping and drying time. We recommended you arrive 5 minutes early so you can grab a seat and your painting equipment, meet fellow painters, open your bottle and unwind before the painting begins.
Painting will not begin until approximately 20 minutes after the scheduled start time so don’t worry if you are running a little late, just contact us at brushandsipau@gmail.com or SMS ONLY 0452 065 650 to let us know. Please note, extra time for late-comers may not be possible.
Our studio is strictly BYO due to RSA licensing laws. Therefore, we are unable to provide any drinks or snacks for the event. We highly encourage guests to bring their own drinks and snacks to have during the session. Food deliveries to the studio are also welcome, however, please ensure the delivery is made after your arrival as we may not be open at other times to accept the delivery. We take no responsibility for incorrect deliveries or accidents with your order - if there are any issues, please contact the restaurant or food delivery company.
Glassware and a limited supply of serving platters is provided, however if you require any specific, including cutlery and serving utensils, we recommend bringing your own to the session. You will have access to our fridge to cool your food and drinks.
If required, you are most welcome to leave your painting(s) to pick up at another date. However, we only hold items left behind for 2 weeks after the session (unless we receive further communication). Additionally, our opening hours vary pending on bookings so the studio is not always open during regular business hours. Please check in with the team present at the event for further details if you would like to proceed with this option.
Please also read the COVID-19 section for how our sessions will be changing as a result of the pandemic and the additional hygiene practices and social distancing measures our team will be implementing.
If you require any additional information or if we can be of any further assistance, please email us at brushandsipau@gmail.com
We look forward to brushing and sipping with you!
