On a warm Friday evening in Paia, Maui, the Sip and Paint Acrylic Class at 24 Luna Place, 2A, offers a different kind of shoreline ritual: paintbrushes instead of reef-safe sunscreen. This BYOB Friday Night Paint Class runs from 6–8 PM on the 4th Friday of each month and is open to anyone age 6 and up. With step‑by‑step instruction, acrylic materials, and a relaxed, laugh-friendly atmosphere, the session turns first-timers into proud creators over two focused hours.
The studio sits above a massage salon—up a short flight of 15 stairs with handrails—just off Paia’s main strip. Paia’s wind‑blown, surf‑town energy edges the experience: think tropical flowers, reef rimmed beaches, and the occasional whale-tail motif carried into the canvases you make. Upcoming themes include Whale Tail (3/27), Tropical Flowers (4/24), and Surfboard Art (5/29), tying paintings to the island’s marine life and surf culture. Guests are encouraged to bring small mementos—sand, shells, or pressed flowers—to personalize their piece.
Practical logistics are simple and visitor-friendly. Check in 10 minutes before class at 24 Luna Place, 2A, Paia, HI, 96779 (turn into the parking lot). Free street parking is available and there are a couple of city parking lots near Mana Foods and by the Shell gas station; a paid lot sits at the studio address. The host, Yulia, can be reached at 7863498210 for questions. Wear “color friendly” clothing and expect acrylics to be a little messy.
Because the classes draw locals and visitors alike, you get a mix of island perspectives in one room — surfers swapping reef tips between brush strokes, visiting families introducing kids to color, and residents decompressing after a day of guiding or hospitality work. The compact class size keeps instruction personal, so even novices get tailored help. Pieces dry quickly in Maui’s warm, low‑humidity air, so you’ll usually leave with a mostly dry canvas that travels home easily and laughter.
What makes this class stand out is how it borrows the island’s sense of play and channels it into a compact, social creative session. It’s an ideal date night, girls’ night, or solo recharge for travelers who spent the day on the north shore chasing wind or snorkeling reefs and want a low‑effort, high‑satisfaction evening activity. The BYOB element keeps the vibe casual, while the guided format ensures every guest leaves with a finished canvas and a story.
Accessibility notes: the studio is upstairs, so plan for the 15 stairs with handrails. The experience is intentionally low‑tech—no prior skills needed—but leaves room for personal expression. If you’re in Paia and want an alternative to ocean time, this class converts island inspiration into something you can hang on a wall and take home as a tangible memory.
Participants must be age 6 and up; younger children should be accompanied by an adult.
No experience is required—classes use step-by-step instruction so beginners can complete a finished piece.
