Wicked Rae's Splatter Studio
Community Guidelines & Policies
Our Commitment to You
We're Seattle's boldest, messiest art studio - where creativity comes with goggles, paint, glitter, and a whole lot of soul. But before you splatter, dart, stomp, or scream your way through paint, let's talk safety, shared joy, and how we keep this space magical for everyone.

⚠️ Safety Waiver & Participation Agreement
Voluntary Participation: Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. Activities may involve physical exertion, exposure to paint, and interaction with potentially slick surfaces.
Splatter Room Risks:
-
The floor in the Splatter Room is layered in canvas but may still become slippery, especially when guests use feet or bodies to paint
-
While no longer as slippery as it once was, there is still a fall risk
-
By entering the Splatter Room, you acknowledge this risk and release Wicked Rae's, its owners, and staff from all liability for injury
Equipment & Tools:
-
Use of tennis rackets, water guns, balloons, and other non-traditional tools in close quarters carries additional risks
-
Guests assume full liability for all actions
Required & Optional Safety Gear:
-
Goggles must be worn at all times in the Splatter Room (required)
-
Ponchos, shoe covers, and shower caps provided (optional but recommended)
-
Full body waterproof paint suits available for purchase ($20)
Personal Property:
-
The studio is not responsible for damage to clothing, phones, personal belongings, or bodily injury
-
Wear clothes you're prepared to retire or repurpose as "paint clothes"
Pregnancy Considerations:
-
We use non-toxic tempera paints that are generally safe for pregnant individuals. However, every person and every pregnancy is different
-
We strongly encourage pregnant participants to consult with their physician before booking to ensure this activity is safe for their specific situation
-
By participating while pregnant, you acknowledge that you have consulted with your healthcare provider or chosen to proceed at your own risk
Supervision of Minors:
-
Parents/guardians are responsible for supervising minors at all times
-
If a child leaves the Splatter Room for any reason (bathroom, break, etc.), an adult must accompany them
-
We do not provide childcare or supervision services
👨👩👧👦 Age Guidelines & Parental Discretion
Age Recommendation:
-
Little artists can start splattering at age 2 and up
-
Kids ages 9 and under must have a grown-up with their own package in the room to supervise (and ideally, also make a mess)
Parent/Guardian Discretion:
-
Age restrictions are guidelines only
-
Parents and guardians know their children best and are empowered to make the final decision on whether this experience is appropriate for their child
-
All children must be actively supervised by their parent/guardian at all times
🎨 Your Artistic Experience & Canvas Results
We Provide an Experience, Not a Guarantee:
-
Wicked Rae's offers an interactive and immersive art-making experience
-
We cannot and do not guarantee that your final product will be a "work of art" that meets your expectations or that you will be satisfied with the outcome
-
The creative process is subjective, unpredictable, and beautifully chaotic
Paint Blending & Color Mixing:
-
If you continue to layer paint repeatedly or smear colors with tools, the colors may blend together and turn muddy, brown, or otherwise undesirable
-
Once this happens, there is limited ability to correct it without:
-
Purchasing additional paint (at additional cost)
-
Allowing the canvas to dry completely and starting over
-
-
This is part of the splatter paint process - we are not liable for paintings that turn brown or don't meet your artistic vision
Paint Types & Finishes:
-
Standard Paint: Tempera (non-toxic, easy to clean, safe for all ages)
-
Paint Upgrades Available: Acrylic and fabric acrylic paint (additional cost - inquire when booking)
-
Tempera Finish: Dries matte. If you prefer a glossy, vibrant finish, you may want to purchase an acrylic varnish to seal your artwork and maintain the luster of colors. Some people love the matte look - it's all personal preference!
The value of this experience lies in the creative process itself, not solely in the final product.
🚨 Emergency Closures & Rescheduling
Studio-Initiated Closures: If Wicked Rae's must close due to an emergency during your scheduled session - including but not limited to health emergencies, natural disasters, power outages, or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control - your session will be rescheduled at no additional cost (one-time courtesy rescheduling only). No refunds - all sales are final.
