Party on the Avenue is much better than these Paint Nite's. Believe me... I have done them all:…read morePaint Nite, Pub & Paint, Wine & Canvas and of course, Party on the Avenue. By far, Party on the Avenue is the most inviting and memorable. I have been to POTA twice and both times, have walked away feeling satisfied. A couple of things you should know: 1. The party is upstairs - so if you walk in and no one greets ya... it's because who actually parties on the main floor? 2. The paints provided are legitimate paints. They don't run and it's not the cheap paints you get from these overpriced paint nites. 3. The canvas is flat, which is nice... especially if you want to frame them after you've finished your masterpiece. 4. Amy is so energetic and helpful. She always has a big smile and music playing, so she can dance her way around the paintings. 5. You can bring your own booze. SOLID. 6. These "parties" will last you a solid 3-4 hours, because you're usually relaxing and enjoying your time but you're also painting a more difficult photo usually. 7. The calendar on the POTA site let's you know the "event" days. My favorite, obviously is Paint your Pet night. Amy drafts up a pencil sketch or your pet and you paint it... really is an awesome experience! So who's ready to paint, hon?

Featuring cakes by Hiatus Cheesecake and Ice cream by Cajou Creamery (both DELICIOUS)! Nichole is such a sweet and lively person! Our wood sign class was well organized, with lots of materials and colors to choose from! We had glitter,a variety of paints and multiple wood sign options. Definitely a great class and good value! Outside of the class, the storefront is so nice and features beautiful woodwork, and custom tumblers, signs and local art/goods. This is such an intentionally designed spot and I would love to do another workshop here!

When they open the physical space back up, you should quickly reserve a workshop to paint a wood sign. I had my bestie join me on my birthday and had such a great experience, wonderful instructors, quality materials, friendly staff and a beautiful store to craft in. Loved my finished product. I recently saw that they were offering a 1 hour online workshop with a guest speaker/ coach. The topic was about rest not being a luxury. With everything going on today, it was timely and on point. The coach dropped some gems during the first half, we were then able to ask questions via chat. After that, we started painting our signs with live follow the leader step by step instructions. The sign came in a nicely prepared box wrapped in lovely paper and was pre-stained. Also included were pots of paints of your chosen colors, a stencil transfer, paint brush, wooden flowers, small sponges for dabbing the paint on, and two recipes (face mask and a cocktail). The class was well moderated. The owner was streaming live from her home workshop with a really cool backdrop. This was well put together!!! My end product was amazing! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Looking forward to more workshops.

I purchased an in-home wine tasting event through Living Social and have never been so impressed…read more(in a negative way) by a lack of professionalism, rudeness, and condescension from a business. I scheduled my event months in advance and planned to have some of my closest friends over to my house for an enjoyable evening. Two days before the event, a woman called me and rudely demanded I pay shipping and handling fees. I received an email when I booked my event that said: "Any unpaid invoices/gratuity can be paid at time of event," so I was a little confused by the phone call and put off by the woman on the phone. I promptly paid the S&H through PayPal. Then approximately 24 hours before my scheduled event, I received another phone call from the same woman saying that my event would have to rescheduled. She gave me a couple of options: I could move my event up two hours, I could reschedule my event entirely, or they could drop off the wine and platter. If anyone has ever hosted an event with more than 2 people, they know that it is nearly impossible to find a date AND time that works for everyone. The woman tried to tell me that by dropping off the wine and platter, I would be getting the whole experience for which I paid. When I told her this was not the case (the package includes an hour of wine instruction), I subsequently got a condescending lecture on how the three bottles of wine I would be getting are so premium that they cannot be bought in stores and that I was missing out on the deal of a lifetime. By cancelling I was missing out on a bargain that couldn't be had anywhere else and that I was a negative person whose attitude would not get her far in life. Not only does Sipping Pretty lack professionalism, they have also succeeded insulting their customer!

I first discovered this place because my son goes to the Upton Boxing Center less than a mile away. I was invited to come by one of my friends. Her Sister Megan Lewis had her artwork featured for a month. Upon arrival the Customer Service was amazing. They had snacks and stuff. I got a chance to meet the artist and view the artwork. One of the hosts encouraged me to go upstairs where they were making plates in honor of Sibby Grant. So I received a quick history lesson while I was there. Libby Grant wrote a letter to her slave owner Confederate POW John Hanson Thomas. They had the actual letter which was really impressive considering she was a slave and she could really write. So we made plates, which was going on a display at the Walters Art Museum Gallery. They also have classes daily at night from 5-8. I am so excited about this hidden gem. They will see be back really soon.
