The space is large and well equipped, and we look froward to coming back again!

We love coming back and trying different painting styles. We have all the finished art pieces decorating our home and they remind us of the fun we had at the studio.

This is a great paint studio; super quiet (only us and another small group were in the studio on a…read moreSunday afternoon), friendly and knowledgeable staff and they give you a quick demo for the paint pours. My friend and I did the regular acrylic paint pour on the small 8x 10" canvas ($18 for canvas, $20 for wood). We had little cups to mix the different paint colours in, and experimented with the flow and drips. Inspirational to want to try to do this at home. My only comment is that they don't have a large selection of paints. Some are either empty (or soon to be), and are the brands you can get at the dollarstore. But great space to hang out with friends or have a birthday party. They have baked goods and beverages for purchase as well.

I came across Palette Art School coincidentally, so I decided why not try a class and see how it goes. From that first class , I knew that this was the school I was looking for. They teach drawing and painting beginning from the basics, and work all the way up to a very advanced level. Also, the classroom atmosphere is extremely comfortable and friendly. Everyone openly discusses their work with each other and there is no feeling of judgement. I'm very happy that i found Palette Art School and I would recommend them to any and all people with an interest in the arts!!!!

Highly recommend owner/artist Layne, who was able to get the necessary practical and safety information across - and keep the irrepressible teen focused, in a fun and amusing way. Hats off also to Sam who helped the shy girl. High Five!

Our team recently visited this studio for a ring making workshop, and overall, it was a cool…read moreexperience! The couple running the place is really sweet and polite, and the vibe was nice. At the start, the instructor explained the process, but I noticed he mostly focused on a handful of people, so a few of us (including me) missed some details. We were given a clay like material to roll into a tube and a mold, which we did but then things got a little confusing. After shaping it, he took our rings, wrapped them around the mold, and handed them back. Apparently, we were supposed to carve and design them at that point, but this wasn't clearly communicated, so me and one other person just didn't do anything LOL Luckily, my ring still turned out nice (I wanted something simple anyway), so no complaints there! The place itself is great and worth checking out, but I'd suggest two small improvements: 1. Clearer instructions - Maybe double check that everyone's on the same page before moving forward. 2. Better supplies- They were running low on basics like tissues, cutlery, and plates, which would've made the experience smoother. Still a fun time -just needs a little fine tuning :)

First you book, then you send in a suitable picture and they will trace it on for your first so you can start tufting right away. After you're done, they will seal it with a backing and then have you shave off the excess. Be sure you to have room in your luggage for it if you're from out of town like we were.
