Her assistant Andrea (sorry if I misspelled her name) has such a wonderful personality and is a beautiful artist. I made a HUGE mistake with my painting and she came up with the most creative and beautiful way to fix my mistake and helped me turn it into a wonderful masterpiece that hangs on the wall in my house. Deja Hue is one of the best places I've visited for painting!!!!! I definitely plan to come back. Thank you making us feel special.

I've been to a number of paint n sip events and I know that it can be a bit chaotic depending on…read morethe number of participants. This particular event at Emilio's on September 30th was poorly organized. We were quite surprised when the craft supplies we received were different from that which were ordered. The event coordinator said that she emailed me twice, but could not produce proof of said emails and my job requires me to be at my computer much of the day and I know I never received them. Also, stated on the event description was the opportunity to buy a bow to hang the project, and there were no bows available for sale, as the event coordinator stated that the bow lady won't come out this far. Despite these hiccups, my friend and I enjoyed our time painting and hanging out together. If this business hopes to succeed which I hope they do, they need to tighten up their procedures a bit.

And do a lot of classes and other programs, and this is what they said was to kick off their summer program, and his name was the first one that they came up. And they consider sold out this past Monday, the same day that at least standing room only tickets were sold. But still some didn't show up so at least I got to sit through both acts as he did George Gershwin and Cole Porter for the second half.

I did the doormat class here! It was super fun and a great option if you already did a board class…read more The doormat turned out great and was a thick good quality mat. The instructors were friendly and there was many designs and paint colors to choose from. I love the location of the studio, it's right downtown near a parking garage and there's plenty of places to eat nearby. For a board class, I would love if they did those wine racks that you see on Etsy. Even if it was a little more money. Where you can hang the glasses underneath and put bottles or other items on top. Definitely worth doing! Tons of sign options!

The teacher, Alexander, was so kind and very thorough in his teaching, which made it easy for me to follow along :) Any questions I had or anytime I needed suggestions, he was immediately there to help. I also appreciated his efforts in letting everyone express themselves and not having to follow the class exactly, but more about having fun! I thought everyone working was kind (big thanks to the owner as well!!) and I am definitely coming back to paint more! This location is really spacious with different rooms for different experiences, with lots of great drink options (including THC/CBD options for non-drinkers like me who still like to have some fun). I thought the price was really fair considering you get to take a beautiful painting home after being taught in a prompt two hours (wish it could've been longer since I had so much fun). Definitely look for glow in the dark classes too, that was definitely a really cute touch!!

During its open days, the art, people, and overall atmosphere were truly impeccable. Many remarkable artists and memorable events were hosted there, leaving a lasting impression. After several lead staff members departed, however, the gallery began to decline. The owner who also operates the Oak Brook Surgical Center as a practicing surgeon ultimately shifted the model and now offers viewings by appointment only. It's a real loss for the community, given the creativity, quality, and vibrancy that once defined the space! Always enjoyed visiting when in Oak Brook!

We were able to leave our fear of failure at the door, due to Rebecca and the staff at Art and Antique. Wow we were able to enjoy our time, which went very fast each week, and the improvement, despite our talent, was a treat. Rebecca was very helpful yet let us test our lack of talent. I had a blast. It was nice having a friend join in, but was comfortable and looked forward to each weeks new test. You all should try this! It is fun and a challenge. Hey bring a friend or two and do the preview and then go from there. Life is way to short not to test your self even if you are past the half way mark on the hundred year mark. Joe
