Sip & Gogh Celebrates 250-Freedom Eagle

Mark the nation’s 250th birthday with a themed painting class that focuses on a beloved symbol of freedom and pride. The class is structured to finish within the scheduled session, with a maximum length of three hours, and Kid’s Summer Canvas options run up to two hours. Advance payment in full secures a spot since availability is first come, first served, and multiple classes can be purchased in one transaction. Walk-ins may be accommodated, though an easel is only guaranteed with prepayment. Those wishing to pay by cash or check can arrange a time to visit Sip & Gogh Studio by calling (803) 236-1193, as regular operating hours are not maintained. If extra time is needed beyond the scheduled end, a late fee of $15 applies for each 15-minute increment, up to 45 minutes. Age guidelines for other offerings include evening classes that may include youth ages 14 and up with an adult, Saturday classes that welcome ages 8 and up with an adult, and Kid’s Summer Canvas classes for ages 6 and up. If plans change, contact 803.236.1193 before the class begins to transfer a reservation to a class of equal value within 30 days. Missed classes without prior notice are not eligible for refunds or transfers, the studio does not provide cash or credit refunds, and tickets cannot be resold. Updates and any changes are shared on Facebook and the studio website.

Workshops & Classes

Koi Pond

Settle in for a creative studio session focused on painting a beautiful koi pond. To secure a seat, pay in full ahead of time, since spots are allocated in the order payments are received. You can cover multiple classes at once by adjusting the quantity. Guests who drop by without reserving may be able to participate if space and easels are still available, but advance payment offers the best guarantee. If you would rather use cash or a check, call 803-236-1193 to arrange a visit to Sip & Gogh Studio, as the studio does not keep fixed public hours. Sessions run up to three hours, with Kid's Summer Canvas classes limited to two. Most painters finish within the allotted window. If extra time is needed and you choose to stay beyond the end time, an additional $15 applies for each 15 minutes, up to 45 minutes. Age guidelines vary by offering. Evening classes welcome kids 14 and older when accompanied by an adult. Saturday classes are open to kids 8 and older with an adult. Kid's Summer Canvas options are designed for ages 6 and up. If plans change, call 803.236.1193 before the session begins to move your reservation to another class of the same value within 30 days. Missed sessions without notice are not eligible for moves or refunds, and the studio does not issue cash or credit refunds, only transfers to other class options. Ticket resale is not permitted, and caution is advised regarding potential scams on Facebook. Updates about new classes and any schedule changes are shared on the Facebook page and website.
