How do you set up a private event?

  1. First have the POC for your group event fill out the private class form below with the following information about your event (or email melissa@blumoonartstudio.com) so your details can be checked for availability:

    • Choose a day for your class.

    • Choose a start time for your class (teacher in MDT timezone).

    • Choose a design from the Painting Gallery (1.5/2 hr classes + 3 hour classes) or Decorating Gallery (1-2 hr cookie + 3 hour cake classes).

    • Choose how many people you would like to attend (minimum of 10 tickets purchased to book a private class).

  2. Pricing can be dependant on how many are attending, the type of class you choose, and if class is virtual or in person.

    After verifying your class information with Melissa, you will receive a quote for the class and a timeframe to book.

  3. A retainer fee equaling 10 seats and/or full payment is required to block off your date on the class calendar. Parties are not reserved until the retainer is paid.

  4. If choosing virtual outside of the El Paso area, to get your materials, you will:

    • Purchase/deliver the appropriate supplies to your guests

    • Or instruct them on what to have on hand for class, based on the provided class supply list

  5. All guest tickets must be paid for in full, at least 48 hours in advance of your party day/time.

  6. Melissa will provide a private Zoom Room link for your party, if virtual.

    If in-person, the POC of your group will need to select and book an appropriate venue with adequate seating and tables for guests to sit and create comfortably with at least 2 feet of usable table space per person. Blu Moon can come to a home, office, public space, etc, with adequate lighting, indoors, and quiet enough for students to hear the steps as we go through the project.

  7. We will meet in Zoom for class (if virtual) or at your chosen venue (with a 1 hour buffer before and after class times for set up and clean up). The class will be offered step-by-step and personalized for your guests, and may run over time depending on the class speed.

  8. You are welcome to request up to 30 minutes of extra time before, during , or after the class, to interact with your guests. You may also interact during the setup and clean-up times as long as the instructor has access to the creative class area and can set up and clean up appropriately.

  9. We will take in-progress photos, a class picture at the end, and I can help anyone with residual questions about their projects.

Our main goal with any class is to be present, kind, and gentle as we guide you through the steps of creation. We hope that each person leaves with some new skills and a creation they are proud to show off.


I attended one of the painting classes and was made to feel very comfortable. I am not overly creative and shy away from things that put me out of my comfort zone. I was given fun, yet supportive, assistance and encouraged through the class. I can’t wait to go to another!

Both my 5 year old son and 10 year old daughter have taken classes with Melissa. They love painting with her and their paintings are amazing. Melissa teaches them so much in the classes. I am so excited to take a class with her soon!
