A fun and affordable place to do art! First time here and definitely not the last. My friends and…read moreI went to the Open studio to create art. It's only $6 for 4 hours and there are so many art materials available to use. You reserve your spot online and pay when you arrive. Open studio is self-guided, but the staff is there to help you find materials and offer tips if needed. They have Paint, brushes, wood, beads, rubber stamps, hot glue, construction paper, graphic duct tape, felt, ect. If you choose to paint on a brand-new canvas, there is a slight up charge in addition to the studio fee. The staff was friendly and gave us a tour when we arrived. I wish i knew about this place earlier because they have been around since 1996. I love their motto - "a community art and art therapy studio that believes art is for everyone and everyone is an artist." They have therapeutic art programs for individuals with special needs, inclusive community programs and other special events. A great place for all ages and art abilities to spend the afternoon creating an art project or work on a craft. I hope this company continues to succeed to empower wellness and therapeutic healing through creativity.

Didn't have much expectations coming here. My friend saw it on TikTok and we took our kiddos. Mine…read moreI feel was way too young to really participate. My friend's kiddo was a good age, around 3/4 to get what she was doing and appreciate it. Made reservations online since the website said it was recommended. I'm glad I did! Making reservations was very simple, didn't have to put any money down. Parking can be a little congested since it's in a plaza with other places. Walked in and was immediately greeted. Inside is really cool. The theme is all black and white, looks kind of like a cartoonish vibe, and then all of the crafts speak for themselves with colors! There was a birthday party going on in the back. No private rooms for birthday parties. They use different color cones to show your reservation and where you'll be sitting. Was told to look around the store and decide which type of craft we wanted to do. They had a lot of mediums: candles, bead bracelets, painting, mosaics, and decorating different objects with whipped cream gel and adding charms. The last one was definitely the most popular and most unique. Once you pick out your items, you go to the cashier and can either pay ahead of time or wait to pay in case you want to create something more than what you expected. We were told once we pick what we wanted to let staff know and they will tell us next steps. My daughter went with a small brush and we were then given a tray to pick out the charms that we wanted to decorate our brush. There were so many charms! All of them were included in the price but a few were only allowed to use one time once since it was a bigger charm. We were told to only pick out a few charms and can come back for more. Staff said whatever we don't use charm wise, to be sure to put it back where you got it. Unfortunately, there was so many charms, and with how busy and chaotic it was, it was really hard to put them all back. I would definitely recommend only grabbing so many. We were told you get to pick two different whipped cream gel colors. The gel when dry turns into a silicone like texture. When we were done picking our charms and gel, to let them know and they would come back to tell us how to apply and use the whipped cream gels. Unfortunately, two big parties came in and staff had no time for us anymore. We were pretty much on our own. Just winging it, which was a shame when you're spending $25 on a tiny little hairbrush to decorate and have no idea what you're doing. I think it would be better of staff to all at once just tell you what to do along with a demo how it all works rather than constantly having different touch points throughout. My friend and I winged it as much as we could. I definitely don't think we did it right. I noticed a sign that had different pipping tips for the whipped cream gel, again, a bummer we weren't told about this. The charms and beads are all along the wall and right up against the walkway and tables. So it was pretty difficult for people to try to spend time to look at all the charms, but also letting people by and also people are trying to sit in their chairs. Staff then came over and was great with apologizing for us falling to the wayside due to understaffing and the immense parties that came in. Kelly was very sweet and kind and took her time with us and taught us how to reapply the charms if we wanted to. Along with how to use the whipped cream gel. You then have to take a heat gun and dry your creation for about two minutes, but the longer you do it the better it seemed. Be sure to let your creation sit for 24-48 days to really cure. There is a bathroom that single stall in the back. We were bummed that the Photo Booth machine was down, otherwise we would've used it. When you cash out, you're supposed to turn in the receipt to show what you made. Kelly then put our items in a bag and again apologized for our experience and said coming on the weekday is a much better visit. Our reservations were at four, and we didn't think that it would be so busy, so use caution if booking on the weekends. A very cool unique craft place, that I'm sure can sustain itself with the area that it's in. We'll have to come back on a quieter day to really enjoy all that they have to offer. I would've given a 3 star, but if it wasn't for Kelly, taking the extra time with us and apologizing for our initial experience. She made the whole trip much better!

His enthusiasm is infectious and his teaching experience unparalleled. I've watched him jump from a 16 year old to a 89 year old and instantly focus on their needs and skill sets. If you are an experienced painter he will move you up another level (I've worked side by side with retired art teachers) and if you know nothing he will teach you everything you need to know. The paintings done by pure beginners of all ages are amazing. Look at his website and study the "gallery". You will see works by kids, first paintings and experienced artists. He has also developed a real sense of community-everyone is out having fun and trying to expand their talents and skill sets. Not sure, just drop by-everyone is welcome.
