It was so fun meeting Michelle, she's so happy to share and teach others, it really made the whole experience that much better. It's definitely a beginners space and the class was lacking some guidance/direction. We were allowed to make as much as we wanted and play around with whatever ideas we had. Four weeks later we picks up our finished products! Everything was glazed and looked so great! Overall, this class was silly and fun and would definitely go back again!

Although I find painting to be therapeutic, it is not a talent that I was blessed with. However, I…read morewas excited when my wife arranged a couple's date at Pinot's Palette with our friends. Arriving 20 minutes prior to our scheduled session, we placed food and drink orders at the bar (my wife and I opted to order two Old Fashioneds). We then proceeded to enter the classroom where we met our instructor (unfortunately I did not obtain her name). After giving us a few tips, we started the project. Our instructor did a great job of pausing after each step to ensure that everyone was on the same page and even walked around the class to offer suggestions (I felt like I was in university again). I'm so thankful that I only had one drink, the bartender working that evening made some potent cocktails (not a complaint). If you can imagine, remaining focused on painting when buzzed is a challenge in itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Pinot's Palette and the romantic paint selection was appropriate for a couple's night out. Also, the music selection was on point! We will definitely make a return visit for their candle making class!

Candle making was relaxing and the instructor was very helpful. Also, I had the Anaheim chicken taquitos from their menu and they were great.

I really enjoyed the whole experience and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a low key new experience to enjoy with friends!

They do display real fine arts of excellent artists, nice friendly staff. The place is cozy and…read morefull of arts to enjoy, big and small. What I noticed during art competitions is: staff associated with the art center participates in the competitions, also the patrons. In doing this, it doesn't feel right nor fair that most of the staff and patrons won an award for their art pieces. I wish they would set a day for themselves to show off their talents separate from the competitions. Better yet, have their own competition participated by just the staff and patrons. Hope this review does not discourage the art center, but encourage them to do better, there is always room for improvement.

Nancy is FANTASTIC! I met her when she was the instructor for many paint nights in Galt. I loved…read moreher so much that I followed her to a few more in Lodi. Everything is set up for the participants, plenty of space to work, and an all-around FUN time. She is full of energy and life! She explains each step and let's everyone know creativity and fun are the goals for the evening. Her pacing is excellent. She walks around with a head microphone to address the entire group and meet everyone's individual needs. She does all this while smiling and creating the most relaxed environment. Nothing is rushed and her positivity is inspiring. Again, I loved her so much that I purchased one of her original art works that I proudly display in my home today.

If you park near the Enterprise lot, the staff there will ask you to move your car (learned that the hard way), so plan to park on the street if possible. Now onto the class--overall, I had a good experience. The staff is super friendly and happy to answer any questions. They give all the instructions at the beginning, then you work independently while they check in with you periodically. Everyone has a different learning style, so this teaching method may work really well for some, while others (like me!) might prefer a more hands-on, step-by-step approach. Either way, I had a good time and I'm so glad I gave it a try!

I am so happy we hired Matthew for my cousins 30th birthday party, the paint event was definitely…read morethe highlight of the night. Everyone, young and old, and with varying levels of creative skill enjoyed painting along with Matthew. He arrived early to set up and wore a mask for the entire event. He was very conscientious in following COVID guidelines, which we appreciated because there were a few individuals 65+ in attendance. We chose the mountain scene which was great fun to paint. He was very attentive and helpful the entire event - refilling paint and bringing fresh brushes, etc. Highly recommend hiring him for your next event. Plus his price was the most competitive out there for private parties. Can't wait to have him back for our next get together.

Matthew was so easy to work with in terms of communication and providing direction prior to our event. Matthew also came early to set up the canvases nicely. Matthew was patient with each of us during our two hour session (and in a heat wave, with gloves and masks on!). The guy also cleaned up super fast, without a trace! Matthew was very engaging, and each of the participants commented about how he was the nicest instructor! Matthew also reached out a few days later to make sure everything went smoothly from our perspective. Overall, a wonderful person to work with who is "Making Things Interesting" and helping create positive memories in 2020. Thank you, Matthew!
