The best meal I've had in Savannah and you get MORE than you pay for. The building that you arrive…read moreat is understated and small. Don't let that deter you!! Its intimate and inviting when you walk inside. Chef Joe and his wife Barbara were warm and greeted us right away. There were 20 people that came tonight, a full house! Chef Joe went around the room and personally introduced himself to each person before the cooking began and tried to get to know each person a little. Sitting at each dinner setting is a menu detailing the night's courses and the recipes for all of them. Make sure to bring a camera to take pictures and a pen to make notes. Chef Joe adds a lot of details as he cooks and gives suggestions on variations of each dish. Tonight was the Dinner Party and our menu consisted of Crab and Corn Chowder, Roasted Rack of Sage Rubbed Pork with Madeira Jus Lie, Hoppin' John, Rustic Macaroni and Cheese, Stewed Okra and Tomatoes, Southern Collard Greens, Hoe Cakes and Peach Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. I have to add here that I don't care for seafood, anything that has a fishy taste in the slightest is not for me. I was nervous about trying the Crab and Corn Chowder... but it was delicious! I couldn't believe how amazing (and non-fishy) it was especially considering he used a seafood stock to make the base. My mouth waters even thinking about it. It will take too long to go over each dish but each one was sooooo good. My favorites were the Okra, Mac n Cheese, Sage Rubbed Pork and Peach Cobbler. I've never had cobbler so good in my life. I cannot wait to go back for more and I cannot wait to make all these dishes myself. I have a feeling a few of these recipes are going to go into heavy rotation and make appearances at pot lucks, holiday dinners, and parties....

Attended a paint party at their location last year for a bachelorette party. Since we had a larger…read moreparty they were able to accommodate on location on Tybee Island for my most recent trip. I booked for the off location 4 weeks in advance. Hired the Georgia Girl Art Paint Parties at our Airbnb and it happened to be on a rainy day it was spectacular. We had 16 people including the kids. They arrived timely and exceeded our expectations and everything was cleaned up like they were never there. I was also able to ship all the paintings home a little extra but it was great as we had no extra room in our luggage. These parties provide a creative and fun experience for individuals or groups to gather and paint together. The business showcases a variety of themed paint party options, such as floral, animal, or landscape paintings, which can be customized based on the participants' preferences. The parties are suitable for people of all ages and skill levels, as the artist provides step-by-step instructions to guide participants throughout the painting process. Ability to book private paint parties for special occasions, such as birthdays or bachelorette parties. Additionally, Georgia Girl Art provides mobile paint parties, allowing them to bring the painting experience to various locations.

From the owner: Georgia Girl Art Paint Parties offers a whole different kind of art experience that is more like…read morefun art, not fine art, and is suited for pros and to those who has never picked up a paint brush. We provide step-by-step instruction and supplies for you to create beautiful original canvas artwork or custom door hanger for your home while having a fun day in or night out! You provide the beverages, snacks, music, and creativity! Consider a paint party for your next Birthday, Girls' Night Out, Kids' Party, Church Group, Date Night, Corporate Team Building, Wedding Shower, Sorority Party, Employee Appreciation Day, Bachelorette Party, Fundraiser, Baby Shower, Holiday Party, Organization Party (Red Hat, Junior League, Girl Scouts, Book Clubs, Military Wives Groups) or any group of people that want to relax and have a fun enjoying each other's company.

