In addition to their art and craft classes, there are movie nights, poetry evenings, live music performances and so much more. Definitely a bonus to the surrounding area, and a welcoming sight. The artist residency program offers two individuals a private work studio, after hours access, and a spotlight of the artist's work on social media platforms and gallery exhibition. The creative reuse center, Oh, Scrap! encourages artists to recycle and reuse materials that have been collected, or donated and provides a great outlet for ones creative imagination.

We were having a surprise 60th birthday party for our friend and we're able to bring in catered food and our own alcoholic beverages. They were very accommodating to us, allowing us to set up a little early and then allowed us an extra hour (which we paid for) after the 2 hour painting session. The instructor was very nice and guided us through the painting process step by step. She had an assistant who made sure we were well stocked with paper towels and paints. In the end everyone had a respectable painting to take home. Some of us are more talented than others, but it was fun nonetheless! If you're looking for something different to do to celebrate a birthday, this is a great option. They also off a full calendar of events you can attend solo or with just a friend or two. They have many different classes to choose from. And of course they have holiday themed ones as well.

There is a BYOB option and if you plan to drink you are required to sign a form that says they didn't give you the alcohol. Most people bring wine, however you can bring beer, mixed drinks, or non-alcoholic beverages. They provide cork screws and plastic cups in addition to everything that you need to paint. Food is also allowed, however space is limited and there is not a lot of table space after canvases, paint brushes, and paint are all laid out. The reason that they received a 4 out of 5 rather than a 5 is because the instructors are really a hit or miss. While all of them do display artistic abilities, some are just better teachers than others are. If you find an instructor that you like, try to stick with them when you sign up for classes online.

My sister-in-law has been wanting to try one of these painting classes and I saw that they had just opened a new place in Irwin. So, we decided to check it out. The class was on a Friday night in June and was supposed to be from 7-9pm. The class was nearly full....since there were several small groups of ladies, as well as a bridal party of about 10. Luckily, we got there before most people and were able to get seats up front. This is a BYOB event, and it appeared mostly everyone (including us) brought a bottle of wine (or several) and snacks. The instructor was very nice. At the beginning, she gave us her credentials so we knew she was an actual painter with experience and not just someone they pulled off the street. She reviewed what we were going to paint and went at a nice pace. Actually, probably a little slow for me but it's better than her rushing through. She also gave us free reign and "artistic liberties", so the paintings didn't all have to look exactly alike. It was a fun event and I would love to go again. Biggest pro...the class was only $20! And I've seen other places as high as $35 or $40. The only reason I didn't give this event 5 stars is the following: It was waaayyy too long. Supposed to be over at 9pm; we didn't leave until well after 10:30. The biggest cause for this was when we got there at around ten minutes til seven, the instructor was just starting to set up. She did state that she had everything set up, but then a last-minute birthday party booked, so they had torn all of her things down, and she had to get them all back out. Not very professional of the company. We didn't really get started until about 7:35-ish. Plus, with a big class and people asking her questions, I think it just took longer than anticipated. Also, it was a bit unorganized, which I do give leniency to since it's a new gig. I signed the two of us up online and also paid online. But, really, how was the instructor to know? We could have just strolled in from the street and said we paid. The site offered no receipt or confirmation number to take with you to the event. I asked the instructor if she received our payment, and she stated that she gets paid from the company, and frankly has no idea who paid and who didn't. Overall, a fun night out. Would go again!

This tearoom is located in downtown Greensburg within a charming historic 1880's Queen Ann house. The house serves as an event space hosting afternoon tea events. The teas are themed around fun topics, seasons or holidays. I've been coming here for years with my Mom and her friends and have had the pleasure of attending a few of the Christmas and Mother's Day teas. During the events you enjoy a full afternoon tea at a beautiful table setting. This means attendees get to enjoy a continuous serving of a few flavors of hot tea, paired with a few courses of food. There's a starter, followed by a tiered tea tray with scones & frosted grapes, classic tiny tea sandwiches, and baked goods. The tiers are consistent, but each event has unique seasonal flavor features. The most recent tea I attended was a special treat to celebrate this past Mother's Day. The tea options were raspberry peach, raspberry apricot and a Darjeeling, the "champagne of teas." The courses started with a cheesy potato bacon soup. It was flavorful and delivered in just a big enough serving to not feel overly indulgent. The starter was followed by the three-tiered plate, dressed in beautiful flowers. The scone featured a raspberry jam center. The tea sandwiches were really well done with delicious savory fillings. The ham sandwich was highlighted with a champagne mustard, the egg salad was spiced with curry and the chicken salad had added flavor with almonds. The top tier had a few tempting baked treats including a delicious pineapple coconut cookies. The tea ended with a cupcake and a gift of flowers in a vase. In addition to serving tea in a beautiful parlor area the space, the Victorian Lady is also a gift shop, with goods on display throughout the various rooms of the Victorian house. All kinds of beautiful tea-themed and Victorian-inspired items are available for purchase, like teacups, food items, jewelry, stationery, and home decor items. I highly recommend spending your next special celebration the Victoria Lady tearoom. Just don't take my reservation spot
