Premiere Paint Studio in Tacoma
Uncorked Canvas® was founded in April of 2011. Ours was the first Peninsula-based paint and wine studio south of Seattle.
Making Art Possible
We believe that art should be accessible and possible. Our focus is to provide encouraging and artistic ways for people of all levels of experience (and no experience) to complete a piece of art they can be proud of. Creativity should be open to everyone!
Our Location
Uncorked Canvas’ studio (21+) is located in downtown Tacoma, on the ground floor of a lovely vintage converted-condo building on A Street overlooking the water.
Hours of Operation
The paint studios are open during class times (see our Tacoma calendar for more info) or by appointment only. Studio and office are closed Mondays.
We are not always in the office, so please forgive any delay in response – we promise we will get back to you as soon as possible! ❤️
