The Paint & Wine Business Seminar

Training paint & sip staff  in Maryland, July 2013
I've been teaching seminars in the "art & business" for fourteen years now and it's one of the most rewarding things I do at "The Paint & Wine Studio". We've been lucky enough to have people attend from all over the United States. The "clients", as I call them, come for a variety of different reasons. Some want to go full force with their own "sip and paint" business, others want to see if they're cut out for the business or if it meets their expectations, and then there are the ones who see it as a great opportunity to get away and become completely surrounded in the dynamic art atmosphere that we offer, hence -- "The Paint & Wine Studio's Seminar".

The feedback throughout the years has been tremendous. I've been blessed with great compliments, at the same time I've heard all of the horror stories of people traveling far and wide to a "business seminar" only to be bored by a very dry delivery of lacking substance, accompanied by terrible food.

My goal with seminars is to be anything but dry and boring, to strip the information to its essential and "easy to remember" bare bones and reiterate it several times, so it's learned. We get "face time", working with our hands and minds, the clock ticks away and it's a constant, energy-filled race to hold times and fit all of your paintings and questions in. You become part of the team, I don't know where else in the world you can simply walk into a business and learn the ropes in an onsite crash course like this.

My job is to not only to share information but to raise your confidence with a "can do" attitude. The client leaves tired yet "supercharged" about their opportunities in the paint and wine industry. They know the minimum required to successfully operate a sip and paint business and have taken part in that first hand. They can literally, at that moment, walk into any studio, anywhere, and know what the business focus and operations should be.

It's three days and two nights of excitement and dynamic energy in Houston, Texas. I also take the business seminar "on the road" as I did in Baltimore, Maryland, last year, training the local instructors during the day and holding the Grand Opening at night, with a chosen instructor teaching on the 2nd night, with my assistance.

If you want to experience the industry before making major investments, or if you're dead-set on owning and operating a sip and paint business, you can read more details about the "Total Immersion" seminar at this link.
