• You bring the people + some wine, and Painting with a Twist will bring you painting supplies + a fun instructor! Painting and drinking wine is the perfect way to bond with friends, relax, and unleash your creativity. If you and your friends are going out for a drink, you might as well do a little art, too, right!?

At Fragrance of Heaven, you can shop for scented candles OR you make a candle OF YOUR OWN! Call up your pals and make a trip over to Fragrance of Heaven for a “pouring party” where you can create your own custom scent.

Get Together and Get Active
