Here are some common questions about Uncorked Canvas.
Public Events
What is an Uncorked Canvas® class like?
In a fun and relaxed setting, our skilled instructor guides you through creating the featured painting with simple step-by-step instructions. You will go home with your own personal creation. We suggest arriving about 10 minutes before the class starts to get the seat of your choice, and 15 minutes early if you are coming as a group.
I signed up for a class, but can’t find my confirmation email!
Check your spam folder first – you’d be shocked at how often our confirmations get filtered out automatically. (Boo!)
If you still can’t find it, you can view a confirmation email sample. If you’d simply like to confirm that we’ve got you registered on our end, feel free to contact us. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
I missed a painting that I really wanted to paint! How often will you repeat paintings?
Please let us know which paintings you want to see again. We love making our calendar fit your needs!
Do I need to sign up in advance?
Yes: because our seating is limited we require advanced sign-up. You can easily register online: Tacoma & West Seattle.
If you want to check on last-minute seating, however, call an hour before the event (Tues.-Sat.) and we’ll let you know if we there’s space available: 253-432-4052, ext. “0”.
What is the cost of an Uncorked Canvas® class?
The price depends on the event type and painting. Regular Public events at our Tacoma and Seattle studios are $35-$40 per person. Other events vary: Date Nights are $70+ per couple; Paint Your Pet is $50 per person; and Kids’ Public Events are $25 per person. Pricing for all events will be listed on our calendar with the event details.
(If you are looking for information on the costs of our Private Events, choose which type you’d prefer for more information!)
What is included in the price for a public event?
We provide canvases, paint, brushes, easels, aprons, and helpful and patient instruction from a skilled artist.
What do I wear?
We will provide aprons – but you should wear something you wouldn’t mind getting paint on (just in case).
What time do I need to arrive for a class?
It is best to arrive 5-10 minutes early to ensure you’re ready when the class begins. If you are coming as a group, please have everyone arrive at least 15 minutes early.
What size is the painting canvas?
Our standard size is a 16″ x 20″ canvas, we use a 11″ x 14″ canvas for kids’ events.
Private Events
Does Uncorked Canvas™ hold private events?
Absolutely! We have two types of private events:
- Travel Events (private event at an offsite location, min. 15 painters)
- Hosted Events (event held in YOUR venue, but managed by us!)
You choose the painting, or have one of our artist design a unique painting for you (commission fees may apply). We can also work with local caterers to manage the event for you.
Travel Events can be booked Tuesday-Saturday, depending on the availability of instructions. Contact us early for weekend times. Limitations for distances may apply, subject to availability.
