January 2nd from 10am to 1pm - 350 Riverside Ave, Bristol, CT 06010
Come earn a stamp (and discount) with CT Kids Passport! Enter our splatter painting room, where you can throw, drip, smear, and fling paint at a canvas!
THIS PURCHASE IS FOR RESERVING TIME IN A SPLATTER PAINTING ROOM.
Reservation Fee: THIS PURCHASE OF $26 IS A RESERVATION FEE TO HOLD YOUR CHOSEN TIME SLOT FOR YOUR ENTIRE PARTY. Your full experience (individual entry fees and items to paint) will be charged at our studio and this reservation fee will be deducted from your total in-studio purchase.
Entry Fee: A per-person entry fee of $26 will be charged when you arrive at our studio and grants access to the splatter painting room full of paint and bushes as well as a "care package" that includes protective gear like a plastic poncho, gloves, and shoe coverings to ensure you stay clean while having fun.
Duration: After a brief orientation, you'll enter the splatter room. Each splatter painting session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time for onboarding and preparation.
Additional Information: Group Sessions: Your group will have a private space to splatter in - no sharing a room with strangers! For groups larger than six, please contact us so we can make sure you have all the time and space needed to have the best time! Age
Recommendations: We recommend the splatter room for artists aged 5 and up. Kids younger than 5 can also enjoy splattering at the discretion of their guardians as they may require more "hands-on" assistance from their grown-ups to enjoy the experience. All children under age 13 MUST be accompanied by an adult inside the splatter room.
Attire: Although we provide protective gear, we recommend wearing clothing you don't mind getting paint on. Our acrylic paints may not wash out of fabric. Your completed painting goes home with you in a box.
