I have been looking forward to visiting Calliope Street ever since I heard about the wine slushies…read moremade there. I had finally made it in and it was worth it. As we walked in the store, my eyes wandered from wall to wall. There are displays, paintings, glassware and other items that grabs your attention. We were greeted and spoke with the owner of the store for a while. I ordered The Raven specialty slushie. It is made from mango, strawberry, lemon, rum and triple sec. It was delicious. I had to keep reminding myself to pace myself and not to drink too fast. It was that good. It was not too strong and tasted great. Calliope Street offers painting classes. You only need 4 people minimum for a private party. They not only provide slushies but also offer other alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages for purchase. Now is the time to visit and enjoy everything Calliope has to offer. Calliope Street will be closing after December as the owner is retiring.

I love Calliope Street! It's a fun paint and sip place in the Oviedo Mall. They can host small or…read morelarge groups for events such as birthday parties. I have been a couple times with friends! Process is simple. Make your reservation online. Show up at that date and time and all your supplies are included- canvas, paint, smock. The instructor walks through how to paint that night's painting. They have alcoholic and NA drinks available for purchase. You can bring in food if you would like. I would happily go back to paint again!

Our group came upon Easel Expressions through a deal offered from Livingsocial and we all has a…read morefabulous time! The deal was 35 for 2 people. This was my first time at an event like this. Tip: If you don't come across a deal such as we did, it seems like they offer discounts code from their Facebook website, so check that out! On Easel Expression's website, there is a calendar of which art piece each class will teach and you're able to reserve the one you want. On some days they have 2 sessions - one in the afternoon and one in the evening. We chosen a evening one to attend with our group of 6 and they were easily able to accommodate us. In addition to our group, there were two other classmate that joined the class. The store is bright and inviting as you walk in and the girls there including the instructor was sarcastic yet fun and also very encouraging. Tables are pre set with a blank canvas and brushes on the table with a bowl of water to clean for your brushes. There is a table against the wall with a 'ingredients list' of the number of pumps you'll need of each color that is lined up in huge jugs. "2 pumps of blue, 3 pumps of black, 2 pumps of white..." Very easy to follow. We all also got to wear cute canvas aprons to look the part! The art of the night was 'Hoot Hoot' and it was the painting of an owl. The instructor said 3 hours long! However our group completed the mission in 2.5! Score! She was very patient and taught us tricks on how to blend to make the owl more lively. Also you can add your special touches to your own painting (i added smiley faces to my shoot stars! :)) This would be an awesome place for birthday parties for kids, date night, and for groups too! One thing I was unsure about, was gratuity. There was no tip jar and it seems like the store was the instructor so I'm not sure if thats why there was none. Maybe someone could elaborate on a future review. I would totally do it again!

We had a Living Social deal about to expire so my husband and I ended up doing a class here…read morerecently. It was packed to the gills which I wonder if it was because of the deal. Thankful we arrived a little early so we could get our pick of seats. (Tip- Don't sit in front of the table with paint or you will be scooting back and forth all night to accomodate people) It's located off Orange Avenue in a small little plaza of businesses next to Full Circle Yoga. If lot is full, you may have to park off street. As noted on our confirmation(we picked our painting and booked online), they urged us to arrive 10-15 early . Check in was simply letting them know our names and then we were free to pick our seating. The studio did all of the work for the painters. Art canvases were set up and already painted the background color for the painting(dark blue to miror a dark sky) and plates of paint were set up under each canvas along with brushes and a bowl of water to dip brushes. They don't sell alcohol but DO allow guests to bring their own bottles for a $5 corkage fee. They do sell soda and water as well as bags of chips. So I would recommend eating beforehand because you will be here approximately 3 hours. The actual class instruction was good. Our instructor was very on top of staying on schedule so that we didn't run late. This kind of instruction may not be best for everyone especially if you are new to these kinds of classes. She would try to give guests a few minutes to catch up but would move on. But obviously you work at your own pace. Unlike other painting classes I have been to, the instructor was the only one that could help and give suggestions. She walked around occasionally to check on paintings but she was definitely stretched thin especially with such a big class. The painting was all free hand for everyone so we all had to draw exactly what she would draw on her canvas. I'm pretty amazed how well our paintings turned out. I loved the music playing- some 2Cellos but all current hits but classical style. Very relaxing. At the end, they did a drawing for those who checked in on FB and/or liked their page and gave away a free class. This was probably one of the better painting classes I have been to. Would definitely checkout again with friends.

As a fan of deals and fun experiences, this was totally in my element. We paid $25 a person with the discount and an additional $5 for paint balloons and $5 for two squirt guns filled with paint. We also got two canvases and we're able to pick our colors and got the room to ourselves. We had fun throwing the paint on our canvases as well as each other. They do provide bunny suits and visors to make sure that you don't get dirty. They also gave me a Ziploc bag that I could put my phone in and a lanyard so I could easily access it. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out and doing the splatter Quest!

We did a girls' night here last Friday. It was awesome! The…read moreowner heard we were bringing food so they had set up a table for our food items, in advance. That was so helpful. Picking your project in advance is required so they can have all your stuff ready. The fine details like colors and stains are decided on the spot. Funny enough, 3 out of 7 of us chose the same project! It was the holiday card display board. But even when that happens, as you can see with my picture, they all turned out very different. The class was booked for three hours and we were indeed there for 3 hours. They sell alcoholic bevvies for $5 and had a great selection. They have multiple bathroom stalls there that are very clean. They have a sink in the back with special soap that takes off any paint you might get on your hands/ nails. The staining process you gotta be careful with and wear the gloves. And the sanding process please be careful. A friend got a huge splinter which was bleeding. They helped us clean it up and put a bandaid on it so she could keep creating. Employees were super helpful and easy to flag when you needed help. But they pretty much roamed around the whole time and jumped in to help workout needing to be called over. I was impressed. They took group photos for us and we left with our beautiful projects! We can't wait to come back. They have events for kids as well.
