Paint and Sip: Pile of Fall Pumpkins

Pinot's Palette is hosting Paint and Sip: Pile of Fall Pumpkins on Saturday, October 17, at their Short North studio in Columbus. The painting is exactly what the title says: a decorative pile of pumpkins and flowers. It's a seasonal piece that fits right in with the October vibe, and you'll leave with a finished canvas to take home.

If you've never done a paint-and-sip before, the format is pretty straightforward. You get a drink from the full bar and follow along with an artist guide who walks you through the painting step-by-step. You don't need any painting experience to get through it, and all the supplies are included, so you just show up and start. The studio is set up for a few different kinds of nights—corporate parties, date nights, girls' nights out, family fun, and fundraisers—so it works whether you're coming with a group or just bringing a friend.

There's also an optional add-on called the DIY Candle Experience. If you go for it, you arrive 30 minutes early to pour your own custom-scented soy candle, which gives you something to do while you wait for the painting to start. Between the drink, the painting, and the candle, it's a full evening's worth of activity in one spot.

Pinot's Palette Short North is located in the heart of the Short North, so it's easy to pair this with dinner or drinks nearby before or after. The painting happens Saturday, October 17, at the studio in Columbus, OH 43215.
