The…read moreevent staff is just amazing, they were very flexible with what we needed to set up on the day of. If they did not give us this flexibility we would have been very stressed and strapped for time. The venue space is beautiful with a nice decorative door and beautiful windows surrounding the space. The lighting in the space is optional; there is nice intimate industrial lighting over the bar (tons of our guests commented on the beautiful setup of the bar!) and also nice industrial lighting throughout the space. There is also the option of using the brighter lights that are throughout the venue. The sound system and drop down screens in the place are great as well and easy to set up. Overall, this is an amazing event space to have an intimate party (we ended having about 80 people sitting) and will probably be returning in the future! Thank you to everyone at the Richmond Hill Art School :)

Absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere was so lively and fun but also a space where you could…read moreget tunnel vision focusing on your artwork. I loved the combination of wine and art, it's one of my favourite things to do and they did it in such a relaxing yet lively way. The instructor was great, she went around encouraging everyone's work and went at a good pace and taught us cool techniques. We came here for a birthday party with maybe 15 people, they had us all seated next to eachother and it was such an organized experience. I cannot wait to go again and try a different painting!

I liked the concept of being able to paint either solo or with a friend/partner. The instructions…read morewere clear and I love the concept of kicking back and doing something creative with the option to purchase an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink. The instructor was cheerful and friendly. The other thing that I found a little bit concerning is how close people are to one another, but I know that maximizing studio space is an art in of itself. All-in-all, still a solid experience and something worth trying at least once in your life.

We tried tots club, cooking class, and tots social here at CCSA. We love the care and attention…read morethey give to their kids to create stuff. Today in cooking class, we made pancakes and kid had a great time! With art, they teach us why they do certain methods what skill it teaches, like practicing dexterity or counting. Most of the kids in her class are 2-3 years old. We have been highly recommending CCSA, not just for toddlers, but also for adults and older kids!

Had an amazing afternoon at Petite Workshop! I went with a friend and we both created a terrarium…read moreeach, one big Totoro and one small Totoro. Lily, the owner, was able to provide us with instructions, tools, and demonstrations to help us through the creation of our terrariums. She was very nice and patient with us as we were trying to learn the different techniques to create our model. Cool tip that I learned was to not worry if your clay starts to crack as a little water can help soften your clay and makes it easier to smooth out the cracks! The establishment was also very clean and welcoming, also filled with a lot of miniature models created by the owner. We had two hours booked to complete the project and never felt rushed. I highly recommend coming to Petite Workshop! Be sure to make a reservation on their website at least a couple days in advance as the Petite Workshop was popping nearing the end of our session. Thanks Lily for the amazing time and we hope to come back again!

What a gem this place is! It sucks that this place was super hidden and their parking was a bit…read moreweird but they also had more parking available beside the plaza. They had a decent size playground and a bouncy castle, separate section for food and lounge which was super nice. Every guest was able to spread out. When you first walk into the place, you were greeted by a sign to take off all your shoes. On your right, there was the splatter room - more for big kids to express themselves if they didn't want to paint. In the left part of the shop was the pottery area. There were many different selections to choose from. The kids loved this but were discourage about their selections since they were only able to choose from the 1st shelf to the third. However, they still enjoyed it very much when they started painting. In the back of the place, they also sell espresso and coffee. Some of us were waiting for a bit and then gave up. There was only two people attending to everyone so it was okay. Do come here, you will definitely enjoy yourself! TIP: do not wear white anything. Don't even wear white socks! The teenagers had to take off their socks to go into the splatter room and end up stepping in paint. DO COME with the expectation to get dirty! ENJOY FELLOW YELPERS!

First time coming to a ceramics workshop and I honestly had a great time. I went on a Saturday…read moreafternoon with my sister and niece (She's 4 and thoroughly was excited!) Pieces to choose from ranged depending on the size of the figurine. There were different animals including figurines, cups, plates, piggy banks and something similar to a jewelry/keepsake box to choose from. - Cow figurine: 15.00$ - Pig figurine: 15.00$ - Mermaid figurine: 26.00$ These prices included the use of their space, brushes and allowed us to choose what colours to use to paint our figurines. There was no time limit either, I think we stayed for about two hours. The girl working there let my niece play in the play area as a party had just left, which was really nice of her. Anyway, we paid and she informed us they would call to let us know when to pick up our pieces. Approximately one week. She called exactly a week later and we picked up our items. We felt the paint was a bit thin so I guess next time we have to do multiple layers to have a better end result. The only con is the parking is limited and cramped. There's more in the back of the building though. Besides that, I would recommend this place, it's great for parents to bring their kids. It's such a fun and relaxing environment, worth giving it a try.

Great place with many classes to choose from. Very clean ant teachers are phenomenal.read more

I came in today at the Thornhill location and wanted to sign up. I tried calling but no answer…read more There was no one at the front desk when I came in so I walked into the class and the girl that was in the room pushed me with her arm to close the door on me.

Wow! So grateful to be able to send my son here. My daughter was cared for by Luz and Natalia for 5…read moreyears. She was reading and writing before entering junior kindergarten. Naturally I chose Humberland Montessori for my son. The care and love they give the children at the school is incredible. I really couldn't ask for more. Not only are they constantly teaching the kids manners with eating, sharing, they show the kids the proper ways to act and interact with other children and adult. You truly can not ask for better care for your child.
