Half art lesson + half art party = 100% fun
We arrive at least one hour early to set up so guests show up with art supplies set up and ready to go. We always encourage people to have food and drink available to round out the experience. Once guests are settled in we ask them to pick a seat and put on an apron.
An instructor and an assistant will be on hand to ensure everyone gets plenty of help as needed as well as photos taken to capture the experience. Just to break the ice we usually go around the room so everyone can introduce themselves and say what sort of creative hobby they are into. We are all creative in some way whether through cooking, decorating, or painting so it's important for people to realize they are in fact artistic by nature.
Once the room is warmed up we talk briefly about what the event will entail so they know what the process is and then we get started painting. The instructor gives both verbal directions as well as demonstrates visually so everyone gets to see what the next step is. The assistant walks around to make sure everyone gets directions, refill supplies as needed and takes photos.
About half way through we take a break so guests can stretch and walk around to see how everyone is doing, refill beverages, and socialize.
Paintings take 2-3 hours depending on the complexity and group size. Once done guests will get to walk around and see each other's work once again as well as take a group photo. At the end we do all the cleaning and guests take home their creation.
Minimum group size is 8 people. Maximum is 60. We have some tables and chairs available for on location events with an additional set up fee.
Inspire SD Studio has been in business almost 2 years. We started as an art workshop company similar to "paint and wine" style businesses by hosting at local restaurants. Since then we have slowly grown into more of an event company and opened a studio location in La Mesa. We still host at some restaurants and have a great relationship with these restaurants for private events.
Inspire SD Studio is led by owner, Jessica Kost, who has been an artist and event coordinator for many years. She has ten artists on hand who offer an eclectic mix of art projects.
We pride ourselves in being reliable, professional, and helpful to everyone so they leave feeling accomplished with their art and have warm memories of the experience.
Our Studio: We host private parties at our studio in La Mesa which fits up to 15 guests and has a garden area to set up food and drinks so people can mingle. Our studio is BYOB so your welcome to bring wine and beer. Utensils/plates/serving dishes/glassware are not provided.
Partner restaurants: we work with a few restaurants in San Diego. We can host at one of these locations if they are available. Purchase of food and drinks will be required and payable to the restaurant. Once a date is agreed upon then the client will work with the actual restaurant to plan food/beverage.
On Location: We can travel anywhere in San Diego County. A travel fee may apply if outside the San Diego/La Mesa city. We don't bring tables unless requested. Inspire SD Studio has 6:6 foot tables, 2 canopies, and 15 chairs available for an additional set up fee if needed.
