A delightfully spooky twist on Creative Pairings: Art Nights for Grown-Ups
Looking for a creative way to spend Halloween night? Grab a partner—or come solo—and join us for Date Night Etching: Build-a-Body, a hands-on printmaking workshop with a haunted twist. Each participant will etch a different body part (think heads, hands, feet, torsos) using beginner-friendly techniques. Then, like a ghoulish game of mix-and-match, we’ll assemble everyone’s prints into one giant, collaborative monster creation.
You’ll leave with your own eerie original print and a photo of the final creature. Costumes are encouraged, and so is your sense of humor.
Part of our Creative Pairings series, this special Halloween session invites grown-ups to unwind, connect, and make something memorable—over wine, beer, and festive bites in our welcoming studio.
Ages 21+ | Wine, beer, and refreshments included Tuition is per person; all adults attending must register individually. No experience needed—just bring your spooky spirit and a love for the unexpected. *Please let us know about any dietary needs at least a week before the event. We may not be able to accommodate requests shared after that time.