Customer-Initiated Rescheduling: If you need to reschedule your appointment:
-
14 or more days' notice: ONE FREE reschedule (one-time courtesy)
-
Less than 14 days' notice: $25 rescheduling fee
-
48 hours or less notice: $50 rescheduling fee
These fees reflect the reserved time slot and lost business opportunity, as we often must turn away other customers when time slots are held.
No-shows or same-day cancellations will result in forfeiture of the experience with no refund or credit issued.
🎁 Gifting Your Experience
Want to gift your session to someone else? We love that!
Transfer Requirements:
-
Wicked Rae's must be notified in writing (via email, text, or other documented communication) of:
-
The name of the person gifting the experience (original purchaser)
-
The name of the person receiving the gift
-
-
Wicked Rae's must approve of the individuals you are wanting to transfer to for safety reasons.
-
Transfers must be completed before the scheduled session date
-
The 60-day expiration still applies from the original purchase date
🖼️ Bring Your Own Canvas & Take-Home Boxes
Additional Canvases:
-
You're welcome to bring in additional canvases to paint during your session!
-
48-hour advance notice required so we can prepare the studio
Take-Home Boxes:
-
Each standard package includes a take-home box for your canvas
-
If you bring additional canvases, you must purchase additional take-home boxes
-
Cost: $5–$20 depending on canvas size
-
We reserve our standard boxes for scheduled package sessions to ensure everyone gets their artwork home safely
😎 Behavior & Studio Vibes
Wicked Rae's is a brave space, not a free-for-all. We expect:
-
Respect for staff, guests, and shared space
-
Zero tolerance for hate speech, harassment, or discrimination
-
No illicit or explicit words, images, or symbols on community walls
-
Paint stays in the Splatter Room. Excessive paint in the bathroom, on the walls, or the couch = cleaning fee.
We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service: Wicked Rae's reserves the right to refuse service or terminate your session immediately without refund if you:
-
Become hostile, threatening, or abusive toward any staff member or participant
-
Violate studio policies or community guidelines
-
Engage in unsafe or destructive behavior
-
Are under the influence of drugs or alcohol
🚫 Any violation can end your session without a refund. Paint loud - but paint kind.
🎨 Community Etiquette
The walls are your shared canvas.
Please:
-
Use hands or splatter tools - not brushes - on walls
-
Keep imagery friendly and inclusive (no scary, hateful, or explicit content)
-
Leave your signature handprint if you're feeling bold 💥
🧹 Clean-Up & Fees
We prepare a clean, freshly prepped floor for each group.
Our Expectations:
-
All paint and mess must remain in the Splatter Room
-
Excessive mess in shared spaces (e.g., restrooms, lobby, couch, walls outside the Splatter Room) will result in a cleaning fee of $50–$100
💡 Seattle Insider Tip: Bring your street clothes in a bag, and slip into cozy socks after your masterpiece.
🎤 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Booking & Scheduling
Q: How do I book a session?
A: Hit our online booking page for groups of 1-6 people. For groups of 7-9, give us a call or text. You can also message us directly on social media. Phone calls are available 1PM–8PM, Wednesday through Sunday (subject to times when we're in sessions or hosting events). We're sometimes available to text during sessions, but we'll call you back within 48 hours. It all starts when you say, "Let's do this."
Q: Can I just walk in or drop by?
A: Not yet! We're appointment-only right now (though we might add walk-ins soon). All sessions require at least 48 hours' notice. Why? Because we're out in the wild teaching workshops, hosting corporate events, and bringing art chaos to weddings and retreats. We want to be here and ready when YOU arrive!
Q: What are your hours?
A: We're open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (Wednesday–Sunday) by appointment. Yes, you read that right. Want to splatter paint at 2 AM on a Saturday? Give us 48 hours' notice and we'll make it happen (subject to availability). We're the studio night owls dream about.
Q: I don't see a time that works on your booking page. Can you help?
A: Absolutely! Our posted times are just the starting point. Most sessions are by request, so shoot us a message and we'll flex the schedule just for you. We work around YOUR life.
Q: How early should I arrive?
