Christina – Owner & Artist - Art, Wellness, and Joy in Every Brushstroke Based in Southern California, I host events designed for all skill levels. Whether it's your first time painting or you're searching for something unique and different that goes beyond canvas painting. I offer a variety of creative options beyond traditional canvas painting such as wine glasses, wood signs, cutting boards, and tote bags. I also love blending art wellness where creativity is a relaxing experience.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Mystic Seahorse is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Christina paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Christina will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Christina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Grafted Cellars Winery & Restaurant, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Yes — Mystic Seahorse is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Claremont. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Christina is a real local artist based in Claremont — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Doraluz A. said: 'Lots of fun. Paint instructor interacts well with everyone'
Grafted Cellars Winery & Restaurant is a local venue in Claremont — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Yes — we have 15 upcoming events in Claremont this month. You can view them here.
Mystic Seahorse is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.
Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Claremont, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Mystic Seahorse includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Christina. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Grafted Cellars Winery & Restaurant — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Christina starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
