I have a question about a paint kit. Who do I contact?
Please email us at info@paintawayevents.com with details of your enquiry, and we’ll get back to you.
Do we have to copy the painting exactly, or can we be creative?

Every guest’s painting turns out unique, and that’s part of the fun—you’ll be amazed at how different they all look by the end.
