Question 1

Is Aurora Borealis Ceramic Coffee Mugs Paint and Sip  good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aurora Borealis Ceramic Coffee Mugs Paint and Sip  is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Ryan 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: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Ryan is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Irish Wolfhound Restaurant & Pub, 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.

Question 3

What's Ryan like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Ryan is a real local artist based in SURPRISE — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 8 out of 10 guests who've painted with Ryan say the instruction was amazing.  . said: 'Ryan is by far the best Paint Nite instructor. He is great at explaining which brushes to use and how to use them. He’s very calm but funny at the same time. Half of my experience is painting and the...'

Question 4

What's Irish Wolfhound Restaurant & Pub like?

Accepted Answer

Irish Wolfhound Restaurant & Pub is a local venue in SURPRISE — 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.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in SURPRISE?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 4 upcoming events in SURPRISE this month.

Question 6

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

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 SURPRISE, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Aurora Borealis Ceramic Coffee Mugs Paint and Sip  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 Ryan. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Irish Wolfhound Restaurant & Pub — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
