Paint! What a fun place to be creative! I love that it's right downtown in beautiful Stillwater…read more I took my son here during his MEA break. We made a reservation ahead of time which was super easy by calling the studio a handful of days earlier. A reservation is optional. We were greeted by Andy who showed us the ropes regarding picking a ceramic piece, paint, & showed us to our table which was right up against the windows so we had some nice natural light. It was a relaxing atmosphere and I love how stress just melts away when you're painting. I decided on a llama succulent plant holder while my kiddo decided on the Eiffel Tower. The staff are great and friendly. You can also paint canvases if you want. They also host bday parties too! Tips: The staff will want you to do 3 coats of paint before you're done. If you don't finish your masterpiece during your visit - you can come back 1 more time to finish up. The price of the object includes the paint, firing the object, smocks, paint brushes and your time and table. Tipping is optional but appreciated.

The people who work here are on top of things, but also chill. I don't normally get all excited for places like this, but I definitely recommend Kari's! There are two types of paint.

I would guess most of the time they have room for a group of 4 during walk in hours.

Many of us were uncertain about our artistic abilities but Cheers Pablo makes it easy! We booked a class. Everyone paints the same thing and the leader demonstrates techniques and places to paint first to get the best result. I believe the session is supposed to be 90 minutes, but they didn't rush you out - they were generous and said the next class wasn't until 3 hours later, so we were good to finish. The provide canvas which had a penciled outline of the art that you are going to create. They provide a large variety of acrylic paint and glitter for you to create your artwork. It was lots of fun! Already looking to see when I can come back with my family. One tip I will leave is - wear clothes and shoes you wouldn't mind so much if paint got on it. If you see paint on yourself right away, clean it off before it dries. In my case, I got a nice speckle on my boot that I didn't realize until I got home, and now I have a speckled ugg.

Plus some of the fellow students are really cool people so all in all it makes up for a very positive experience.
