Editors Note: This piece has been updated as of May 6th, 5.39pm to reflect changes made known to us.
Art classes were once reserved only for our childhood memories of sitting in an enclosed room filled with acrylic paint fumes. Now, it’s become an activity that adults and children can enjoy together. Or even a group of adults sipping on some wine while painting a starry night sky.
Best part of all, you don’t even need to have the skills of an artist to join in on the fun! Here are 8 art studios you can head over to paint your worries away. 🙂
Note: Prices stated are based on their lowest price per single class available on their website. Some organisers offer discounts if you sign up for more than 1 class too. Hence, make sure to check out their page for more deets.
1. Art & Bonding
Art & Bonding offers a few services such as Art Jamming for the free spirited and adventurous artist, art and craft workshops for both kids and adults, and family bonding services.
But their Sip & Paint Night has got to be the activity that caught our eye. Happening every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8pm-11pm, they offer different artworks to paint in each session. There are even different themes such as the Sip & Paint Date Night and Sip & Paint Night: NEON Paint Party for a different kind of experience.
And don’t worry about being too drunk to paint, an artist will be there to guide you through the process!

At Cratze Art, they believe that art is bound by no rules and that everyone can become a Picasso. Hence, their art sessions are a little more out of the ordinary.
