Our teacher though I can't remeber her name (wine) was awesome... she was patient, she helped you when you needed it. It was almost like being in art class in grade school, but with wine, and good background music. We drank, we sang along, we painted, we laughed alot. It was like she was teaching very well behaved, five year olds who had wine. A few tips.. it's BYOB, it doesnt have to be be wine, a lady last night had patron and pineapple juice. Bring some snacks, and bring at least two friends. Its more fun that way! And most importantly, don't stress.. they give you a pre hand drawn template to keep you on track, all you do is add the color and detail!

Cozy atmosphere, chill aesthetic, and such an interesting concept. The milkshakes were absurd (in a good way)! My issue with the place is the insistence upon gratuity for a staff that wasn't very helpful. I never mind tipping workers who add value, but after we paid for our projects, we had almost no interaction with the staff. These projects aren't cheap and would be fairly easy to mess up for folks who aren't crafty. A bit more guidance would go a long way. A great concept like this demands well-trained, considerate, and accommodating staff.

You can bring your own drinks and snacks. A couple friends had special requests and they jumped thru hoops to fill them.

This is like Wine and Paint, except MORE, so much more…read more It's BYOB, which is great, because it's cheaper to bring your own drinks! You can also bring snacks. You walk out with a personalized sign that looks like you bought it from Etsy for a lot more than you paid, and no shipping charge. If you're not creative, don't worry. The Wine and Paint requires some creative or artistic talent, and then you have nothing to do with the canvas you bring home because let's face it, it's amateur even if you're good. This is different - you come home with a permanent decor piece or a holiday decor item added. $65 for these signs is a good deal! And it's a fun night out. Honestly, the fumes are a lot. But they have fans and can open the door, just need to ask. I'll be asking next time.

I came here on my birthday so excited to create something special with my family. My son had…read morerecently attended a camp here and so I was expecting it be enjoyable. I was worried about the high cost but figured the experience would be worth it. I felt there were many things that happened that could have been avoided with better planning on the owner's part. The place was extremely busy, which is fine. But if you are that busy and you have no pre-printed instructions on tables and only one staff person and the owner working, than most of our time was spent staring around in frustration waiting to see what our next step was and/ or trying to flag down a flustered associate for assistance. Several times, after waiting at least twenty minutes to get help, my husband went over and got paint himself ( there was no sign saying we couldn't) and while we were painting, the owner strides by and snippily questions us as to who got our paint and that we needed to prime first and it would most likely be messed up now. Ok, great. First and foremost, that instruction would be best presented ahead of time and in a kinder manner and chastising paying clients like they are toddlers isn't cool. We felt like we were annoying the owner every time we asked a question, we had no other option as there were NO written instructions presented. More staff, more instruction in a kinder manner, and less attitude from the owner would have really changed our experience. We liked our creations but the overall process and our experience at this AR Workshop North left a bad taste in our mouths and was a bad experience on my birthday. We will not be back and would definitely not recommend it.

Our first experience with them 2 years ago was great, it was done at a good pace, party size was small and intimate. You had time to ask questions the artist could and would stop and give you some Individual attention if needed. Now the experience we had last night was not good. We had a full class there was 6 couples in total. Our canvases were not ready when we arrived, we stood in the lobby and didn't have direction on what we needed to do or goad there wasn't anyone to greet us. So we decided to walk in and stood there until someone gave us a spot to sit in. She apologized for running behind as we had to wait for her to outline 12 canvases, she said the class size blew up at the last minute and they didn't have the time needed to be prepared ahead of time since they had to make an emergency supply run. Not a big deal! 45min later we start the actual instruction she said it would be speed painting techniques. The instruction went so fast that no one in the class could keep up, at one point someone spoke up and said we aren't ready as we were all several steps behind. What should have been 2hrs of painting and instruction turned in to a 1hr and 15min painting class. We all felt rushed and overwhelmed with the pace she was leading us at. My wife asked for support/help at the end once several couples left. She stopped by for a second but really didn't offer much support she left her board with my wife for reference but went back to cleaning up from the class. Overall it was not the same experience we had the first time, as we didn't feel we were given the same level of care or time to walk away with something we would be happy to hang up in our home. Overall we didn't have a good experience lastnight and as a small business I feel that there roadblock of not being ready for our class affected us and the quality of our experience as they rushed our class to finish on time as the previous class ran late so ultimately we suffered from that. And I don't feel they took the proper steps to make the moment right. We are unsure if we will reserve a class with them again.
