Paint and Sip: Night at the Pumpkin Patch

Pinot's Palette is hosting a pumpkin-themed paint and sip on Friday, October 23, at their Short North studio in Columbus. The session runs from 4 PM to 6 PM, so it's an afternoon thing rather than a late night—the kind of window that works if you want to get something creative done before the evening really kicks in.

The painting is a cute pumpkin scene, and the twist is that you add your family name right into the piece. It's a DIY project, so you're the one doing the painting, and you walk away with a finished fall painting for your home. If you've never done a paint and sip before, the format is pretty straightforward: you follow along with an instructor, and the studio provides the supplies. You don't need to bring your own brushes or canvas, and you don't need any prior experience to make it work. The whole point is to just show up and paint.

Because you're adding your family name, it's the kind of thing that works as a small project to do with a partner or a friend, and it doubles as a piece of seasonal decor you can pull out every October. It's a low-stakes way to spend a Friday afternoon in the Short North, especially if you're already in the mood for fall.

The session is $35 per guest, and it runs from 4 PM to 6 PM on Friday, October 23, at Pinot's Palette Short North in Columbus.
