1.5 hours Location Hayes Valley Class size 1 to 24 (public classes), 6 to 30   $90 - $105 (Earlybird price of $90 applies if you book into a public session 5+ days ahead)

Create your own colorful, textured artwork in this Yayoi Kusama-inspired Dots Painting workshop at our art studio in San Francisco. Explore a playful way to create decorative paintings using color, repetition, texture, and ready-made dots. Choose a canvas or wooden circle as your base, then create your design with paint and flat round elements in different sizes and textures.
Your instructor will guide you step by step, from your first idea to the finished artwork. You can paint your own dots, use our collection of pre-made elements, or combine both to create layers, patterns, and texture. Experiment with different combinations and add your own personal touches as your artwork comes together. No prior experience is necessary, so beginners are very welcome.
Looking for a fun evening activity in San Francisco? This paint-and-sip workshop is a great choice for a date night, an evening with friends, birthdays, small groups, or other celebrations. Enjoy a relaxed, creative atmosphere, have a drink, and share the experience with friends or others in the studio. When different art classes are happening at the same time, you can also see what other artists are creating and get inspired by different approaches.
Most importantly, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind decorative painting made by you, something you can take home and display. Come experiment with dots, colors, and textures, discover what catches your eye, and enjoy a creative night at our SF art studio.
At Alive Space, we may have other classes happening at the same time, so you might see other students creating different types of artwork alongside you. It’s part of the studio's lively, creative atmosphere.

  • 5/5 from Vera B., attended Sep 2026: Great workshop idea! I really enjoyed making my art work. It made completely different from the other participants' works, but it reflects my own understanding of life. Highly recommend the instructor and studio.
  • 5/5 from Irin Po, attended Sep 2026: What a unique workshop! It was completely new for me to make a decorative dot art piece. I was so into the process that I forgot the time was running out. The teacher was kind enough to give me a little extra time. I also learned some great things from it. What a fun nite to be creative!.

Experience over things!
The Alive Space is our family-run art studio, founded by professional artists Lena and Alisa Karin. We are experts in mixed-media painting. Our space is perfect for art classes, creative celebrations, and team-building art workshops. There are over 20 classes with a wide range of skills.
Here you can leave the digital or daily grind behind and enter the world of creativity.
Most of our classes are related to the cultures of the different countries we have traveled to while studying art. Any class’s mixed media format enables everyone to find their creative genius.
The studio offers educational programs for club membership, workshops on unusual techniques, and Sip-&-Paint parties. We have been doing group classes and team-building events for many years, developing many different formats: from group paintings to individual masterpieces. Furthermore, we have open studio hours where you can come and paint for yourself without a teacher with all the materials.
We are supportive of different ideas and always come up with interesting new activities so that you can come to us again and again. Thank you for reading. Use promo code THEEND for 5% off.
