Question 1

Is Paint at MALT Barrel & Fire good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paint at MALT Barrel & Fire is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Sarah 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. Sarah is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Malt Barrel & Fire Queenswood, 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 Sarah like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Sarah is a real local artist based in Pretoria — 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. Liesl P. said: 'Amazing host and beautiful venue with awesome service and food. Thank you Sarah and Emma for a beautiful, fun filled evening.'

Question 4

What's Malt Barrel & Fire Queenswood like?

Accepted Answer

Malt Barrel & Fire Queenswood is a local venue in Pretoria — 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 Pretoria?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 12 upcoming events in Pretoria 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 Pretoria, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 7

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Paint at MALT Barrel & Fire 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 Sarah. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Malt Barrel & Fire Queenswood — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is Paint at MALT Barrel & Fire?

Accepted Answer

Malt Barrel & Fire Queenswood's event starts at 2:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 1:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Sarah starts the painting.

Question 9

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

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.
