In-person paint parties offer a variety of mediums to explore, including canvas, wood, ceramics, door hangers, and even wine glasses. The TikTok trend of couples painting each other has brought a new level of creativity to these gatherings, and baby shower paint nights are becoming increasingly popular as well.

My journey with paint parties began as a form of healing after experiencing bankruptcy and losing everything. Through perseverance and a love for art, I turned my passion into a successful business. I remember the moment when everything changed, and I realized that entrepreneurship was not only possible but also incredibly rewarding.
