Black light painting night!
Patricia S.

This was so fun! Highly recommend. There's food and drinks you can buy. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The energy was great. If you like scented candles, you can make your own candle as well. They do little contests during break times and I won a painting ! I had a really great experience here

You miss the days of college friendship fun? I do too? PWAT brought them back for me! I can not recommend this enough. A charity I am involved with hosted an event here. It began with a reasonably priced $7 for an 805 at the bar. I bought a raffle ticket which included the chance to win a free return class, and then I settled in. The instructor was fantastic! She gave us tips and easy to follow instructions from start to finish. There was plenty of attention from the employees if I needed extra paint or another towel to wipe my brushes. There is a screen to watch him or her draw, if you are sitting in the back. The best part, you are not happy with you drawing? There is a free class on the last Saturday of the month to return and fix it up! No charge, folks! This was the best $37+ I spent in a loooong time!

I always have a blast here, no matter how my painting ends up! All the instructors are great at working with everyone in step by step directions. They are comical & really make sure you're just enjoying yourself. They have fun little games throughout the night to give everyone a break. There is a cute little bar in the back for your drinks. Parking is not great, but then again nothing on Ventura Blvd has decent parking. P.W.A.T. is great for so many occasions such as a party, a date, or a girls (or boys) night out. I definitely love coming here & I frequently check their calendar online to see what paintings are coming up.

Black light Jellyfish

My wife and I scheduled a date night Friday evening. We took up the challenge of the black light jellyfish. I have to say it was a lot of fun but painting under black light is tough. The instructors were very patient; they had hair dryers everywhere to hurry up the paint drying and they served wine and beer. My wife did such a good job, I went to depot, bought some corner guard, a 6 ft strip of uv led lights off amazon and created a fun frame for it.

What a GREAT place!!! So much fun! Me and my boyfriend went for our 2 year anniversary and had a blast! We went for a blacklight night and it was so much fun! The atmosphere in there was great! So decorative with handmade paintings all around. The instructors for our class were AWESOME! They kept it lively and fun and had good timing so we didn't fall behind. It was nice that is was 21+ and they had a bar stocked with soft drinks, wine, beer and more! We got a free drink from them as we were there celebrating. We had a great time and will definitely be back! Thank you to our awesome instructors!!

Wow this was my second time here & it was just as awesome as it was the first time. Although Roxanne has been my most favorite artist so far. She made the class so relaxing & fun! She was so encouraging & it didn't feel like we had to paint the exact painting, "feel free to make it your own." I brought 2 newbies & they were already asking when we can do another one. Great job PWAT!

we were taken there for my wife's birthday it was my first time ever going to one of those places the instructor was fun it was a nice atmosphere music was good very cheerful and all 4 of us had a good time and our paintings came out very good the snack bar was nice selection the soft drinks were ok would liked Pepsi lol. I asked my wife if she'd like to go back she said yes and I would too it's also good for large groups and special occasions

Class is starting!

Super fun activity to do with friends! Our instructor, Rose, was awesome and all our paintings turned out so cute! One thing I loved about this place is that we could bring our own snacks. The drinks they offered there were great too! A broad selection of booze so all our friends' tastes were accommodated. Will be coming back again!

This was my first time here. What a wonderful experience! It was the most fun and relaxing 2 hours I have spent in a long time. With a glass of moscato and upbeat music, I could have spent all afternoon there. Absolutely no previous experience needed. The instructor, Amanda, is super fun and easy to follow. I highly recommend you choosing her for your next visit. Future visits and a private party is definitely in my future.

Kat T.

Best place ever! So much fun and everyone is so nice! I have been here twice and I wish I can go more often. Both times Rose has been the instructor and she is amazeballs! Don't worry about not knowing how to paint! At the end it comes out great and unique. Good energy, Vibe, and good people. Highly recommend it for girls night or date night.

My husband and I attended a private class where Esther guided us through making three bowls each from scratch. She patiently explained the process and worked closely with each of us to mold ours. Once our three bowls were done, we chose from a variety of glazes. Esther and her husband ensure you feel welcome, supported and most importantly, have fun! The location is in a quiet neighborhood in Thousand Oaks and love that they have clearly marked parking in front. This is a great experience if you just want to try something new, have a date night or for a girls night out. I had so much fun and can't wait to go back to try again!

From the moment I walked in, I felt both completely welcomed and quietly inspired. The space is beautiful and unpretentious, and the energy is something special, grounded, artistic, and full of heart. Esther and her husband (the dream team behind it all) are such gems. Down-to-earth, kind, and truly invested in making sure everyone learns and creates something meaningful. The class was hands-on in the best way. I got to really do the work, but with expert, patient guidance. I learned more than I ever expected to and left each session feeling so deeply revived. I actually looked forward to every class like it was a treat, and I almost cried when it ended. That's how impactful and soul-nourishing it was. I'll absolutely be signing up again. Also... bonus: Esther makes the most delicious homemade pizza. Warm, real, nourishing -- just like the entire experience. Run, don't walk. This place is a treasure. -- Tanya xo
