I'm really impressed by his broad versatility, but also how he helps you narrow your focus to what you want. You can totally see how passionate he is about art, and he's eager to share everything he knows to help you get to where you want to be creatively. I was pretty blown away when I learned that he's published his own extensive teaching material. The way he breaks things down to their simplest elements makes it super easy to understand and follow his class. If you're looking for an art class, I can't recommend his enough.

Instead of just slapping paint on the canvas, we went through the process with traditional techniques (research and development, sketching drafts, transferring the enlarged sketch onto the canvas, more research and development for color schemes, perspective, lighting, composition, and we even pulled off fish eye lens camera angle). Jake is not just a dime-a-dozen art teacher. He is thorough and professional receiving an A+++ in my opinion.

We tried Tipsy Picasso two years ago and were disappointed. We assumed it was a one‑time failure,…read morebut we were wrong. I'll keep this in three sections: Professionalism, Instructing and Teaching, and Cleanliness and Safety. Professionalism -At any job, sobriety is expected. The name Tipsy Picasso suggests a drink during class, not running outside to shotgun White Claws with your "homies". It is disrespectful to the people who paid to learn something. This is a job, not a frat house. -Your employee was doing her own art piece while also expected to work. If she is the assistant, she should assist. Instead, she looked as confused as everyone else. -Supplies were a mess. Mosaic pieces were unsorted. Paints were clumped, empty or lacking colors. Grout was not mixed correctly, even though the instructions are printed on the packaging. The whole setup looked rushed and thrown together for quick cash. -I should not have to ask more than twice for basic items. ADHD is not an excuse. Handle requests when they are made. -Anything involving water was a disaster. Grout water was filthy. Paint water looked like chocolate milk. Clean water is basic common sense. Dirty water makes both tasks nearly impossible. -You admitted your samples and guides were written by AI and that you did not read the guides. As an artist, that is embarrassing. As a business owner, it is unacceptable. -Talking about your night out or your loud friend is not professional. I came to learn and complete a project, not listen to personal stories.(She needs to learn the benefit of silence) Instructing and Teaching -A teacher is supposed to teach. I spent hours there and I still do not know when the teaching was supposed to start. -You said these classes are not for type A personalities. That is wrong. You offer a service, so structure is required. Sort the tiles. Prepare examples. Show how a mosaic layout works. Demonstrate grouting. Teach painting techniques. Walk around and give feedback. None of this is complicated. It just requires effort. -Your grout method was wrong. Grouting is simple with the right tools. Smearing it with a gloved hand and wiping with paper towels works, but it looks cheap. A sponge and clean water are standard. -Instruction only happened when someone in the room did something that reminded you to speak. Requests were repeated, ignored, or announced without follow‑through. Talking with your friends seemed more important than teaching. -Saying you are a good teacher does not make you one. We learned nothing and gained nothing. -You talked about going viral more than you talked about art. Use that energy to teach. Cleanliness and Safety -If a class involves tiles and glass, the table should be cleaned before painting so shards are not everywhere. -You gave tools to cut glass but no eye protection. That is unsafe. -Water should be changed regularly for grouting and painting. Your sink was unusable, and the excuse that it was an artist's sink was ridiculous. This is a business. Respect your space and your patrons. -Broken glass and tile pieces were dumped back into the bins of mosaic tiles. Stirring through sharp shards with a popsicle stick is not acceptable. -A dog wandered around while glass was being broken. Check his paws. A little organization, structure, and actual instruction would fix most of this, but none of that matters if you are more interested in hanging out with your friends than teaching. We left with two decent pieces, but we will finish them at home because we have more paint in our house than your studio. We will not return. Buyer beware.

Well now think twice about returning!!!

Do not go here. I…read moreattended what was advertised as an "Introduction to Clay" class for beginners -- specifically for people who have never touched clay. I brought my stepdaughter, and we were both really excited for a supportive, welcoming learning experience. Instead, we walked into something completely different. Nan, the instructor, seemed unaware of why new people had been showing up for the past two years. No actual class took place. She briefly walked us around the studio, gave a quick 10-minute demo, and then left us entirely on our own. When we tried to ask questions, she was passive-aggressive, dismissive, and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. It was clear the environment was geared toward experienced potters, not beginners. The class was supposed to run from 10am to 1pm, but there was no structured instruction at all. Everyone else in the room knew exactly what they were doing, while we were left confused and ignored. For $90 USD, this was incredibly disappointing. My stepdaughter and I had been looking forward to learning -- instead, we felt talked down to, unsupported, and eager to leave. If you're a beginner or hoping for an actual class, I strongly recommend going elsewhere.

They partner with restaurants and bars and have everything set up for the event: canvas, easels, paint, and brushes at each seat. Servers come by to make sure we have enough wine. (Funny how our paintings look more beautiful after imbibing some wine !) This painting event was special; at Tandem American Eatery (excellent food - one of our favorites) and a fundraiser for PACC (a favorite charity). Turnout was great, with eighteen participants, and our instructor was cool, helpful, and funny. This was not my first paint and wine time, and I love that the painters are always friendly with their table mates, which really enhances the enjoyment. A plug for Tandem: My friend and I arrived early for dinner before painting. My wings were as big and tasty as they always are and my friend said her bacon blue cheeseburger burger was as delivious as I told her it would be. The burger comes with the most delicious house-made potato chips. My pal loved them.
