Spend 90 minutes painting with gouache in a bright, female‑founded studio in Savannah’s Starland District. This guided, BYOB‑friendly workshop pairs hands‑on instruction with local tips and a short walkable route through an emerging arts neighborhood.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb the narrow stairs of a candy‑colored house above a corner shop, the door on the ground floor marked by an ice cream sign. Upstairs, natural light spills across worktables; brushes stand like tiny sentries and jars of water catch the afternoon’s glow. In Dreamhouse Studios, the city hums outside while you mix a color that feels like Savannah itself — humid, green, and a little salty.

BYOB if you like bubbly
Sparkling wine is provided but you can bring your own beverage—pack it in a spill‑proof container and avoid glass if you’ll be walking in the neighborhood.
Enter through Starland Strange
The studio is upstairs above the shop; look for the ice cream sign downstairs and allow a few extra minutes to find the entrance.
Bring a flat carrier for wet work
Gouache can remain tacky; bring a thin portfolio, folder, or cardboard to keep your piece flat while it dries.
Wear paint‑friendly clothing
Gouache can stain fabrics—choose an old shirt or apron and avoid loose jewelry that can dip into paint.
