Workshop Gallery
A look at what happens when you put paint, people, and great venues together. Every piece below was created by someone who said “I can’t paint” at the beginning of the night.
Spring Painting Workshop — Café Clementina, Waterloo
March 2026 · Acrylic on canvas · 25 guests
Our spring workshop brought vibrant tulips and soft pastels to life at Waterloo’s coziest café. Guests painted a seasonal floral scene while sipping lattes and enjoying Clementina’s famous pastries. The energy in the room was electric — first-timers and returning guests alike were fully immersed in the creative process.
Valentine’s Day Painting Night — Café Clementina, Waterloo
February 2026 · Acrylic on canvas · 25 couples · SOLD OUT
Our biggest event to date! 50 people packed into Clementina for a candlelit couples painting night. Heart-themed canvases, rosé on tap, chocolate croissants, and — yes — a surprise proposal. The room was glowing with warmth, laughter, and love. Every couple went home with two complementary canvases designed to hang side by side.
Winter Wonderland Workshop — Wellington Brewery, Guelph
January 2026 · Acrylic on canvas · 30 guests
A cozy January evening at Ontario’s oldest independent craft brewery. Guests painted snowy Ontario landscapes — frozen lakes, snow-covered pines, and soft winter light — while enjoying Wellington’s award-winning craft beer. The taproom was buzzing with conversation and creativity. Our biggest turnout yet at the time!
Holiday Wreath Workshop — Matter of Taste, Kitchener
December 2025 · Fresh floral arrangement · 20 guests
Our very first floral workshop! Guests at Matter of Taste created gorgeous evergreen wreaths with fresh cedar, pine, berries, dried oranges, and ribbon. The wine bar smelled absolutely incredible — a mix of fresh greenery and mulled wine. Every wreath was completely unique, and watching people discover they have a knack for floral design was pure joy.
Fall Foliage Painting — The Yeti Café, Cambridge
October 2025 · Acrylic on canvas · 18 guests
Autumn colours on canvas at Cambridge’s quirkiest café! Guests painted fiery maples, golden birch trees, and winding forest paths while sipping hot apple cider and chai lattes. The Yeti’s eclectic décor and warm atmosphere made it the perfect setting for a cozy fall evening. Several guests from this workshop became regulars — we see them at almost every event now.
Summer Patio Paint Night — Café Clementina, Waterloo
August 2025 · Acrylic on canvas · 22 guests
Our first outdoor workshop! We set up on Clementina’s patio and painted sunflowers as the sun went down. Perfect summer evening — warm breeze, cold drinks, and canvases drying in the golden light. This was the event that convinced me outdoor workshops need to be a regular thing. Summer 2026 patio series is coming!
