DetailsJoin Jen Barratt, founder of Gaudy Giggles Paint Parties, for a fun and relaxing paint and sip evening at Lavender Hill Farm. Bring your bestie or the whole family to discover, unlock, or revive your inner artist!
Want to change something with the painting? Different color, different objects, I will help you work through ideas and make changes to match your style and make it YOUR painting! No experience necessary, beginners are welcome!
All supplies provided including paint, brushes, canvas, smocks, and step-by-step instruction to paint your very own beautiful masterpiece to give as a gift to family or friends, or to decorate your wall at home.
Please wear something comfortable and not too fancy as things can get messy.
Guests are welcome to BYO food and drink or purchase a beverage or snack from the Farmhouse Boutique.
This workshop is $20-$45. Ages 3 and over.
Doors open at 6:00pm and we start painting at 6:15pm sharp. Everyone paints at different speeds, class is usually over by 8:30 or earlier, (kids paint much faster).
Tickets can be purchased online or at the farm and pre-registration is required. Tickets are available for purchase up until 48 hours prior or until sold out.

About the Instructor
My name is Jen, and I was born and raised in Charlevoix. I have never considered myself an artist- I have always loved art, but never thought I had the skill set to create beautiful work. My brother was an awesome artist and could draw anything. I was always so envious of his talents.
In college, I had to take one art class as part of the General Education Program. I took Photography, because I thought anyone can take a picture and it’s a good life skill. I loved being in the art department, I found myself doing my homework in the halls because I loved the smell of all the art supplies. My photography professor saw my interest in art and pushed me into more classes; I resisted. Turns out I did have a talent for art- I just needed guidance. It wasn’t something I could just do, I needed support and direction. With a little help, I was off and running and ended up taking so many art classes that I left college with a double minor in art.
Even with my degree I still never dove into painting, it was my last fear of art I needed to conquer. About 3 years ago, I took a leap toward overcoming that last fear and I took a painting class. I picked up a brush and haven’t put it down since. I thoroughly enjoy watching people work through their hesitation or fear of picking up that brush and realizing they just painted something amazing.
