Paint Your Poison offers you a choice to customize your painting. When you buy tickets online for an event you will be given an option depending on the painting. Some paintings will have a choice to customize a color, and others will have a choice to paint on various substrates (such as wine glasses, beer glasses, totes, pallets, wood board, or canvas). We also like to use glitter, UV fluorescent paint, and metallic paint.

No, food and alcohol are not included in your ticket price. Your ticket price covers your seat at the event and all materials. Our venues have a wonderful selection of food and beverages, which we encourage guests to enjoy.

Our events begin and end on time. If you have already purchased a ticket, please kindly arrive at least 10-15 minutes early to our event so that you have time to order food/drink and get situated.

While food and drink are not included in the event price, we partner with great venues who already offer delicious foods and beverages. If the event is at a bar or restaurant that already serves food and alcohol, you cannot bring your own food or alcohol.

If you arrive late to an event, you can still participate but will not be able to receive guided instructions for the portion that you have missed and class will not be extended past the scheduled ending time. Our classes are treated as timed events that begin and end on time.

You choose what you want to paint on and we’ll provide all the supplies and set up a station for you to paint at. These are timed events, and will begin and end on time.

Open paint classes are recommended for people who have some previous experience painting.

We offer step by step instruction in every class so that people of all skill levels can participate. While some paintings might be on a more challenging substrate or require more close attention to detail, everyone should be able to complete them with the help of our awesome instructors!

Yes. Our paint is student grade acrylic paint. It contains no dairy, soy, casein, latex, tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, or egg. And better yet—it’s made in the U.S.A.!

All of the paint we use is acrylic and will come out of your clothing if you wash it with soap and water immediately. Paint that is allowed to dry for 24 hours on any clothing may not come out.

You can use 3M Command™ strips or VELCRO® Brand HANGables® wall fasteners.

Allow the paint to dry for 2 hours after class. Put your glass upside down into a cool oven. Turn your oven up to 350° and let your glass bake for 30 minutes. Allow oven and glass to cool before removing it. We advise gentle hand washing only with a non-abrasive soap. Your painted glass product is not microwave safe.

Per manufacturer guidelines, after the glass has been fully cured in the oven it will be top rack dishwasher safe. However after being fully cured, the glass is not microwave safe. Do not ever scrub the glass with an abrasive surface as this will cause the paint to scratch off.

The glass paint is not food-safe and should only be used on the outside of your glass approximately 1 inch down from the rim. Manufacturer guidelines say the paint is non-toxic but also not food-safe. The painted glass will not be microwave safe even after fully curing.

Painted totes are spot wash only. Use a non abrasive surface such as a damp rag or wet paper towel and gently rub the spot with warm water. Add a tiny amount of laundry soap if the stain is stubborn. You can pro-actively apply Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector if you want to have a much easier time cleaning any stains you may acquire!
