—— A HAND-PAINTED WORK OF ART ——
There’s nothing quite like a hand-painted work of art to show someone just how much they mean to you. The time, effort, and love that goes into a painting will be noticed ad much appreciated by whoever unwraps it. We’ve got a calendar filled with amazing holiday-themed artwork for you to come in and make for some of the people on your list.. and we’re sure that once you see all of the fabulous classes we’re offering, you’ll want to attend a few! You can come in and make some art to hang in your home this season, as well as some to give out to family and friends! A hand-painted gift from the heart is something that the recipient will cherish forever.
It’s not just a painting that makes a good gift, but also our GIFT CERTIFICATES! These make a great gift idea because the recipient gets to come in and make their very one hand-painted work of art, too. Get some for your loved ones and join them for the class, so you can bond over a unique, shared experience, while making memories and masterpieces together.
-- If you’re looking for gifts that are easy to mail for you out-of-state loved ones, a Pinot’s Palette gift certificate works perfectly, and can be used a location near them!
