Yes. Chunky Blanket Making with Friends is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Joyce (Of Art!!) breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Chunky Blankets events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist based in Gatineau — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 69 out of 81 guests who've painted with Joyce (Of Art!!) say the instruction was amazing. GAIL C. said: 'Joyce's events are always lively and fun. I always learn something new from her teaching.'

Portage Orchard Pub & Grill is a local venue in Gatineau — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Chunky Blankets 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 14 upcoming events in Gatineau this month. You can view them here.

Your ticket to Chunky Blanket Making with Friends 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 Joyce (Of Art!!). Drinks and food are ordered separately from Portage Orchard Pub & Grill — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Portage Orchard Pub & Grill's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Joyce (Of Art!!) starts the painting.

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Chunky Blankets event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Chunky Blankets cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
