Stacy, the owner, taught the class, and made me an artist! She is very knowledgeable and fun, which made things so much easier. I actually felt RELAXED while doing a new activity and the final product is something I'm proud of! I took my mom with me and she enjoyed the night so much! I will be coming back. Who knows, maybe Stacy will turn us into artists!

Stacy is wonderful. My coworkers and I usually go every other month for an outing to get us together and relax. We normally go to the location at Eclipse de Luna in Dunwoody, you can order drinks and tapas. This location is wonderful too and you can bring a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers, whatever you feel like. I also have gone several times for my birthday. They are very flexible too and can make accommodations for your group. Just let them know ahead of time.

So much fun!! The class offerings were very worth it. I visited for a small galentine's celebration…read moreand we chose the string art class. Now, I will say...string art is a loud process. It's a good thing that the string art class is significantly smaller than the terrarium class, because there is A LOT of hammering. The employees are super helpful and supportive and I created a finish or diff that I'm very proud of. I love that the class is BYOB, and my favorite thing was the fact that if you don't finish in time, they send you home with extra string. I definitely needed it. But I recommend both classes to everyone. Perfect for the girlfriends!

Honestly, this was so much fun! We didn't exactly know what to expect or how this would go but once…read morewe got there we were glad that there was enough instruction to walk us through but also not too much that we didn't have time to enjoy and connect. We did a date night here and pre-booked/purchased through Groupon which gives a nice little discount so check that out first. It's BYOB (Wine & Beer) plus snacks so we stopped at Whole Foods (right down the block) to pick up items so we could enjoy ourselves. Make sure you bring any cups, plates, napkins, etc that you will need for your bev & food because they don't have any of that for you. The experience: It's a good offering for the price, you get to have the whole experience which is fun & creative and you get to leave with something. You pick your container from their options when you first walk in (we picked one large container and then 3 small containers) and then you get either 3 small succulents or 1 large and 1 small succulents (which are more than enough to fit in your containers) they had a variety of colored moss, color rocks, and some cute little decor items (or bring your own). Overall, it's a great price, great experience and you can customize it as much or little as you like. We can't wait to go back!

I was having a casual morning walk with a friend who likes art so it was such an easy decision to make. As soon as we walked in we were wowed by the local art. I saw some coffee in the back and made my way to the coffee shop where I was greeted warmly by Krista who is awesome! I tried their Spring Fling latte iced which has lavender and vanilla with whip cream and the lavender flour on top. Some people don't like the lavender flour, but I love it! It actually feels calming because of the lavender in it. My friend and I had some great conversations with the barista and a regular and it felt like such an awesome community space. I will definitely be coming back here to both see the local art and have more coffee!

I've had some good experiences here. Always fun to paint with my work friends, and we've done…read moreseveral paintings. Some instructions are better than others. Some can't paint the painting to look like the 'model' painting and aren't helpful with technique. It's a crap shoot based on who you get. They are all nice. I was there 2 days ago, and the experience was fun with my group. Today I am so disappointed. My niece and I were so excited to do the Eiffel Tower painting because we've just been to Paris together, and the silhouettes in the painting look like us. We've been telling everyone we were doing it and have been planning for 3 weeks. At 2:00 today they let me know not enough people signed up and they canceled the class. We are so bummed. Maybe they wouldn't have made a lot of money tonight, but they lost all of our future business. I'm sadly looking for new places to paint.

For a gift giving emergency, I turned to Yelp which brought me to Spruill Gallery & Gift Shop not…read moretoo far from Perimeter Mall. I had no idea this place existed but I'm so glad I know about it now.  Juxtaposed next to two eateries in modern buildings is a historical old house full of delightful locally crafted goods. Maybe the majority of offerings were ceramics but others included jewelry, ornaments, bath and body works, notebooks, teas, and way more than I could list. Some items were on the expensive side while others were less than I would've expected so I think you should be able to find pieces in your desired price range. Make your selections with care since I saw a sign by the register saying that there are no refunds. I was elated since I found perfect presents at Spruill and could wipe my brow and exclaim "Whew!" And just to wrap up (pun intended) this story, the recipients seemed to really like their presents, hooray. Friendly service. There are spaces reserved for gallery visitors near Fogo de Chão's entrance but you can also just park elsewhere in the parking lot. Walk around to the front door on Ashford Dunwoody Road. Shop local!

I've driven by this gallery countless times and finally decided to stop in this past Saturday. They…read morewere doing a holiday market selling goods and wares from local artisans. There are four or so rooms and they had multiple tables set up in each room with various items. They didn't have sellers at the tables so you were free to peruse without feeling pressure to buy. They had a nice selection of items - everything from cutting boards, kitchen napkins, jewelry, candles, and mugs to puzzles and artwork. The prices ranged. Nothing was crazy expensive but not necessarily cheap either. I found a couple of things I liked but nothing I really wanted. That along with the complete lack of reception from the people working there and I passed. (Note: A simple hello doesn't take much. You don't need to chat me up.) I'm glad I came to check out the holiday market but I don't feel like I ever need to return. As far as getting here, you can see the Gallery from the street. They're next to Fogo de Chao and across the street from the plaza with Walmart and World Market. They have a few designated spots in a lot behind the gallery and there's more unassigned parking a little farther back.

It comes with all the equipment you need (sound, projectors, kitchen with warmers and microwaves). They arrange the room, which seats up to 120, how you want. The facility is extremely affordable. I wish there was more parking, but there are other areas nearby to park. The people there are very helpful and kind. If you clean up to their liking after the event, you get your deposit back within the following week. I'd do another event there in the future.

A RELAXING FRIDAY NIGHT!…read more Tonight my husband and I attended one of the First Friday concerts at the center. These concerts occur the first Friday of every month in the upstairs ballroom. They are from 7:00 until 9:00 and feature a variety of artists. Attendees are encouraged to bring their dinner and eat during the concert just as they do during the summer concerts. Tonight's group was "Out of the Rain" featuring Ron HIpp and Carol Statella, a folk duo. It is apparent that they have been together for a very long time because they just flow together seamlessly. I enjoyed tonight's selections which included folk classics and a country waltz. It was great "feel good" music that allows you to forget about everything but sitting back and fully enjoying the moment. It was a great way to spend a Friday evening!
