The story
Cork & Chroma sits at the juncture of creativity and fun: where painting meets music, wine, and your favourite people. So much fun! No experience needed! BYO favourite beverage, and we'll look after the rest. We provide all the arty stuff – which is usually a 40 x 50cm canvas (yours to take home), paint, brushes, palette, easel, and apron. Our artists guide you through your session's painting, step by step. We have glassware for your BYO drinks, a fridge with cold tap water, and a self serve tea bar. While our artist will lead steps for only one painting per session, we love to see where your imagination takes you.
