Bring Your Bestie: A Friendsgiving Painting Party with The Mint Gardener

About this experience

Grab the friend who is always up for something creative and fun, because this is the Friendsgiving tradition you didn't know you needed! Join local artist and bestselling author Sarah Simon (@TheMintGardener) for a warm, playful, autumn-inspired acrylic painting party at glassybaby - at their brand new and beautiful Bellevue location! Sip, snack, laugh, and create together in the company of good friends and the most beautiful handmade glass in the Pacific Northwest. The Painting Experience No artistic experience needed. None. Zero. Not even a little bit. Sarah's teaching style is warm, clear, and genuinely encouraging. She has spent years helping complete beginners fall in love with the creative process, and this class is designed with exactly that in mind. You'll begin with a little playful practice on paper to build your confidence, explore Sarah's step-by-step approach to acrylic painting, and then move on to creating your very own one-of-a-kind design on a glassybaby votive of your own.

By the end of the evening you will have:
✦ Learned the foundations of acrylic painting in a completely approachable, pressure-free way
✦ Created a hand-painted glassybaby that is entirely, beautifully yours
✦ Discovered that you are far more creative than you thought 

What to Expect Think of this less like an art class and more like the best kind of creative gathering: the kind where the conversation flows as freely as the paint, where laughter is encouraged, and where you leave with something genuinely lovely to show for your time together. Sarah will guide every single step with warmth and humor. Whether you have never held a paintbrush before or you dabble creatively on your own, this experience is designed to meet you exactly where you are and carry you somewhere delightful.
