To be honest, I have avoided going to a paint and sip for all my adult life due to my lack of…read moreartistic talent, and concern over being embarrassed in front of other people. My daughter decided I should step outside my comfort zone and give it a try, so she took me to a class at Pinot's Palette in Kenwood for my birthday. Well, she was right because I had a really good time! Luckily, we went on a Monday, when there was only one other painter there, so the instructor could go at a slower pace. When we arrived, we were greeted and then ordered a drink before the class started. There was just one employee there who was the cashier, bartender, and our painting instructor. She was very patient and helpful when I struggled occasionally. Because I was new to painting, I didn't get to finish all that I hoped, but I did take home a painting that I'm pretty darn proud of!

They have art gallery to view spotlights on artists and pretty sure they have studio space that artists can rent if they don't have room at home.

I wandered into the World of Beads the other day because a sparkle caught my eye. I tend to get…read moredistracted by sparkles and I wandered into one big store full of distractions. My boyfriend said, "I'm going to wait outside". The store is filled to the brim with beads. Beads of every size, every color, and every style. I especially liked the Swarovski crystal beads because they were extra sparkly! I think they put these beads near the window to draw people in and I guess it must have worked! The counter in the middle of the store has all of the hooks and clasps you need to make your own jewelry. They also carry a large amount of twine, wire, and any other type of string you could need. The class schedule is impressive. Lots of techniques for lots of applications. Some are solely dedicated to the Swarovski beads! The classes are offered at this location and also at the other in Tri-County. For a full class schedule visit the website.

This is an organization that has been around for 30 years helping women express themselves through…read morewriting. They offer a variety of classes in all types and genres. Women of all ages and backgrounds attend their classes. The focus is more on expressing yourself and putting your thoughts and memories on paper than on grammar and word choice. I recently attended a mother/daughter workshop with my mother and grandmother. The two hour workshop focused on these relationships and what we have learned from the other in the relationship. The instructor that led us was kind and even shared some of her own writing. We would write for a bit and then share our ideas and writing and then write and share etc... The stretches of writing were about 15-20 minutes, not to long for a novice like me. The other women in the workshop were incredibly nice and there was a lot of laughter and a few tears. Their facility is huge and is on 2 floors. They have a variety of areas with different types of furniture to best meet your writing preference. At the workshop, they had drinks, fruit, and some pastry available if you wanted it. There are several bathrooms. Parking is in a public lot about 100 feet down the street. I am unsure of the prices of their regular classes, but looking at the price of this workshop, I thought they seemed a little high. On the other hand, if you are looking for a place to express yourself and bond with other women, it would be worth the cost. I am not a writer and will probably never attend another class here. But, if I had a passion for writing, I would spend multiple nights a week in their classes.
