DIY options without an overwhelming catalog
You do not need to choose from hundreds of paintings or know exactly which supplies to order.
​
Tell me who will be painting, approximately how many kits you need and when you need them. I’ll follow up with available project options and help you choose a practical fit.
​
DIY kits and party packs are currently prepared by request rather than stocked for immediate online purchase.
​
That means you receive a more relevant group of choices without having to sort through projects that may not work for your ages, group size or timeframe.
