We took an acrylic painting class which was well thought out and our instructor John was very helpful, he gave great feedback throughout every stage of the painting process and I look forward to attending future classes. 'All in all' a fun evening out and glass of wine and snacks always goes down well when being expressive through painting. Highly recommend going to a class or just stopping by the artist space to see the beautiful pieces that are being created. Thank you Erin and John, we'll definitely be back!

Currently, the owner and instructor, Theresa, can be hired for in-home classes, and so I hosted a very small, in-home class (and brunch) for some girlfriends. First, Theresa is still fabulous at teaching class! She is sweet, patient, funny, and understanding with all levels of artistry-- including us "artistically-challenged" folks. ;) Not only did she teach at our pace; she also created a painting that was doable for us, and that allowed each of us to feel successful. (She will even walk around and help you out individually, if desired.) Moreover, I appreciated her payment setup! Theresa has a very user-friendly payment system that accepts credit and debit cards. The system is an online website, allowing each one of our participants to pay whenever she liked, and, as the host of the day, I TRULY loved that I did not have to collect money from everyone, and then pay in one lump sum. I will be hiring Theresa again for a similar painting party, and would highly recommend her for a brunch, group date night, bachelorette party, bridal shower, and/or birthday party!

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure last October to get in touch with our inner artist and take one of the more unique class offerings with the talented Ms. Teresa for the wine and beer stein painting class. For $30 we had four wine glasses that we could paint whatever our hearts desired. With it being October and the weather in true form of Fall all around us we chose to paint a few in All Hallowes Eve theme and for my other two I got a little more adventurous with our teacher Teresa's guidance and painted purple flowers. My girlfriend got very artistic with Teresa's help and painted her favorite Football team, one in Old Saint Nick themed and her final one to reminder her to SIP HAPPY hehe We had an AMAZING girls night out, Teresa is an OUTSTANDING teacher, beyond patient and helpful and gosh it's been wayyyyy too long, time to get back in there! With Fall around the corner time to grab my girlfriend and paint a picture, a beer stein or maybe one of the cute ceramics Teresa has in her wonderful studio. Happy Yelping!

Dawnda is such a beautiful soul and cares so much about each and every customer. Classes start at either 2:00 or 7:00. They run around $25-$40 a class and include your first drink.

Our appetizers came before our drinks, we had to keep asking for refills for our water, and then we waited 20 minutes between the appetizer and the dinner to come out. They also cleared our silverware after the appetizer and we had to ask for silverware when the entrées came. I would expect better service at such a nice restaurant.
