Why Pinot & Picasso?
About our company:
Founders, James Crowe and Aaron Carrasco, are two high-school friends who started Pinot & Picasso as one small studio in their hometown Penrith, Australia. While both of the lads aren’t artists, they do know how to have a good time – and that is what they have created for you in our sessions.
At Pinot & Picasso, we encourage you to Master the Art of Fun and just like our sessions, there’s no talent necessary when it comes to having FUN. Our paint and sips are the ideal entertaining activity for weekend plans, girls night out, date nights, hen dos, birthdays, team-building sessions, anniversaries, reunions… the list goes on. We get arty while we party and invite guests to come solo, together or meet someone new to sip, dip, splash, slosh.
With the help of our wonderful Picasso’s, the exponential growth of the Pinot & Picasso franchise has allowed the brand to grow internationally in just three years and now here we are in an old London town!

What Pinot & Picasso’s Instructors Have to Say:
“I love walking into the studio, every session is so fun and unique with a different style of painting and a new group of friends to teach! I’ve grown so much as a person and as an artist in this role and I just love spreading positivity and encouragement to all our guests. It fills me with so much joy seeing the creativity and good vibes all around the room as they paint, dance, sip and sing the night away!” – Lola.
FAQ:
Do I need to provide my own art supplies?
We totally have you covered, including your clothes! Our chic Pinot and Picasso aprons and branded shirts will have you looking like a master instructor. All paint supplies, tools and materials are provided in the studio.
What is the time commitment required for paint and sip instructors?
Paint and sip classes vary in duration depending on the painting. We’ll need you in the studio early to ensure everything is ready to welcome our Picasso’s, as well as extra time at the end of a session to pack up. You can expect an average shift to be between approximately 3-4.5 hours.
What kind of painting styles or techniques will I be teaching?
You will be instructing with acrylic paint, with a little drawing involved on occasion. Our artwork gallery is inspired by a range of styles from Picasso’s Cubism to Van Gogh’s Impressionism. Many of our paintings use similar painting techniques which you will learn all about through training and artwork instructions that guide and support you to host with confidence.
Are there opportunities for advancement or growth within Pinot & Picasso?
Get ready for some serious artistic and personal growth as every session expands your experience and enhances your skills and knowledge over a range of industries from art, hospitality, events and social media.
Will I have the freedom to choose the paintings for each session?
Each session has a pre-allocated painting to teach step by step but you will have a chance to let your creative wings fly free with some of our specialty artworks that are more personalised to each guest.