A: Show up about 15 minutes before your scheduled session - not earlier. We flip the studio between bookings so you get full privacy and a freshly chaotic canvas. Your booked time is your paint time, so if you're late, you're eating into your own splatter minutes!
Q: When does my session actually start?
A: Your booked time is your paint time. If your session is at 4:00 PM and you roll in at 4:10, you've got 20 minutes of glorious chaos left. Plan for parking, Seattle traffic, and don't ghost your canvas.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: At least 1 week in advance to lock in your preferred time. We host everyone from corporate teams to bachelorette parties to families, and spots fill up fast - especially on weekends!
Group Size & Pricing
Q: How many people can I book for?
A: Groups of 1-6 can book directly online. Groups of 7-9 people need to call us to reserve, and there's an additional $50 cleaning fee (bigger crews = bigger messes). For 10+ people, call us and we'll design a custom experience.
Q: Do I have to pay for everyone in my group?
A: Yes! Everyone participating needs their own paid package. No sharing sessions, no sneaking in extra people. We're fun, not a free-for-all.
Q: Can I bring friends or family to watch?
A: This is a private studio experience for participants only. Everyone in the Splatter Room needs their own package. Observers would still be in the paint zone, so they'd need to suit up and pay up!
Payment & Refunds
Q: When do I need to pay?
A: Full payment is due upon receipt unless you've made other payment arrangements with us in writing. Once you book, your spot is locked in.
Q: What's your refund policy?
A: All sales are final. No refunds. Once we prep your paint and reserve your time slot, we're committed - and so are you!
Q: What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
A: We get it - life happens. But instead of refunds, here's what we offer:
-
Reschedule with 10+ days notice: ONE FREE reschedule (one-time courtesy!)
-
Reschedule with less than 9 days notice: $25 fee
-
Reschedule with 48 hours or less notice: $50 fee
-
Gift it: Transfer your session to a friend (just let us know who's giving and who's receiving)
-
No-show? You lose the session entirely. No refunds, no rain checks.
Q: Do my sessions expire?
A: Yes! You must use your experience within 60 days from the date of purchase. After that, it voids. No exceptions, no extensions, no refunds. Book it, use it, love it!
Ages & Supervision
Q: What ages do you welcome?
A: Little artists can start splattering at age 2 and up! Kids ages 9 and under must have a grown-up with their own paid package in the room to supervise (and ideally, make their own mess too).
Q: Are the age limits strict?
A: Nope! Age restrictions are guidelines only. Parents and guardians know their children best, so you decide if this experience is right for your kiddo. Just know that you're responsible for supervising them the entire time.
Q: Do you watch my kids?
A: No! We are not a childcare service. Parents and guardians must actively supervise their children at all times. If a child leaves the Splatter Room (for bathroom, snacks, etc.), an adult must go with them.
Q: Is it kid-friendly?
A: Wildly so. Kids love it. Parents love it. Chaos loves it. We also offer private sensory-safe sessions for neurodivergent kiddos - no extra cost, no weird forms. Just ask.
Q: Is it safe if I'm pregnant?
A: We use non-toxic tempera paints, which are generally safe for pregnant individuals. However, every person and every pregnancy is different! We strongly encourage you to consult with your physician before booking to make sure this activity is appropriate for your specific situation. Your health and your baby's health come first!
What to Expect
Q: Do I need art experience?
A: Not even a little. This isn't art class - it's expressive chaos. No rules, no judgment, just your energy and a whole lot of paint. If you can throw, squirt, stomp, or smear, you're qualified.
Q: What's included in my session?
A: Every booking includes:
-
30–60 minutes of private studio time (depends on your package)
-
One canvas per person (11x14 to 16x20 - larger sizes available on request)
-
Sensory splatter tools: brushes, balloons, bottles, water guns, texture fun
-
Protective gear: poncho, shoe covers, shower cap, and goggles (goggles are required!)
-
A studio tailored to your energy and your people
-
Q: What should I wear?
