General

  • Let’s paint the town (literally).

    Our paint and sip sessions are all about good vibes, great company, and getting creative — no experience needed. Whether you’re a first-time dabbler or a seasoned scribbler, our talented artists will guide you step-by-step through your chosen artwork. Want to freestyle and do your own thing? We love that energy. Go wild.

    Each session runs for two to three hours, soundtracked by a curated playlist designed to keep your brush moving and your hips grooving. Come solo, bring your bestie, partner, or mum — whatever your vibe, we’ve got you. And of course, drinks are encouraged (alcoholic or not).

  • Sessions last 2 to 3 hours — but don’t worry, it won’t feel like it. When the fun’s flowing, time tends to disappear.

  • To make sure we’ve got a spot ready for you, we recommend booking ahead. Our sessions are intimate and space is limited. We don’t supply tickets on the door.

Sip and Paint Sessions

  • We recommend arriving at the venue 10 minutes before your session starts — just enough time to get comfy, settle in, and let the wine (or fizz) start flowing.

  • Our sessions usually kick off within 10 minutes of the start time, but if you’re a little behind, we’ve got you. We’ll help you get settled and catch you up — no one gets left behind at our paint parties.

  • Dress to express — not to impress.

    We provide aprons to help protect your outfit, but we always recommend wearing something comfy that you wouldn’t mind getting a splash of paint on. After all, creativity can get a little messy.

    While we do our best to keep the paint on the canvas, Studio40 can’t take responsibility for any colourful souvenirs left on your clothes. But don’t worry — if you do get a little artsy by accident, here are some handy tips to help lift those stains:

    For wet paint:

    Gently scrape off the excess (don’t rub it in!) and rinse the area with water. Dab — don’t wipe — with a cloth, then treat with a 50/50 mix of water and detergent using a sponge. Wash as normal.

    For dry paint:

    Flake off what you can, then use a stiff brush to loosen any remaining bits. Soak in a 50/50 mix of water and detergent for 20 minutes, sponge the area gently, and pop it in the wash.

    Quick tip:

    Always test any removal method on a hidden spot first, and check your garment’s care label before getting stuck in.

  • Our venues are strictly no BYOB.

    But don’t worry — we’ve got the good stuff ready for you. Grab your favourite sip from our bar and let the creativity flow.

  • Take your masterpiece with you!

    Since this event is held at a popup venue, we aren’t able to store any canvases after the session. You’ll need to take your artwork home with you on the night.

    We recommend bringing a bag that fits your canvas — or you can grab a tote or plastic bag from us if needed.

PRIVATE EVENTS

  • We host everything from hen parties and birthdays to team-building sessions and seasonal celebrations. If it’s a reason to gather and get creative, we’re in!

  • Yes! We’ll help you pick a theme or artwork that fits your vibe — from cheeky nudes to festive pieces. No experience needed — it’s all about fun.

  • Most events run for around 2 hours. We provide all materials — canvases, paints, brushes, aprons — and guide you every step of the way. But do get in touch for longer events.

  • Pricing depends on your group size, location, and preferences. Just drop us a message with your event idea and we’ll send a custom quote.

PRIVATE TUITION

  • These sessions are great for kids, teens, or adults — whether you’re prepping for GCSEs, building a portfolio, or just want to grow your creative skills at your own pace.

  • All lessons are held in the comfort of your own home. We bring everything needed, and tailor the session to your space and goals.

  • We’ll bring supplies to get started. Over time, we’ll recommend what to have on hand based on your style, progress, and preferences.

Payments & Bookings

  • Once your order’s gone through, you’ll get a confirmation email with all the need-to-knows about your upcoming session.

  • We’re flexible when it comes to payment — all major cards are welcome, plus PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay too.

  • We love a full house, but all our sessions are pre-booked so we can plan ahead — from how many canvases to set up to how much paint to pour. Every seat is reserved for a reason, and we want to make sure everyone gets the best experience (with the right amount of brushes and bubbly to go around).

    We don’t sell tickets on the door or accept walk-ins, so make sure to book ahead — once we’re full, we’re full!

  • No worries—just let us know at least 48 hours in advance.

    No-shows = no refunds, credits, or reschedules.

    For all refund enquiries, please email info@studio40.art and we’ll do our best to help!

  • On the off chance we need to cancel a session (which is super rare, promise!)

    We’ll let you know by email or text at least 24 hours before your session’s due to start.

    You’ll be able to reschedule to another upcoming date or get a credit to use whenever suits you — the choice is yours!

    Let me know if you’d like a version with a bit more reassurance or a little cheeky flair!Item description
