The hardest part is picking your colors! Recently I came here for a candle making and wood workshop. Because the class was large, the staff did most of the work. I would have preferred to do more, but understand in the interest of time that's not always possible. They also have a little shops when you walk in where you can buy pre-made items or local Knick knacks.

They also have packages for wine nights and crafts for adults. Food and dessert can offered with your packages. The owner was courteous and introduced herself as you walk in. All the staff are super nice and pleasant in working with children of different ages. Also, the staff are skilled in creating some unique pieces of jewelry. They can be creative and help kids create some masterpieces. There is a main room and a mini tea room that are equipped with a wide range of supplies. A little overwhelming, but ask the staff and they can help you with your selections. I did notice the very tight space so having more than a small amount of people can be tough to deal with, and bumping into things or people will happen. From the looks of it, the prices are reasonable for the time spent here. Saves you a lot of money instead of throwing it at home...and don't forget the dreaded clean-up.

It was nice, we did a little cheese platter and brought wine and the instructors and staff were really helpful during the whole process. The place definitely makes the experience. Also you can look ahead on calendars to make sure you choose a date that you like the portrait. There are dedicated couple nights but we ended up choosing a painting that we liked. You come with yourself and your snacks/wine and they provide everything else! It's super easy and really fun. I would definitely recommend it to try it out. It's a fun experience and something different to do than the usual.

She had been an…read moreavid painter years ago and I figured this would be a good way to spend the day with her and do something she enjoys! We signed up for a Sunday brunch class! I unfortunately cannot remember our instructors name (she was super sweet with teal hair) but we had a great time! They studio for brunch classes sets out bagels and orange juice but I arrived with some prosecco and peach nectar for some bellinis ;) Everything you need is already set up - your canvas, brushes and paint so all you have to do is grab an apron and be ready to paint! However, me being somewhat of a perfectionist found that I really wished I had some smaller brushes that what we were giving for some detailing, but that is just me. The instructor did a great job of explaining what she was going, giving tips and going around and helping anyone who need it. She made everyone feel like they were Van Gogh or Monet and there was no wrong or right way to do it. I will say that the set up of the class is maybe not the best, you are in long tables with 4 canvases set up on each side, so if you are sitting toward the back, furthest away from the instructor it may be difficult to see, not just distance wise, but you have other people's canvases and heads in your way. Definitely come early - the studio is open 30 minutes before class. I arrived 15 minutes and was the first one there, so I made sure my mom had a great seat in front of the instructor. Overall a great first paint and sip experience and I would love to come back again and paint more!

I highly recommend any classes offered as well as drop ins and workshops.

She really was a rude and nasty misandrist. The unspoken problem appeared to be our differences in politics even though we never discussed these. In fact I bent over backwards to avoid any contoversial subject. I was learning how to hand sew Revolutionary War reenacting garments and it is my opinion she resented this hobby. In addition, she would often make disparaging remarks to me in front of the class. I wrote a complaint letter to program director and never even received the courtesy of a response. Putting my interactions aside, the facility itself is completely run down. The bathrooms are disgusting, the hallways and offices have musty odors, there is no adequte air conditioning during the summer, the exterior grounds are a mess, and the building would likely fail a fire safety inspection.
