Yes, Back Mountain Makery is a licensed B.Y.O.B. establishment that hosts dedicated paint & sip sessions as well as flexible, casual options for a fun evening out with friends. The studio features a variety of ways to experience a paint and sip night:

🍷 Open Paint Fridays & Saturdays (Casual B.Y.O.B.)

• What it is: A relaxed, walk-in friendly event held every Friday & Saturday from 12:00PM to 8:00PM.
• How it works: You walk in, select a pre-fired ceramic piece, and paint at your own pace. Acrylic paints and topcoats are used, meaning no kiln or waiting is required — you take your piece home that day.
• The B.Y.O.B. Perk: Guests are welcome to bring along their favorite drinks and snacks.
• Pricing: There are no additional sitting, paint, or palette fees. You only pay the price marked on the ceramic piece, with many starting at $18.
• Tip: Seating is not guaranteed for walk-ins, so reservations are highly recommended by calling 570-468-2719.

🎨 Scheduled Paint & Sip Workshops

• Guided Classes: The studio regularly collaborates with local resident artists to host structured, step-by-step painting classes.
• Diverse Mediums: Instead of just standard canvases, these instructor-led workshops often feature unique surfaces like wood decor, live-edge wood pieces, and seasonal glassware.
• B.Y.O.B Policy: Alcoholic beverages are permitted for adults of legal age during these adult workshop hours.

🍾 Private Paint & Sip Parties

• If you want to host a private bachelorette party, girls’ night, or birthday, you can secure the studio room for a flat $50 fee plus the cost of the project per person.
• You can supply your own alcohol, drinks, and catering, and the guest of honor crafts for free.
