Art nights that come to your favorite places

We bring kintsugi and mixed media art workshops to local wineries, breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants. Sip something you love, make something beautiful, take it home the same night.

✨ Open to everyone. Kids welcome alongside an adult

Two workshops, endless takes

Every session includes all materials and step-by-step guidance. You just show up. Sessions run about two hours, and everyone leaves with a finished piece.

The idea behind The Pop-Up Palette

Hi, I'm Purnima. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, where the cracks become the most beautiful part. I fell in love with that idea and made it my own. Instead of pottery and lacquer, I work in cut fabric and gold foil. I call this style “Gilded Fabric Kintsugi”. You won't find it taught anywhere else, and it's the heart of The Pop-Up Palette.

Instead of asking you to come to a studio, I bring the studio to the places you already love. Good food, good company, and something golden to take home, whether you're eight or eighty.

All ages welcome All materials included No experience needed Local venues, local makers
