Christmas Santa Paint Night with Bobette Hintzman

Paint a Little Christmas Magic at The Mariner

There is something special about creating something with your own hands during the holiday season.

On Friday, November 13, Riverside Gypsy welcomes Bobette Hintzman to the historic stage at The Mariner for a cozy Christmas painting night filled with creativity, connection, and plenty of holiday spirit.

Together, you will create the cheerful Santa shown in our event image, complete with his bright red hat, fluffy white beard, holly, and Christmas gift.

And when the evening is over, the painting goes home with you.

You Do Not Need to Be an Artist

This experience is designed for people of all comfort levels.

Bobette will guide you through the painting process while you work at your own pace.

Some guests may finish more quickly. Others may want extra time for details.

The class generally takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on your pace and comfort level.

There is no pressure to make your Santa look exactly like anyone else's.

That is part of the fun.

By the end of the evening, twelve blank canvases will have become twelve completely individual Christmas creations.
