She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

My daughter celebrated her 10th birthday with her closest friends and siblings. Jenn and Gary made it one of the best experiences the kiddos could have. The space was perfect for the 13 participants, a table where we were able to set up dessert, and extra seats for parents to observe. Jenn and the team walked everyone through the process and were very patient with a bunch of pre-teens. They "Taylored" the music to what the girls love, so there was lots of singing! We will definitely be back!

Several months ago I was looking for a place I could create some signs for our wedding in March '23 and happened upon their grand opening event. They are franchised by Board and Brush so you can find their listings, sign up for an event, and check out ideas. The studio is a great space with plenty of room to work. They have 5 tables which might be able to accommodate about 20 people. They are open for private events or public projects. If you haven't been to a board and brush before it's super simple and lasts about 3 hours. When you sign up you pick your project. They give you the wood and stencil - you pick the stain, colors and finishes. Then you get to work creating your board. They assist you throughout the process. There are even options to customize. They had lots of inspiration around the room that their family created in preparation. As of now their space is only 21 and over so gotta leave the kiddos at home. My fiancé and I will be back to create a couple pieces to fill the new home we established together

I truly enjoyed the class and will definitely be coming back to try out another class.

If you are looking for a custom project, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this company…read more I really have no idea what a workshop would be like because I couldn't get any information. I sent an email requesting information on getting a resin tray with shells made. I had an appointment with "Kesenia" set, and waited over 10 mins before someone named "Valery" joined. I had provided photos and specific info on what I wanted yet she asked about my project. Then she suggested I would need both a public and private workshop. Finally, I asked if I could meet with someone. I arranged an 11am appointment in studio with "Kay." Several days prior, I received a message from Art Magic Studio (no name) was asked if the appointment could be moved to 12pm noon the same day. After waiting several days before I receive confirmation that I would still be meeting with Kay, I confirmed noon would be acceptable. Then the day before I was to meet, I received yet another request to change, asking if I would "be able to come between 1pm to 4pm." Erm... This was for a consult. Why am I coming in for 3 hours? The message was unclear - apparently it was an open time for me to just come in any time during those three hours. And, I guess, hope that Kay was available to see me. Sorry but no. This is not how a business should be run, nor how you should meet prospective clients. The customer facing experience was the absolute worst (do your homework on the customer's request before you make contact), and do not presume my schedule can be moved around at random. I definitely do not recommend this company. Worst experience ever. (I really hate to post negative reviews but had I know what this experience would be like, requesting a custom piece, I would never have contacted this company. Save your time. Go somewhere where you will be respected as a client.)

I will also add that their prices and work are worth every penny. I would highly recommend this artist and veteran owned business to anyone interested in portraits painted with oil paint. The passion W.B. puts in his work is evident through this portrait and his other paintings. Support this amazing couple and their business.
