The Heritage BallroomPre-Drawn SIP & Paint Experience! Pollyanna Brewing St. Charles. Weds, April 29th 6:30PM
Settle in at Pollyanna Brewing in St. Charles for an upbeat sip and paint led by artist Cliff Harman of SIP Parties. Expect a show-style lesson that blends humor and audience interaction with clear, step-by-step instruction, along with fresh pre-drawn designs and the option to paint a personalized pet portrait. Every ticket includes all art materials, with a choice of an 11 x 17 wood pallet or a 16 x 20 canvas, plus a set of 10 brushes to keep. The art surfaces are sketched in advance so the focus stays on technique, and multiple image options are available to choose from. SIP Parties operates as a traveling art and entertainment studio, so lighting, sound, and seating may vary by venue. Seating is first come, first served, and arriving promptly helps secure preferred spots; participant discretion is recommended. Guests may come early to purchase an appetizer and a beer or glass of wine from the host location, with food and beverages sold separately. Advance registration through SIP Parties is required. Walk-ins and third-party ticket transfers are not accepted, and sales close 24 hours before the event to allow for preparation.
