Lets Go To A Painting Party

By Kathy Barnett Editor-In-Chief

Grab your friends and celebrate Spring at a fun Scioto Paint Party. It’s as simple as “1, 2, 3” or the 3 “C”s as in “Connect, Create and Celebrate” according to owner Shannon Hubbs.

Step 1 is to pick your date and time. Step 2 is to choose your painting from the master template containing more than 100 patterns. Step 3 is invite your guests and prepare to celebrate the occasion.

Shannon just recently moved her studio and shop to her farm near Delaware and guests can now explore nature, enjoy farm animals and view God’s artistic scenery in the wide open spaces. During your painting session, enjoy upbeat music, a cozy studio (complete with a fireplace), and your favorite people while the instructor leads you step by step from beginning to end on a 16 x 20 canvas. Nonalcaholic beverages are available to purchase.

These painting parties are designed for fun, relaxation and stress-free enjoyment more than the actual artistic ability, according to Shannon. It is based on the idea of getting together, away from the daily hectic activities of life. Suitable for ages 10 and up, you also have the choice of planning a party at your chosen location. Two March 10th events open to public attendance will be at Creative Paper Arts located in downtown Powell.

“We strive to provide you, our guest, with a fun experience that develops your abilities and increases your confidence, even if you have never painted or crafted before,” said Shannon. “It’s focus is fun art, not fine art.”

The farm is located four miles West of Delaware off of HWY 37 and SR 257. Park in front of the barn and the Art Studio is in the lower level of the house. It is nice if you drive together as parking can be limited. Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to the alloted schedule because the creativity starts right on time.

Prices are $27 to $39 per guest; everything is included.