A: Anything you're okay with baptizing in rainbow splatter. We provide goggles (required), ponchos, hair covers, and shoe covers - but you'll still walk out gloriously messy. Think of it as battle scars from creativity. Full body waterproof paint suits available for $20!
Q: Will my glasses fit under the goggles?
A: Absolutely! Regular prescription glasses fit fine. For funky oversized glasses, it depends on the size - but we'll make it work.
Q: What type of paint do you use?
A: Our standard paint is tempera - non-toxic, easy to clean, and safe for all ages. However, for tailored experiences, we offer upgrades to acrylic, glow-in-the-dark, fabric paints, spray paint, enamel, and more for an additional cost. If you have allergies or sensitivities, let us know so we can accommodate!
Q: Will my painting look like a masterpiece?
A: Maybe! Maybe not! And that's the point. We provide an experience, not a guarantee. If you layer paint over and over, it might turn brown or muddy - and there's not much you can do except start over or buy more paint. The magic is in the process, not perfection. We can't promise you'll love your final product, but we CAN promise you'll have a blast making it.
Q: My tempera painting dried matte. Can I make it shiny?
A: Yes! Tempera naturally dries matte, which some people love. If you want that glossy, vibrant look, grab an acrylic varnish from any craft store and seal your masterpiece. Instant luster!
Q: Can I bring additional canvases to paint?
A: Absolutely! Just give us 48 hours' notice so we can prep the space. Keep in mind, you'll need to purchase take-home boxes for any extra canvases (our included boxes are reserved for standard package canvases). Extra boxes cost $5–$20 depending on size.
Food, Drinks & Extras
Q: Can I bring food or drinks?
A: Yes! It's BYOB - bring snacks, champagne, sparkling cider, whatever makes your session tasty. Just pack it out when you're done. We don't provide food or drinks, but we won't stop you from popping bubbly mid-splatter.
Q: Can I buy anything extra at the studio?
A: Yes! We offer:
-
Full body waterproof paint suits: $20
-
Additional paint colors or upgraded paint types (acrylic, fabric, etc.)
-
Extra canvases
-
Take-home boxes for additional canvases: $5–$20
-
Extended time
Give us 48 hours' notice if you want paint suits or other add-ons so we can ensure we have your size in stock!
Artwork & Take-Home
Q: Can I take my artwork home?
A: Heck yes! Your masterpiece gets boxed up and goes home with you. For big pieces like our 24x36 panels, make sure you have the right ride (car with trunk space, not a tiny Lyft) - wet paint waits for no one. We do not keep your paintings unless prior arrangements were made before your session.
Q: What if I bring extra canvases?
A: You'll need to purchase additional take-home boxes since our included boxes are reserved for standard sessions. Boxes range from $5–$20 depending on canvas size.
Location & Accessibility
Q: Where exactly are you located?
A: Ignore Google's confusion. We are not inside Springline Apartments and not Domino's Pizza (though they weirdly share our address). Walk past Springline and find us ground level, across from the Thai place and the funeral home. Yeah, it's weird. We love it.
Q: Is the studio accessible?
A: Yes! We offer sensory-safe sessions for neurodivergent guests and can accommodate mobility needs. Just call ahead and let us know what you need - we'll make it work.
Policies & Waivers
Q: What if there's an emergency and the studio has to close?
A: If WE have to close due to a health emergency, natural disaster, power outage, or other crisis during your session, we'll reschedule you at no extra cost (one-time courtesy).
Q: Do I have to sign a waiver?
A: Yes. You're entering a space where floors get slick, paint flies, and tennis rackets swing. You're assuming the risk and releasing us from liability for injuries, falls, or damage to your belongings. By booking and participating, you're agreeing to our terms.
Q: Can I get kicked out?
A: Yes - but only if you're hostile, threatening, discriminatory, or violating our community guidelines. Paint loud, but paint kind. If you're disrespectful to staff or other guests, your session ends immediately with no refund.
Gifting & Transfers
Q: Can I gift my session to someone else?
A: Absolutely! Just let us know in writing (email or text) who's gifting it and who's receiving it. The 60-day expiration still applies from the original purchase date, so make sure your friend uses it in time!
