3D Winter Christmas Porch Leaners -

From 6:30pm until 9:00 pm

At VineGogh Wine Bar & Art Studio

45.00

Hey DIY Enthusiasts!

Are you ready to give those yawn-inducing, flat porch decorations a three-dimensional makeover?  It's time to upgrade from 'meh' to 'wow' with our 3D Porch Leaner Workshop!

You, in partnership with us and our cool laser and paints/tools, have the power to transform a plain, flat piece of painted wood into a porch masterpiece all while sipping wine (or soda if you prefer) and enjoying an evening out.  

And let's be honest, creating something with your own two hands beats buying a generic decoration any day. It's not just a porch leaner; it's a statement piece that says, "I'm crafty, I'm creative, and my porch has more personality than yours" (just kidding - sort of).  

Also, this is the last leaner workshop before Christmas and I only have 8 seats so register early and make your porch the envy of your block before time runs out. 

We'll see you Thursday, December 14th at 6:30pm!  Register below.  In the section where it says "any questions or comments" please let us know which leaner we can custom cut for you.  

 

This class is now full please check back for future events!

Candlelight Winter Wines & Wellness Event -

From 7:00 pm until 10:00pm

At VineGogh Wine Bar & Art Studio

20.00

Spend a warm, cozy evening with us sampling winter wines and delightful food pairings.  This evening is all about softness and reconnecting with our own soul as we enjoy a presentation by life coach Brandon from Sacred Groves (another Highland small business).  

At 7:30 pm Brandon will share uplifting insights and encouragement to embrace the lessons of the past year while looking towards a new year with renewed clarity, purpose and hope.  As the solstice approaches bringing long winter nights, it's a great time to pause and reflect.  

After the talk, feel free to spend the remainder of the evening enjoying wine & food, soft music, candlelight and conversation. Brandon will give all attendees a certificate for a free discovery session at Sacred Groves that you can book any time during 2024.  

Escape the clamor of loud, tension-filled parties and event spaces and join us for an evening where relaxation meets fun for a peaceful yet enjoyable experience.

Your ticket includes 3 wine samples, appetizers, and 10% off on all bottles if you want to take some home for holiday gifts.

At VineGogh Wine Bar & Art Studio

Join us for a fun, relaxing day of creativity on this rare "Sunday Fun Day" in our studio.  We only have 10 seats available but this project is truly unique.   **This event was originally scheduled for December 3rd and has been moved to Sunday December 17th**

We will paint and assemble this adorable birch wood gingerbread house box.  The roof is a lid that lifts up.  You can use it to store items if you wish (think cookies or candies) or put LED tealights in it for an adorable table top decor piece.  Also makes a great gift.  

If you want in person instruction we recommend early registration since we are only doing it for one day and only have 8 seats. 

Can't make the date? No worries, message us if you'd like to pick up a kit and build it yourself at home.  We'll give you a pdf file or printout with instructions.  Cost is the same whether you do a kit or the event.  Kits will be available for pickup December 17th.  Nick will cut all the pieces for everyone at the same time - and it's a lot of pieces! 🙂 

Your event ticket will include some food/wine samples - whatever we have available that day 🙂 You're also welcome to bring in outside snacks. 

Drinks of any type - alcoholic or non-alcoholic may not be brought into our studio from outside.  We appreciate everyone's cooperation and understanding. Drink sales allow us to keep our project prices affordable for everyone.  We offer coffee, tea, soda, water, cocoa, wine, and cocktails in studio. 

There are 5 places available.

      Our projects change seasonally, right now we have a variety of Christmas projects in addition to our regular projects – paintings, signs, door rounds, wood cutouts, interchangeables etc. The best thing to do is to come into our studio to see what is available or sign up for a workshop listed on our calendar.

    1. admin Post author

      We do classes in a variety of mediums. After the first of the year we plan to re-introduce watercolor. I am not sure the cost yet, but most of our classes are in the 25 to 35 price range and include all your materials.

    Is there an easier way to find your classes than to scroll thru everything? You used to have it on a calendar which was way easier to find stuff
    Thanks
