Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

A creative night out suits a birthday with a small, close group, and Port Stephens has two quite different takes on it. One is a guided painting class with canvases and easels set out; the other is a working pottery studio where guests get their hands into clay.

Both suit a handful of guests around one table, so this is a choice for an intimate celebration rather than a big crowd.

How the two studios differ:

  • Raymond Terrace: a guided paint and sip night for five to eight guests, stretching to 12, from $55 per person, with drinks brought by the group
  • Tea Gardens: a pottery studio running clay evenings for adults for four to eight guests, from $85 per person
  • Kids' versions: themed art parties at the painting studio for ages five and up, and clay birthday parties at the pottery studio
  • The take-home: a finished canvas on the night, while clay pieces need firing in a kiln before they are ready

If the group wants something more active, browse activities, or see birthday party ideas around the bay.

Choosing between paint and clay

  • Painting suits a group who want to chat and sip while following step-by-step guidance
  • Clay is more hands-on and messier, which some groups love and others find too much for a dressy night
  • Ask what design or project is planned and whether you can request a theme
  • Check when fired pottery can be collected, as it will not go home on the night

Planning a birthday at a studio

  • Confirm the minimum and maximum group size before inviting people
  • Ask what food can be brought in and whether there is space for a cake
  • Wear clothes you do not mind marking, even with an apron supplied
  • For a kids' party, ask what age range the activity suits and how long it runs

Drinks and logistics

  • Check whether the studio is BYO and what glassware is provided
  • Agree on the start time and how long the room is yours
  • Ask about parking if guests are coming from around Port Stephens
