Paint and Sip: Spring Garden Parasols, Grounds for Sculpture

Sunday May 31, 2026
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Celebrate the beauty of spring and be inspired by the Impressionist. Create and sip while immersing yourself in blooming gardens and magnificent works of art. Start with a guided tour of the impressionist inspired art works in the gardens, then return to the classroom to create your own hand-painted parasol reflecting the vibrant colors and florals of the season. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just looking for a fun and relaxing night out, this guided workshop makes it easy to design a one-of-a-kind piece to take home. Sip, socialize, and let your creativity blossom as our instructor walks you step-by-step through painting delicate florals, soft pastels, and garden-inspired details on your parasol. All materials are provided—just bring your imagination (and maybe a friend!). Each participant will receive one drink at our Van Gogh Café included with their ticket. Spots are limited. Reserve yours and let’s welcome spring in full bloom!
