SUMMARY:Palette & Pours: Lighthouses
DESCRIPTION:Palette & Pours: Lighthouses – A Wine & Paint Night for Adults\nSettle in for Palette & Pours – a relaxed\, adults-only painting class where creativity and connection come easy. In this coastal-inspired session\, we’ll paint a lighthouse scene\, capturing the glow\, color and calm of the shoreline. \nThis isn’t your typical art class. It’s a chance to unwind\, sip\, and enjoy a creative night out. As you paint\, you’ll ease into the rhythm of the brush\, letting go of the day and enjoying the process as much as the finished piece. \nWhether you’re new to painting or have some experience\, you’ll feel right at home. Local artists Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz guide you step by step\, offering tips and encouragement while leaving room for your personal style. \nBy the end of the evening\, you’ll head home with your own lighthouse painting – a peaceful reminder of a night well spent. \n \n  \nOf course\, no Palette & Pours night would be complete without a glass in hand. All painting materials are included\, along with complimentary wine to enjoy while you work. Prefer something else? Bring your favorite beverage and sip as you create. \nSo grab a friend\, bring a date\, or come solo and make new connections. Either way\, you’ll leave with more than just a painting – you’ll walk away with memories\, laughter\, and maybe even a brand-new hobby. \n*All wine will be included. Guests are also welcome to bring their own if they would like!