Hands down my favorite part of my recent trip to Savannah…read more I had signed up originally to do a couples' event, and well, wound up just going solo at the last minute. Anyway, they mention it on the website, but I feel you should know that if you change your mind about what exactly you want to make, they tend to be very flexible about this. I was able to change my selection no issue. The couples' event consisted of two glasses, and well, I changed my mind and made a glass, as well as a little baby pumpkin. Now before you get started, they make you sign a safety waiver and they give you some instructions as to what will be going on. If you get overwhelmed, don't fret because they make this so simple that a child could do it. Heck, children have gone there and had their fun. At least with Caleb, the instructor that I had, this was a seamless process. Caleb was a real gem and somehow I managed to get him to myself. An oddity in itself, but I went on a Saturday afternoon at 2 PM. I suppose most people were at brunch. It was the later evening slots that were busy. Just something to keep in mind if you're like me and get overwhelmed with groups of people. That said, it seems they cap these events at maybe a dozen people or so. Nothing crazy. This isn't the 30ish people you see at your typical painting class. At any rate, once the pieces are done, you need to wait 24 hours to get them. You can either pick them or have them shipped to your house. I chose the latter. Shipping for me was $35 and they came to me exactly one week later. Brandon, who I believe is the owner, texted me with the tracking number. From beginning to end, this was a legit joy. Oh, and did I mention that the pieces turned out beautiful? I'm dying to display them. Otherwise, Caleb provided me with many recommendations for my time in Savannah, including a restaurant I loved. You best believe I will do this again when I return to Savannah. Glassblowing is definitely not something you see everywhere. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, I think Caleb said around 300 people were still instructing this art. Who knew?

Where do I begin to write this review for Burnt Glassworks? Would it be the variety of items you…read morecan make? Or would it be the phenomenal customer support from Zach and Andy? Or would it be the multiple collections of colors you can select from? Or finally would it be for the items you can buy in their mini showroom? This is the first time I had ever done something like this at the suggestion of my cousin who had also never done it before after reading reviews. She said this is what we're doing. I have to say this was probably one of the funnest events I have done in years! Being able to create something of beauty and not having talent doesn't matter because of the instructions received from Andy. Speaking of Andy, I have to say he is a phenomenal teacher! He explains things in great detail yet in such a way that he is not talking over you or above you but rather with you. He explains by example and by words. He was very patient through the process understanding had never done something like this, and allowed me to express creativity along the way. When it came to the end, describing what the opening of the boss would look like he gave me various options. I cannot commend Andy enough for his outstanding skill at working with others! Now let's talk about Zach who worked the desk and also assisted Andy. He greeted us with a smile, was very friendly and explained to us what the process was going to be. With a fantastic sense of humor and a willingness to be customer centered Zach truly made a difference today as he was the first one we worked with and the last one. From beginning to end my cousin and I had the most fantastic service! If you're looking for something fun to do, supporting a local artist, and building something with your hands, I cannot suggest coming to burnt glassworks enough !!!

Let me start by saying the owner of AR Workshop and her daughters are AMAZING. They are all so kind…read moreand genuine when helping and talking with you. I've gone here twice now, once for a private event and again just this past week so I've been able to make two items here. I've made the lazy Susan and the chunky knit blanket. Both experiences were far beyond what I thought they would be. Again the staff is so incredible and a lot are SCAD students with all different outlooks on art. The experience both times was very personable and all around a fun time. I will 100% be coming back to AR Workshop. The owner was actually telling me they've set up some cool $10/$15 projects for walk ins and that's right up my alley! Affordable and fun! I can't wait to come back and share more experiences with the yelp community.

Jekyll Island Arts Association is housed in historic Goodyear Cottage in the Historic District on…read moreJekyll Island. The JIAA hosts art festivals and other events throughout the year, in addition to offering classes in a variety of art mediums. They have a pottery guild on the basement level, a store on the first floor, and classes upstairs. JIAA's store offers art created by its members, and they completely empty and restock the gallery every few months. There are dozens of artists' work on display; paintings, sculpture, fiber arts, pottery, even origami. It is so inspiring to walk through and look at everything. Prices range from as little as $5 or $10 for a crafty item, all the way up to the thousands for large paintings. Most of the art pays homage to the Golden Isles region, which makes it a special place to find a one-of-a-kind souvenir. I bought pottery pieces at the JIAA spring festival 2023, and a painting in Jan 2024. I smile every time I see these pieces in my home. JIAA members run the store, and often there is a member at a demonstration table working on their art during store hours, which is a very cool touch. Many members are retirees who live on the island and bring artistic experiences from all over the world, so for an arts center, this place draws from a diverse pool of talent, and a caucus of expertise. In other words, this place is beautifully appointed and well run!
