A wide assortment of paints and accessories to make your own creation special. My my family decided to decorate coffee cups. It was really fun and the baby even got in on action. My daughter is son in law were very creative.Me not so much, but it was fun anyway. The space is kind of small.We went on a weekend and they had a big group in there.So I would say during the week is probably a better time. The staff was a really nice and helpful. I cannot wait to go back and create something different. Also, it takes about a week to get your finished project back. Because it has to be put in the oven to finish it.

Love this place! It is a small space so definitely make a reservation if you are going in groups!…read moreParking lot is also small so be prepared for that. Neither of those things are drawbacks, just things that would be helpful to know ahead of time if you've never been before! Inside is a very cozy atmosphere and welcoming environment! There's always a variety of blank pieces to select from; I do not often see repeat items. There is a table at the front which includes various items: stamps, lace, paper cut-outs, paint tape, letter stamps, just lots of things to help you make the piece you want! They do discounts for students and children. I cannot recall the exact amount for each, but they do have them!

Celebrated my husband's early birthday here on a Friday night. Short North was busy but we got…read morethere early to make a candle before our class so we had plenty of time to get settled. The team did a great job helping us celebrate by making a subtle birthday sign. They were also all very kind and helpful throughout the entire night. The candle making was easy and straight forward, and it was able to set while we did our class. Before class started they took our drink orders and they came quickly. We got a lemon drop and a paint water martini. Both were very tasty! Only a few people were on time, but they did give a few minutes grace period to let people find parking. By the time we got started the vibes were fun. Yahfa was our artist and she had an awesome Y2K playlist going. She explained all the steps clearly and gave us ample time to paint. We did a black light picture so most of the class was in the dark with the paint glowing. As someone who is not an artist this was so much fun! The whole process took about 2 hours, and it was easy to follow along from both her instructions and seeing her work projected on the tv. The team also made sure to regularly check in to see if we needed anything or wanted any drinks. At the end of our time, our paintings were mostly dry and our candle was set. We were also able to choose a painting from a number of options as a birthday gift for my husband. It was very sweet and a nice cherry on top of our night! We are so happy with how it went that we are already planning to go back and bring some friends along too! If you get the chance, this is definitely a fun activity for a date, friends, or even families!

The event was well organized, as the canvas/paints/brushes/smocks are all provided. The activity itself was SO much fun! We ate pizza, sipped on wine and paint to our heart's content! Even though we had a large party of about 30 painters, the instructors, Anna, came around and helped me several times, even showing me what I needed to do and offering feedback. She was supportive and helpful. Despite my dreadful painting, I LOVED my experience with Art with Anna. I especially loved that the money raised went to support cancer research at the James.

We were a group of six and the only ones there, so we got to enjoy a seriously talented acoustic guitarist and had lots of help from the employee. It was such a nice evening - the music was lovely, and painting was much more relaxing than I expected. I haven't been to a place like this since I was a kid, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I liked that in addition to lots of paint colors there other ways to enhance your item - stamps, tape, stencils, etc. The staff member gave just the right amount of help - she was always there to answer questions when we had them but also gave us plenty of freedom to play around with everything. We ended up staying for almost two hours and had such a great time. I will absolutely be adding this to my list of places to take out of town guests, and I can't wait to pick up our finished items!

It was getting within a week of the date and I still didn't get a confirmation. I called the place AT LEAST 12 times and sent 2 emails and still no response, because the mailbox was full and nobody ever answered the phone. Since I was bringing 8 people, I needed to confirm. So I drove to the place (which was supposed to be open, but was closed) and left a note, written on a napkin (saying PLEASE CALL AND CONFIRM) and placed it under a rock in front of the door. I spent at least an hour, if not more, trying to confirm this party. After the note, I finally got a phone call. NO APOLOGIES for the inconvenience were given. The person just said that there phones weren't working. Additionally, the painting instructor was very kind, but young and NOT VERY INSTRUCTIVE. She said, "Paint flowers at the bottom." Well, I want to know HOW to paint flowers! My painting looked like a 5 year old. When I went to another studio in Worthington about a year ago, I left with a beautiful painting because the instructor gave us all very detailed instructions and SHOWED us how to paint, instead of TELLING us what to paint. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!

This was my first paint & sip, and it was a great experience. The studio is very cute, with…read morecompleted paintings decking all the walls. We sat two to each table. The owner (I am assuming her name is Kym) was very helpful, as were her daughter and son who were helping her out. They gave advice during the session, and brought fresh water to rinse paintbrushes. They came with more paint when we requested it. They also helped us blowdry the canvasses. It was the instructor's first time and he did great. I am not an artist and don't consider myself creative, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out just fine. You can book and pay online, after choosing the day by whatever painting you want to create. All you need to bring is your own wine; they have available corkscrews and stemless glasses. I look forward to returning to create more art!

Lisa is an incredible instructor and guides you through the entire process step by step until the painting is complete. We decided which painting we wanted to paint prior to the class. When we arrived our easels were ready with a blank canvas along with all the supplies we needed to paint the picture. It's very important to arrive on time so no steps are missed. We did have a few ladies that did arrive a little late but they were able to catch up. If you want to bring snacks and drinks, you are able to do so. Everyone left with a beautiful painting that they didn't think they could paint. I highly recommend this business and plan to return on my own.
