Summer Art Camp Suggested Ages:

Shanni also has special items if you feel your child is not prepared for canvas. Please let her know you want to bring your younger children, and she will discuss all possible options.

Toddler Paint & Create:
Just as it says... Toddlers! 2 1/2 and up to ages 5. If older siblings 6, 7, 8, etc. would like to sign up to participate as well we would love to have them, but it should be expressed this class is centered around toddlers and their need for creative play while making art.

Paint Parties

Paint Parties

 

 

Want to schedule a Paint Party With Art by Shanni? Here is all of the information you need to know on how to do so.

  www.facebook.com/CustomArtbyShanni

• A lot of people have asked recently how to schedule a paint party for a child's birthday party or an adult group. I seem to get asked a lot of the same questions over and over, so in an effort to make life a little easier, I thought I would put all of the answers in one place for everyone. Please still feel free to ask me questions, and let me know if I missed anything. :)

FAQ :

What is the cost for a paint party?

Adult groups painting on 11 x14 canvas will pay $35.00 a person. Children Painting on 8x10 canvas will pay $20.00 a person. Unless otherwise noted or stated through advertisements or by Shanni directly.  (Other canvas sizes are available and pricing is based on canvas size picked)

Charity events bring different pricing because they are in place to raise money for a specific cause. Many times these events will cost an addition $5.00 to $10.00 a person.

What can I paint if I don't like the selected painting that day/night?

You can paint what I have selected for the group that night or send me a picture of what you want to do instead. If you pick a custom piece, you must be preregistered and paid in full. All of the prep work I do getting the canvas ready and prepared is time consuming and costly. When participants do not arrive for the party it can be very expensive for me to get the canvas back to its original condition again. I am always willing to make custom pieces though, and encourage all participants to send me their ideas!

Where are events held?

I do not have a specific location or studio. I host these events at public and private venues. Many people enjoy having these events in their own homes so they can bring their own food, drinks, etc. Some prefer to have them at a restaurant, or clubhouse. I can work out location information with you directly. 

What do I bring with me?

You don’t have to bring anything, however, you are welcome to bring any drinks and light snacks.  Private Events may bring additional food items, however space is limited when you are painting and we do not have a kitchen (unless your venue is at someone's home), so there is no refrigeration, coolers or ice available.

How do I register?

You have several options here simply visit the credit card pre-payment link: (Credit Card Pre-Payment) or contact Shanni directly (See link at top) about your venue, they may have a direct drop off location. (Please make sure this is an option, not all venues will be so accommodating). If no direct drop will be available, I am willing to meet with you, or have you drop a check in the mail prior to the party.  Of course cash is always an option, so please just talk with me first.

CREDIT CARDS: CLICK HERE Credit Card Pre-Payment 

 

Select the name of your specific Paint Party, you will see a picture designated to your party, click on the picture. Then your will select the size you want (8x10, 11x14, custom, or if there is only one choice choose the only one listed). You will be directed through registration.  If you are registering for more than one person, please choose to purchase more than one item at that time. When you arrive at class you can also pay with cash or Mastercard/Visa cash/check if we are not sold out yet. 

PAYPAL: for those familiar you are welcome to use this feature as well please make a note the name of the event you are attending so I can have your canvas ready for you. Paypal email is: shanni1801@gmail.com

Do I have to register?

We highly recommend registering as many classes fill up and seats are reserved for those who register.   Additionally, we cancel classes with less than three registrants, so please make sure to register as you never know when you might be the third person, or when we will close the class because we are filled.  For public parties: In the event the class is full, we will have an overflow class scheduled for the same week or following week. Which ever works best for the most people.

How far in advance should I register?

As early as possible to ensure that you will have a space. Adult groups are limited to 20 people and children's groups are limited to 15 spots so each child gets the undivided attention they deserve.  Private Events may be planned up to a year in advance, and based on the number of participants the group can accommodate.

What is the minimum age?

For kids classes, children 4-6 years old must have an adult stay with them. Adults are welcome to paint in the children’s class and pay the children’s rate, but do need reservations as well.When planning a private party, please note if you do not wish to have children paint that night, otherwise, there will be a children's rate and special size canvas available for them. If children are registered on an adult size canvas, they will pay adult size rates.

What should I wear?

Wear paint appropriate clothing, but Art by Shanni does provide each participant with an Apron to cover the front of your clothing. Our paints are acrylic and can stain sometimes, however they are water based. Art by Shanni takes no responsibility for paint stains so please make sure to dress accordingly for the areas our aprons do not cover.

When should I arrive?

Doors normally open 30 minutes prior to class start time and we highly recommend arriving at 10- 15 minutes early as our check in process takes a few minutes to get everyone signed in, paint distributed, etc.

OVERFLOW CLASS:

If any class reaches its max number, we will begin filling up for an overflow class, I will do my best with the overflow class date that accommodates the most people. Those wishing to attend the overflow class as well are certainly welcome and can register as well.
