My Favorite Paint Party Supplies

Over the years I’ve hosted countless paint parties, workshops, fundraisers, and creative events. People often ask me what supplies I use, so I created this page to share some of my favorites.

These are products I personally use, have used in the past, or recommend based on my experience running paint parties and creative events.

I’ve tried to include affordable, beginner-friendly options that help make hosting paint parties easier and more enjoyable.
