Paint & Sip
Señor Sangria, Maplewood Wheelhouse and I are popping up at Lum’s Cellars for an awesome night of sipping & painting. Senor Sangria will bring the beverages. Wheelhouse will make the centerpieces. Those fruit-centered designs will be our still lives! Paint supplies will be provided (but you have the option to bring your own.)
Let’s elevate your standard paint & sip into a far more social occasion, where you STILL end up with a piece of art at the end of the night, but you also have dinner and experience the efforts of several local small businesses.
