We bring the art studio to you.

Mobile paint workshops for senior communities, schools, workplaces, and private parties. We bring every supply, teach step by step, and clean up after. Everyone leaves with a finished painting.

Serving University City, UTC, La Jolla, and surrounding San Diego communities.

How it works

  1. Choose a painting

    Select from our portfolio of seasonal landscapes, vibrant florals, or classic coastal themes.

  2. We set up

    We arrive early and turn your room into a clean, professional art studio.

  3. Two hours of painting

    Your group follows along step by step at a comfortable pace. No experience needed.

  4. Spotless cleanup

    We pack up everything and leave your space exactly how we found it.

Every workshop includes stretched canvases, premium non-toxic acrylic paints, easels, brushes, aprons, and table covers. Your staff does not have to lift a finger.

About Salt & Paint

Most people sit down at a Salt & Paint table and say the same thing: "I can't paint." Two hours later, they are holding a finished canvas they did not think they could make.

That moment is why we do this. It was never about skill. It is about the experience, and about accomplishing something you did not think was possible. Like anything in life, a good process lets you do what you otherwise could not. We bring the process. You bring yourself.

Paint.

Pick up a brush, even if it has been decades. Every step is guided, and no one gets left behind.

Create.

Go home with something that did not exist that morning, made with your own hands.

Connect.

Paint beside neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and friends. The laughter around the table matters as much as what is on the canvas.

Salt & Paint by Stowers was founded in San Diego by Shauna Stowers, an art instructor with years of private teaching experience.
