Walk-In Activities

During our walk-in hours, The Color House is open to the public for walk-in creative activities. Walk-ins are first come first serve or reservations can be made online. Creative sessions are self-led but we are always available for questions as you work on your piece. You select what you'd like to make and we will provide all of the materials you need to create a masterpiece. Prices range based on the project you select. Reservations are not required but are recommended and please note that we close 1 hour early on days there are no remaining customers. Plan to give yourself at least 1 hour to work on your project.
