Chef Harold was extremely informative and a great instructor. We really appreciated his time and attention to all of our questions. The only downside was initially. The music was pretty loud in the venue and it was hard to hear what the chef was saying. Eventually it was turned down and everything was so fun. I would recommend this to anyone. The venue was also very good with service at the counter. Their selection of brews was quite delightful!

The night before the class was to take place, I received notification that there was a "time" change...to the next week. That is not a time change, that is a DATE change - which is something else entirely. Oh, and I don't live in Atlanta...I flew in for this event. Needless to say, the class was cancelled as they had nothing else to offer me as a substitute. Not using CLASSPOP ever again.

I came here for a date night last weekend and had such a great time painting these little Pikachu's…read morefor Valentine's. The paint was pre-provided for us which was really nice and our instructor was also super friendly and attentive. I will say that you only get 2 hours per session which was enough for this simple painting but I could definitely see not being enough time for more complex landscape paintings. So, if finishing your painting here is important I would keep that in mind. In addition to the painting, we also got food and wine which was decent but definitely not the highlight of our time here.

I attended my first class with the Paint Bar yesterday and couldn't be more delighted. I'm…read moreimpressed how they were able to quickly bring the program online in light of the unexpected challenges of the virus. They even offered to deliver the supplies until shipping was available so people could participate. The teacher broke the steps down to simplify a complex painting, and carefully demonstrated each of the techniques. They even broke the class out into breakout rooms so friends could work together from home. Overall, it was a terrific experience.

The Paint Bar is a lot of fun, and no matter how little talent you have (I can't draw a circle…read morewithout Powerpoint), you can indeed create a masterpiece (ok, maybe it will only sell for $2 at your garage sale in 10 years, but your very small children will be impressed). I suggest arriving 30 minutes early, so that you don't get stuck in the line waiting for paints and can focus on importing things like buying a glass of wine. It also helps to be seated near the small stage in front so that you can easily see the example completed painting on the wall. They rotate through a selection of different ones, which are specified on the website when you buy your tickets, so don't pick a class that will paint a lame one like the happy dolphin! Also, you need to see the instructor, who will demonstrate painting an additional example on the stage. The instructor was quite funny, and fairly clear in explaining the individual steps one by one, although she went pretty quickly. The full 2 hours are necessary to complete the painting, and if you fall behind, you will miss some of the tricks or paint combinations. If you bring a date, be sure to praise how much better his or her piece is than yours, over and over again. Artists are sensitive, and who knows, you might get lucky later. If you have talent, maybe your painting will end up in Somerville's Museum of Bad Art, and not in a garage sale!

I had the BEST experience at Craft Zone and had to leave a review!…read more My friends and I went to craft there and it ended up being one of the most fun outings we've had in a long time. A huge reason for that was Haley -- she is truly one of the kindest, friendliest people I've ever met. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel so welcome and excited to be there. Haley was caring, compassionate, attentive, and incredibly warm. She helped us with everything we needed and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people who come in and wants everyone to have a great time. She honestly made the whole experience so special -- we love her! I LOVED making my phone case and I'm already planning my next visit. I was so impressed by the huge variety of crafts they offer -- from tufting, to Cricut projects, to making small hot pots and so much more. There are so many creative things to try! I will definitely be coming back all the time to craft here. If you're thinking about going, DO IT -- you'll have an amazing time. Thank you Craft Zone and especially Haley for such a wonderful experience!

We all laughed so, so much. The bride said it was the highlight of her weekend! Nobody really knew what to expect - most of us can't draw at all - but it was all relaxed and lighthearted and proved to be a great way to gently bring some quieter girls out of their shells. Several girls even came away thinking they might start life drawing classes! If you're trying to come up with a good bachelorette activity, I'd urge you to consider this.

She was upbeat, informative, respectful to both the sketchers (us) and the models. Made sure there were no photography during class unless it's through them to make the models comfortable. (takes guts to be nude in front of a bunch of people drinking and looking at you!) She brought out the artistic sides of everyone in the room, guided us through different sketching exercises (1-3-5 minute sketch sessions) so we're busy drawing instead of JUDGING what we were drawing. such helpful tips! I think we were all VERY impressed with our own artworks! I really thought I'd be drawing a little more than stick figures before coming here. I had a blast and this would make any gathering unique, fun and explorative! I had an amazing time!

Customer service, friendly. Rules and polices, AWFUL. They make it impossible to rebook. Had to…read morecancel due to an illness and was given a time to rebook, but the time wasn't enough, especially with the holidays around. They were not willing to be flexible to allow for rebooking. It's truly the easiest way for them to KEEP your money. As parents with NO VILLAGE and no one to watch our children we are extremely limited with timing. Very disappointed that I couldn't experience this. And very disappointed that I couldn't enjoy this. I gave the rep the exact date and time that I wanted to book for but because it was "out of their window", they didn't allow me to book. That said, if you ever think you're going to have a MINOR inconvenience. DON'T BOOK HERE!!!

However, we were very surprised by the drink prices. The board only listed single prices, and there was no pricing shown for doubles or larger drinks. After looking later, I saw that the full price breakdown is on the website, but I wish we had known this before ordering. Being charged $29 for an espresso martini, and 29 for a mule served in a plastic cup with no garnishes was pretty outrageous and definitely took us by surprise. I understand now when I put my apron on and found 3 empty nips in the pocket why this happened. Clearly the person that wore it before me had been before and paid too much! Overall, the painting experience and staff were great, just would wait next time and get a drink at the capital grill for the same price after.

She had everything up and ready before the start of class, and she didn't exhibit any annoyance when our large group ended up getting settled late. She also didn't seem to stress when our class ran long. I've done a few Paint Nite type activities and kind of missed being in an actual classroom where I could refresh my cup of paint water at my pleasure. But it was nice that we didn't have to worry about clean up. I don't feel particularly comfortable with a brush in my hand, but even my painting looked pretty decent when class was over.
