Paint And Sip Studio at Painting With A Twist Queens

About this space

Painting with a Twist in Queens is a lively, beginner-friendly paint-and-sip studio located in the Forest Hills neighborhood. It balances structured, step-by-step art guidance with an energetic, party-like social atmosphere.
The Studio Atmosphere is Social and Energetic: The environment focuses heavily on fun rather than fine art technique. Instructors function as "artist-entertainers" who play music, tell jokes, and sometimes initiate group dancing or singing.
No Experience Required: Classes cater directly to beginners. An instructor on stage walks the room through the designated painting of the day stroke-by-stroke, while floor assistants offer one-on-one tips.
Community-Centric: The studio is locally owned and known for highly personable, attentive staff who cultivate a welcoming neighborhood hangout vibe.
Food and Snacks: Guests are welcome to bring their own snacks, finger foods, and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy while painting.
Punctuality: Events start exactly on time. The studio requests that guests arrive 15–20 minutes early to sign in, grab an apron, and settle at their stations. Late arrivals may not be able to finish their paintings.
Types of Classes & Offerings
Themed Public Classes: The studio calendar features varied themes like Date Nights, Girls' Night Out, Trivia Nights, and Paint Your Pet events. Adult sessions generally run for 2 to 3 hours.
All-Ages Options: Dedicated Family Days and daytime kid-centric classes (ages 8 and up) last around 1.5 hours.
Pop In & Paint: If you prefer a self-paced, freestyle DIY experience over a structured group class, you can stop by during designated daytime "Pop In" hours. You can select canvas art or even make custom scented candles using written instructions.
Private Parties: The space can be reserved for private celebrations like bachelorette parties, birthdays, or corporate team building.
