Paint & Sip Studio

Start with a blank canvas and sip your way to a one-of-a-kind masterpiece at Paint & Sip Studio - now at The Arts Centre! We invite you to spend some creative, relaxing time with us at our Studio, New Zealand's first social painting destination born right here in Christchurch.

All levels of experience welcome, especially those who can't draw a stick figure. We’ll support you every step of the way as you put colour to canvas. Gather friends or come on your own and get your creative juices flowing at one of our posted public sessions. Or book one of our popular private sessions, great for corporate events, birthday parties, hen’s dos, social clubs, team building, holiday parties and celebrations for all ages. Get in touch today and let us help you plan something truly unique.

Keep an eye on our Calendar for details on upcoming events which include Paint Your Pet, Open Paint, and other creative experiences such as sketching and drawing classes, terrarium building, printmaking and more.

Our fully stocked bar has something for everyone, and public sessions include a range of delicious nibbles to enjoy at the halftime break.
