She made sure I knew what was in the kit, how to use it, and gave out tips and suggestions on the possibilities the two canvases could become.

The most fun we've had doing art in a long time. Painting with a Twist is a fun, casual activity…read morethat fits into just about any occasion, whether it be a date night or just doing something with friends. There are a lot of class options (categorized by what painting you'll be doing) so there's good variety. We chose a very pretty painting which we did not have the foresight to realize would be pretty difficult to paint. Check-in was smooth and the studio is intimate; they also have all materials setup for you ahead of time including aprons. This is also a BYOB spot and many people had wine with them if that's the kind of twist you're looking for. Our instructor was very good during our class. She was genuinely passionate and patient with everyone, doing multiple stops and checks and reassuring us along the way that everything would be fine. This was more of an intermediate level painting that took a bit of skill and finesse so the patient attitude and slow pace was helpful in getting out paintings as close to the original as possible. The only downside to that was the activity ran well over the time we had scheduled for it (2 hours turned into 3-3.5 hours), which forced us to push back a dinner reservation we had made. That's not really a drawback if you have the time and want it to be perfect but for those maybe looking to do something after your painting then it's good to be aware of that. At the end of the event we were genuinely impressed by how well our paintings came out. The attention to detail and instruction make it so that anyone regardless of skill level can come in and put together a painting that would look good on the front of a fridge. They have many different classes and paintings to choose from and for the price it absolutely feels worth it to come back, which we will be doing soon.

They also have a small boutique that offers unique Texas-themed sundries, including clothing. Last but not least there is a custom furniture maker affiliated with TCC.

Plus 1 was pretty excited to sign up for a ladies night out to wine, socialize, and do an arts and craft class. Friendly folks in a cool country setting.

They offer artistic workshops starting at $45 per day and have some summer workshops available. They offer art workshops that focus on foil embossing, sculpture, painting, construction art, dioramas, and more.

He's made paintings, collages, and sculptures that are so creative. The class sizes are small, and the price is really affordable. The studio owner has a lot of experience as a special education teacher. Both she and the other teacher my son has had really care about art education and helping kids tap into their creative side. If you are local to Pflugerville and interested in art lessons I encourage you to give them a try!

Additionally, they had things made of wood such as turned bowls and clever utensils. They had some beautiful ornaments, made out of ceramic, I bought one of those. It was $50. They had plates and platters and more things than I can name here. They even had jewelry. It's all handmade and beautiful. I look forward to coming back and buying some Christmas gifts. In addition to the art portion of the business, there is a workshop section where people can go to classes and learn ceramics or painting and other things. The woman who was working was very helpful and kind. I look forward to frequency this gallery regularly.

After seeing everything, I'm definitely interested in coming back to try one of their workshops at some point. It seems like such a cool, hands-on experience.

We work up north, and live in the burbs these days but a decade ago, the gateway area was my home for a good while and going to whole foods, my dentist, and Panera were all my jam, so it was a pleasant find to see WorkCastle in my last shopping jaunt in this shopping plaza. We tried out a parents night out this month with them, and I was able to get a tour with Donaysia going thru a lot of details over email, quick replies to get me in and quell all my concerns about a new space for our 4 year old toddler to see and explore. I also got to meet Maya and Eugene - co-owners and husband and wife of the amazingness which is WorkCastle, and I loved their conversation and care to the space, how they keep both parents and kids safe in this hybrid space. WeWork meets childcare, depending on your needs, they have it all from daycare program to drop in care flexibility! My kiddo has not stopped begging to go back to the "fun school" and I'm sure I need to find a Saturday one of these days where I can just indulge in peace and quiet and appreciate knowing that he is taken care of by the teachers and staff of WorkCastle, and has fun doing so. Plus, the entire time he was in their care, hubs and I got tons of pictures and updates via app so we never wondered what was happening! 10 stars and all my love to the team!
