A Creative Experience Guests Will Remember

Star Petal Studios brings guided painting experiences directly to hotels, corporate gatherings, and private events - creating a relaxed, social way for guests to connect, unwind, and enjoy creating together.

Led by artist and arts educator Lindsey Kircher, each workshop is designed to be welcoming and accessible to participants of all experience levels. Guests are guided through the creative process, learning about art history, color, style, and different painting techniques as they create a unique artwork of their own.

More Than a Painting Class

Star Petal Studios goes beyond a traditional Paint & Sip class, creating opportunities for guests to: 

  • Connect with friends and other guests through a shared creative experience

  • Learn something new about the famous artists and artworks that inspire each workshop

  • Unwind and step away from the pace of everyday life

  • Build confidence developing artistic skills and techniques

  • Create beautiful, meaningful artwork they can be proud to bring home
