June 28th - Lavender Fields! is a two-hour guided painting evening at the Omaha studio, located at 200 S. 31st Ave Suite 4104, Omaha, NE 68131. This sip-and-paint session invites visitors to uncork creativity with step-by-step instruction, all materials provided, and a menu of wine, beer, mixed drinks, and non-alcoholic options. The class transforms a city studio into a miniature lavender field through a curated palette of purples, indigos, and soft greens, offering a sensory contrast to Nebraska’s broad skies and flat horizons.
Arrive as a beginner and leave with a finished wooden board painting. The instructor-led curriculum breaks the composition into manageable stages: base washes to set tone, block-in of stems and flower masses, mid-tone layering to build depth, and final highlights that catch the light. Boards are prepped for paint and resist warping, giving beginners a forgiving surface to practice strokes and blending. Brushes, paints, aprons, and full instruction are provided, so students can focus on learning rather than logistics.
What sets this class apart is its blend of craft instruction and local social culture. Omaha’s creative scene favors approachable, human-scale arts experiences, and this studio mirrors that ethos by pairing guided teaching with a relaxed bar service. Sipping a modest glass of wine while you work softens the first-brush jitters and encourages conversation with neighbors, date partners, or solo travelers. The Lavender Fields theme translates botanical shapes into broad, painterly gestures, making floral imagery accessible even to those convinced they can't paint.

This activity makes a fine alternative to the city’s more conventional outings—museums, riverfront walks, and brewpub tours—because it returns a souvenir you helped create. It’s ideal for couples celebrating, friends looking for a low-pressure night out, and travelers seeking an inside look at Omaha’s creative life. Bring curiosity, comfortable clothes you don’t mind spotting with paint, and an appetite for color; the rest is supplied. By the end of the evening you’ll have a finished piece, a new technique or two, and a memory that stays on your wall. Reservations are made through the booking link and sessions often fill on weekends and civic holidays, so reserve your seat early, arrive fifteen minutes beforehand to settle in, and plan to take public transit or short-term parking for convenience.
