Private Parties
Private Party Options!
Book your own private paint-and-sip or crafting party at The Painted Cork on the Westside of Santa Cruz! Have the whole place to yourself for your birthday party, teambuilding outing, corporate event, bridal shower, holiday event, family get-together, or any other outing you can imagine! Pick a date and time and contact us for availability! Once we establish a date that works for both of us, you pick the painting or craft event that works best for your group, and then get ready for a FUN and creative event!
We require only 18 guests minimum to book a private event, and we can accommodate up to 80! Our prices for in-house private events run as follows: $45 per person for a 2-hour class, $50 per person for a 3-hour class, and $55 per person for a 4-hour class. Class hourly times (2,3, and 4 hours) are based on the painting selection.
Off-Site Parties and Events
If you want a paint-and-sip party at your home, restaurant, venue, winery, or special event, The Painted Cork will come to you! You may reserve an off-site private party any day of the week with a 20 painters minimum. Our offsite prices run as follows: $45 per person for a 2-hour class, $50 per person for a 3-hour class, and $55 per person for a 4-hour class. Class hourly times (2,3, and 4 hours) are based on the painting selection. The initial invoice is usually sent for the 2-hour rate until the painting is chosen. Any additional time needed for the party will be an extra $75 an hour or $40 for a half-hour. The 20-guest minimum deposit must be paid as soon as possible to reserve your date and time slot for the party! Additional guests may be paid for in a separate invoice, or if you know the exact number, we will send the first invoice for that amount to make things easier!
Your Private Painting Party will include all travel, set up for the class, and all art supplies such as easels, brushes, paints, aprons, table coverings, canvases, and 2-3 hours of professional art instruction, and all painting party clean up.
Please note that our professional instructor must be allowed at least 1.5-2 hours to arrive early and set up, and tables and chairs must be already present at the painting place. A sink is also needed for water bowls and minor clean-up.

VIRTUAL Parties and Events
Would you like to have a painting party held virtually? We can do that! Whether your group is just at the office, their individual homes or even out of state or out of country, virtual classes are always a hit for long distance and socially distanced fun!
The pandemic has pushed us into virtual classes to keep our staff and guests safe! We will continue to offer virtual classes and private parties as an ongoing option because so! What does this mean for you? You can now have a private eventat any location nationally and even globally! Guests may reserve a private party any day of the week with a 20 painters minimum. Our price is $45 per person for a 2 hour painting event and $50 for a 3 hour painting event. Fill out our party form below to get started!
We have a couple of VIRTUAL Party options!
The Works: 
Let us do all of the work! We can put together separate "home painting kits" for everyone in your group which will include everything needed for the virtual private party such as paintbrushes, paints, a pre-sketched image of your painting choice onto a 14x18, water bowls, disposable aprons, table coverings, palette plates, napkins and 2-3 hours of professional instruction with your private painting party via Zoom for a rate of $45-$50 per person and a 20 person minimum. You can either pick up these kits at our Santa Cruz location, OR you can have the kits shipped out to all your guests at a rate of $15.75 per kit for shipping anywhere in the state of California. Out of state and international shipping is available. The Home Painting Kits will come with everything you need for the virtual painting class with no extra fees or orders!
Flat Rate Special:
If your group has their own supplies, OR if you would like to purchase your own supplies directly from our supplier, we can charge a flat rate for the professional painting instruction for only $400 for a 2-3 hour step-by-step painting event. This option is more cost-effective than "The Works" and has no limit to how many guests join in! However, someone would have to be in charge of ordering and then passing out the supplies to those who need them. If you'd prefer the "flat rate" option, I can give you a more precise quote on supplies needed after you pick the painting choice. 🎨
If you would like to book either option, just let us know which one works best for you! If you select "The Works" we will send you an invoice for the 20 guest minimum for the home painting kits. Or if you choose the "flat rate", we will send you an invoice for the $400 painting instruction along with a link to our supplier and "class supply list".
You can pick your painting choice for your event from either one of our gallery of 2 or 3-hour classes. After the painting experience, we will gladly give someone in your group access as "host" and you can continue on with your party!
How to book a VIRTUAL private event
- Fill out the form below with as many details as you can regarding your request and if you would like "The Works" or the "Flat Rate Special".

- We will create a special link for your group and send it to the host to send out to the group.
