Lavender Paint Night in Heber City: Guided Farm Workshop with Hilarie Dunham

Lavender Paint Night 7/13 offers a low-stakes, creative evening at a working farm in Heber City, Utah. Set among rows of lavender and open fields, the event brings together locals and visitors for a guided painting session led by Hilarie Dunham. Whether you're new to acrylics or a steady weekend hobbyist, the workshop provides supplies, light refreshments, and a paced, encouraging lesson in color and composition. The session lasts about three hours and centers on a single, approachable canvas project chosen by Hilarie. Attendees receive all materials: canvas, brushes, paints, and aprons. Instruction is step-by-step, with time allocated for drying and shared feedback. The group size is intentionally small - about ten people - so you get personal attention without pressure. The setting is casual: a barn or outdoor table on the farm depending on weather, with summer light and the scent of lavender creating an easygoing atmosphere. This experience is a special part of Heber City's local arts and agritourism scene because it blends hands-on art with a real working landscape. Lavender is the defining natural element here: its pale purple blooms, aromatic oils, and pollinator life provide sensory context that shifts a studio class into a place-based event. For visitors exploring Heber City, this class is a gentle cultural stop between hikes, river trips, or scenic drives - an opportunity to slow down and take home a personal memento. Practical details: the class is open to adults 18 and over, and registration is required. Wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on, and prepare for variable weather if the group is seated outdoors. The farm is family-run; Hilarie's instruction and the small-group format make this a repeatedly popular offering. Light refreshments are included, so you can socialize and compare results once canvases dry. Why book it? It's an accessible creative break that complements outdoor adventure in the region - ideal for couples, friends, or solo travelers looking to connect with local makers. The combination of fresh air, floral scent, and guided art makes it distinctly different from a city studio class. If you want a handled, hospitable evening that results in a finished painting and new local connections, Lavender Paint Night 7/13 is an offbeat highlight of a Heber City visit. Plan to arrive twenty minutes early to claim a seat and settle in; parking is typically on gravel near the barn. The class welcomes beginners but moves at a steady pace - those with some prior painting experience will find extra time for personalization. Finished canvases travel easily in a roll or carry bag; consider bringing a flat box if you plan to protect wet paint on the drive home. Booking through the provided referral link secures your spot, and small-group dates often sell out. Book early.
