FAQs
“Frequently Asked Questions:”
What is a class like?
The classes are a fun and laid back group setting where an instructor will guide you step-by-step replicating the featured painting or craft project. Absolutely no experience is necessary! We play some great music and have lots of fun! There is plenty of time to socialize. Class length varies depending on the project, but most can be done in under an hour. We schedule 2 hours, so everyone can relax and not feel rushed. You are welcome to leave when your project is complete. You do not have to stay the entire time.
Do I need to sign up in advance?
That depends! For scheduled classes, yes. There is limited seating, so we highly recommend signing up in advance. The easiest way to register is through our website calendar and pay online prior to the event. If a class is sold out, you can be added to a wait list.
No need to sign up in advance for walk-in open crafting hours (days and times will show on our Calendar). You will pick out your project and pay in person when you arrive. We accept credit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo and cash (exact amount is appreciated). If you are coming with a number of people, you may want to let us know in advance (email [email protected]) so we can reserve a table for you all to sit together.
What is the cost?
The class prices vary depending on the art project and range from $15 - $140 including all supplies. Follow our Facebook page for occasional promotion and coupon deals.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes! We offer gift certificates. You can purchase those on our website or you can stop in at the studio any time we are open to purchase them as well.
What should I wear?
We recommend wearing something you wouldn’t mind getting paint on- just in case! We use acrylic paints that can stain clothing but washes off hands easily. Be sure to leave nice jackets and purses at home as Arts & Carafes cannot be responsible for any paint stains or damage.
Can I bring in food and drinks?
Yes, you can bring in light snacks and beverages to nibble and sip while you craft. Please bring plates, utensils and napkins you may need with you.
Can I bring in my own wine?
Yes, you can BYOB if you are 21+ with a valid ID. You may bring wine, beer, or prosecco with you. Please bring an opener and any cups or glasses you may need with you.
Is there anywhere nearby to grab dinner or a drink?
Yes! The Den, Knockout Pizza and the Red Nun are a short walk from our studio and offer many tasty treats and luscious libations. Main St Dennis Port has gone through a revitalization with many interesting shops and artists. Come check out all our creative awesome neighbors!
What time do I need to arrive for a class?
Doors open 15 minutes prior to scheduled start time. We try to start our classes promptly, so please be courteous by not arriving late.
Where should I park?
Most of our classes are in the evening or on weekends, there is limited street parking along one side of Main St, Dennis Port and several free public lots nearby.
What is your cancellation policy?
Sometimes classes are full, and we have a waiting list, so if you need to cancel, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice. Please email us to cancel. This enables us to give the next person on the waiting list ample time to make plans to join us. Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance to receive a full ticket refund. Cancellations made within 24 hours will receive a credit for a future event. No shows, people who do not contact us prior to an event, will not receive a refund or credit. Thank you in advance for your understanding with regard to this policy.
Do you ever cancel classes?
Sometimes unexpected events (like snow storms) pop up. We reserve the right to cancel classes for unforeseen circumstances. If we need to cancel a class, we alert customers as soon as possible, fully refund tickets and rescheduled the project to another date.
If I come with a friend or a group, can we all sit together?
We always try to seat friends and parties together. Please let us know (email [email protected]) if you wish to sit with someone and we can set that up before you arrive.

I missed a painting or craft that I really want to make. How often will you repeat?
