Dot Paint & Sip Night at Qamaria Coffee

This is basically a Mother’s Day craft night built for people who want something more hands-on than brunch. Dotted Beauties is running a dot-paint (eventbrite.com) with your mom, come with a friend, or come alone, make a piece of art, and hang out with a drink in a coffee shop instead of a bar. (ev([eventbrite.com)# What is the event, exactly? It’s a guided dot-art paint-and-sip night for teens and adults, organized by Dotted(eventbrite.com)d to mother-child pairs — the listing explicitly says solo guests are welcome too. (eventbrite.com) ### What kind of art are people making? The format is dot art — painting by building up patterns and shapes with repeated dots instead of brushstrokes. That matters because it lowers the intimidation factor(eventbrite.com)e can do without prior experience. (eventbrite.com) ### Who’s teaching it? The host is a Fremont-based self-taught artist behind Dotted Beauties. She describes starting the practice during the Covid period as a way (eventbrite.com)ecords, jewelry, musical instruments, and other surfaces — which tells you this is less “paint by numbers” and more a specific decorative style with a real local following. (eventbrite.com) ### What do you get with a ticket? The practical setup is pretty str(eventbrite.com)es. The one thing attendees are told to handle themselves is clothing: bring an apron or wear something paint-friendly. (eventbrite.com) ### How much does it cost? Tickets are listed at $45 for one person or $75 for two people. There’s also a catch people should know before showing up — each guest has to buy at least one drink from the café. So the real cost is ticket plus beverage, not just the ticket price on its own. (eventbrite.com) ### Is this meant for kids? Not really small kids. The event page says it’s open to ages 15 and up, and Eventbrite also flags it as a teens-and-adults event. So this reads more like a calm workshop night than a family free-for-all. (e([eventbrite.com)## Why hold it at Qamaria? That’s part of the appeal. Qamaria’s Fremont location is a late-hours Yemeni coffee shop at 4193 Cushing Parkway, which makes the event feel more like a cozy evening outing than a formal class. Paint-and-sip nights usually lean on wine-bar energy, but here the draw is coffeehouse atmosphere and specialty drinks. (eventbrite.com) ### Is there any bigger angle here? Yes — the proceeds are tied to a cause. The organizer says net proceeds will go to Asha for Education, which supports access to education for un(eventbrite.com)lass, and a small fundraiser. (eventbrite.com) ### Bottom line? If you want a low-pressure Mother’s Day activity before the weekend crush starts, this is a pretty clear fit. Two hours, beginner-friendly, coffee in hand, and you leave with something you actually made — that’s the whole deal. (eventbrite.com)
