This was a nice experience for first time painting!…read more The instructor was clear in French and English, and participants were mixed language and men and women. There was a "club" feeling generated, and the presence of the restaurant right next door, from which we could get our 2 drinks (with coupons provided by Life of Art's Lisa) and take them to the studio made the atmosphere very convivial and gave a chance for participants to meet one another before the painting started. The painting I did wasn't the best but I was happy to give it a try and to see how others did too. Next time I hope to do better! I can recommend this experience to anyone who likes to find a new outlet for fun and some learning, and to meet some nice people.

I've never been to a team-building retreat before, are they always this fun? Our division spent the…read moreday in a cooking class and art class offered by the Ecole Club, and we had a blast. Our cooking coach was attentive, patient, and thorough amidst the 22 people swarming the kitchen and pulling him from all sides. Each station was given different menus, and he went through each of them quickly so that we could get started while he went around taking the time to explain the more delicate procedures of each recipe. The food came out absolutely wonderful, and we were each given a folder with each of the recipes inside. The art class was a bit confusing at first as the art instructor was vague with the instructions. We were again split into teams, and each team was given an assignment. I vaguely understood that the instructions were intentionally muddy as we were supposed to work in teams without knowing what other teams were doing, but the problem was that half the time it seemed we didn't know what we ourselves were doing. I didn't really understand what we were doing until the very end when we put all the parts together, and we ended up with a huge art project that our director (reluctantly) agreed to hang on her wall ("well, it will certainly be a conversation piece...I'm just not sure what kind of conversation..."). I have a feeling that it wasn't supposed to be a big surprise but that he had actually tried to explain what the end result would be, but no matter, it was fun and we were happy with the final product. What I found absolutely appalling was the ONE lady surrounded by a mountain of dirty dishes and cooking utensils cleaning the horrible mess we had made in front of a small conventional kitchen sink. Where was their cleaning staff?? The art class seemed to be in the same situation, and we did our best to clean most of the mess we had made. But seriously, ONE cleaning staff??
