Settle into the cozy glow of The BAG and spend an evening painting a festive Christmas still life with local artist Hannah Hope Johnson. In this guided class, you’ll learn the basics of light and shadow while capturing the sparkle of a classic Christmas ornament.
No experience needed — just bring yourself and a willingness to play with paint. We’ll provide canvases, easels, brushes, and simple acrylics, and you’re welcome to bring your own preferred medium. Zephyr @ The BAG will have the kitchen and bar open for snacks, dinner, and drinks while you paint.
