Are you the kind of creative who lights up a room and can paint?
We’re looking for vibrant, talented, outgoing artists to join our Champainting® team as Lead Instructors. Our artists are the stars of the show, guiding our guests through unforgettable paint and sip sessions.
Whether you're an artist with hosting experience or a performer with painting skills, this role is all about creating fun, feel-good vibes in a studio where wine flows and creativity glows.
What We’re Looking For
- A strong art background — ideally 2+ years with acrylics and the ability to recreate our paintings.
- Confidence in speaking and entertaining in front of large groups.
- Experience in hospitality, teaching, or customer service (bonus if you’ve worked at a paint-and-sip or similar experience-based venue).
- A natural people-person who can read the room, manage energy levels, and keep the good vibes flowing.
- Someone who is happy working independently and as part of a creative, fun team.
This role is ideal for an extroverted individual who loves to entertain, socialise, and create a positive atmosphere, and wants to earn extra income doing something fun and meaningful on nights and weekends.
When You’ll Be Needed
- Available Thursday–Sunday, with most sessions happening Friday–Sunday.
- Comfortable working public holidays and key peak periods (especially June/July, November/December, Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day).
- Flexible to take on last-minute bookings or rotating schedules.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Hosting and guiding up to 30+ guests step-by-step through a painting.
- Creating a fun, inclusive atmosphere that gets everyone laughing, painting, and leaving proud of their masterpiece.
- Helping with light studio set-up and pack-down (cleaning brushes, wiping tables, studio reset, cleaning a bathroom, etc.).
- Occasionally running VIP or off-site events in fabulous locations across the city.
