    I'm so happy with how this turned out!
    Danielle D.

    I really enjoyed this place! I was part of a private event on a weeknight and had so much fun. The owner and her staff were so nice and helpful to provide instructions and make sure our projects turned out great. I loved the atmosphere and the examples on the walls so you can really envision what your project will look like. There were lots of options for wood stain colors and paint colors so you can really make your piece unique and match it your home decor as well. I made the Michigan Home sign for $25 and thought it was a great deal!! And we got to bring our own snacks and drinks too. I would definitely return and maybe make another sign as a gift next time.

    Easy to do projects in a relaxed atmosphere! Clean & open studio and brightly lit. Taller tables for standing or sit on a stool. Friendly, fun and you can even byob! Went to Make Studio today with a group of girlfriends. Michelle was our hostess & owner. She was super friendly & very patient. We all were allowed to choose from selected designs for our project. Because I have a hard time conforming, Michelle allowed me to alter the design to suit my taste. She had 5 choices for stain and dozens of colors to customize with our favorite colors. After staining the wood & allowing it to dry for 15-20 minutes, we applied the pre-cut adhesive stencil then got to work on painting. Once we removed the stencil, the paint had to dry. I chose to give my paint a distressed look with sandpaper, then we put on a final wax. A couple different hangars were offered. About 2 hours from arrival, we all left very happy with our projects!

    This was a blast to take part in! It was nice to have a BYOD (Drink) due to wine and canvas being…read moreon the rise and some people don't drink alcohol. I went with a decent size group and each one of us interpreted the painting that we had chosen a little differently. The instructor was our "guide" but not a strict coach which allowed all of us to use our creativity and make it our own. I enjoyed that the $35 price comes with all the essentials needed AND you get to take home your art. **This location also partners with a Yoga class. It's a shared space with multiple uses** One downfall I will say about this is, there are NO signs for telling you where Happy Our Art is. It was dark and rainy when we went and were only able to find the place because one of the ladies going the event had already arrived. We were guided by "Look for the sign that says Unwinding". I would certainly do this again! The class was fun, the instructor was friendly, and the space was perfect for a medium sized group.

    I went to Happy Our Art for a work event. It was a nice event where we all painted together and was…read moreable to listen to music and talk. The instructor was very nice and guided us through the art piece and helped the beginners that had several questions. Happy Our Art is beautifully decorated. The art pieces are hanging with different designs for maybe the next piece you make. The website gives a calendar of the different pieces so you can know ahead of time. (Perfect for people like me that can choose ahead of time and go if they are doing something that I find cool.) Again, as mentioned, the staff was very helpful and responded quickly to email and any questions we had before our work event. The only concern I have is the location. It is really hard to find. Go on Main Street. Turn onto 9th Street and off 9th Street turn left onto Holiday Terrace. Look for Unwindings sign and it is in the basement of Unwindings. Overall: I will give them 4 stars. The cost is a little high but it is a fun event and could be good for date night or work events. The location is hard to find but now that I know. Next time I go, I won't get lost!

    Paint your cares away! They provide everything you need to be your own Rembrandt. Canvas, brushes,…read morepaints, easels, smocks, they got it all. And if a cocktail or two steadies your hand or juices your mojo, they offer that too! Caring staff stand on a little stage up front with a microphone and cue you as you go. It's like a Peloton class for painters--only better because you can get booze! Perfect for groups, events, bachelorette parties, team building, and more. Go make something of yourself! :-)

    I recently attended a class at brush studio for the first time! I had only ever been in here during…read moreart prize but I had always heard great things and I have a friend that frequents classes here so I was looking forward to finally checking one out. We went to the paint your pet session that I believe they do once a month. We submitted pictures of our pet to them after booking (about 3-4 weeks in advance) and they provided us with a general outlined sketch that we could follow for our painting. Thank god they did this because I do not consider myself creative and this made the whole thing easier and less stressful. Typically these classes provide a step by step instruction led by a teacher/instructor but since these were all individualized pet paintings, they could not really do that. The teacher was great anyways and super friendly. She offered tips on colors and how to get certain textures or features. They were always available for questions and were walking around the room most of the time to help out. I was really happy with how my painting turned out. I felt like it really looked like my pup!! They are in a great location off of Ionia with many parking garages surrounding or you may get lucky and find some street parking. They also have a bar available with many drink options that you can pay for. I look forward to taking another class here in the future!
