F\u00eate 832<\/a>, started off small with its innovative drip-and-pour approach to figurine painting. However, after just one month of being open, it was catapulted into the larger retail scene after going viral on TikTok.<\/p>\nNunn said the heightened demand spurred her search to secure a bigger studio that could accommodate more guests, ultimately leading to F\u00eate 832\u2019s relocation to Rice Village in November 2025.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s special about it?<\/p>\n
Equipped with a 30-person seating capacity, F\u00eate 832\u2019s black and white canvas-inspired storefront at 2414 Rice Blvd., Houston, caters to an immersive, phones-down environment where guests can design something that is distinctly their own, Nunn said.<\/p>\n

The design concept for F\u00eate 832’s Rice Village location is based off Nunn’s childhood memories watching black and white cartoons. Additionally, it is symbolic of the “blank canvas” that guests obtain upon entering the free-flowing, creative space, Nunn said.(Emily Lara\/Community Impact)What\u2019s different?<\/p>\n
Aesthetic purposes aside, Nunn said it was important that F\u00eate 832 utilized common household items alongside the drip-and-pour method to serve artists of all ages and skill levels, especially those with disabilities and dexterity-related challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think with paintbrushes, we really want to remove that barrier to accessibility for folks who have different ways of enjoying art. The figurines themselves are cool, and the pouring method is just super easy,\u201d Nunn explained. \u201cIt\u2019s an easy teachable style as well, so large groups can grasp the concept.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the painting process, which usually takes about an hour to complete, guests are required to leave their figurines at the studio for a 2-day drying period.<\/p>\n
During this time, completed pieces are hardened under a heat lamp, which dries paint much faster than the typical kiln and fire method, Nunn said. The creations are then stored while awaiting customer pick-up.<\/p>\n
A sneak peek<\/p>\n
F\u00eate 832\u2019s current figurine collection consists of nine different sculpture options. Although plans are still in the works, Nunn said that guests can expect to see new, year-round additions to the line-up sometime around Black Friday in November.<\/p>\n

Among the pieces within F\u00eate 832’s collection, its featured ‘Houston hat’ is a custom made figurine presented in collaboration with American rapper Trae tha Truth. The hat showcases a design of the city’s iconic skyline.(Emily Lara\/Community Impact)<\/p>\n
In the meantime, guests may continue to book F\u00eate 832 for private and off-site events via phone call or online, in addition to stopping by for walk-ins. They may also visit Nunn\u2019s second location in the Heights area along West 19th Street, which officially opened in August.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the opportunities have been just a great signal to me. Even in an economy that\u2019s really hard and tough, we have so much community support,\u201d Nunn said. \u201cI sit amongst great company being in the Rice Village area, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrea Nunn remembers fondly the afternoons she spent at her grandmother\u2019s house as a child.
