It was great to be able to support our favorite theater while also supporting this wonderful small business!! The paint night was a lot of fun and Emily did a great job of guiding us, even though we had an array of experience levels from very beginner to moderate painting skills. She created a sample painting from two pictures I sent her that I took on a recent vacation. I was so happy she was able to do that so I could have another keepsake from that trip. During the paint night she did another version of the painting along with us so we could paint step by step together. We also had the chance to look around the store while we were there and they had a ton of cool locally made items, from knitted pieces, dishes, stickers, and even furniture! This would definitely be a great place to shop for gifts!
