Wine & Painting with Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz: Fireworks-Themed Fun for Adults

Treat yourself to a festive, relaxing evening of creativity and connection at this adult Wine & Painting session led by local artists Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz. Whether you’re an experienced painter or trying it for the first time, you’ll enjoy a fun and inspiring atmosphere designed for all skill levels.

In this session, you’ll paint a fireworks-themed scene that captures the energy and excitement of summer celebrations. Sandie and Lezlie will guide you step by step, offering clear instruction on brushwork, color blending, and layout. With each stroke, you’ll gain confidence and watch your unique creation come to life on the canvas.

Beyond artistic technique, the evening offers more than just painting. Creative expression can lift your mood, ease stress, and awaken your imagination. Paired with a glass of wine and great company, the experience becomes both joyful and restorative.

Come solo or bring a friend—either way, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive, no-pressure environment where everyone shares in the fun. You might even meet someone new as you laugh, sip, and paint your way through the night.

All painting supplies are provided, and a glass of wine is included with registration. Guests are also welcome to bring their own favorite beverages if they prefer.

Join us and let your creativity sparkle as brightly as the night sky. You’ll leave with a vibrant piece of art, new memories, and maybe even a new favorite hobby.
