My first Sip-n-Paint experience was intoxicatingly fun. Ok, excuse the pun .. haha! Seriously, it…read morewas a lot of fun and to think I was feeling anxious especially after my grand entrance as I tripped in through the doors a little late to boot. Of course, the artist attendant was super accommodating, thankfully, my area was already setup. The artist attendant helped me into my apron and I received one drinking ticket which of course, a Mimosa is perfect on a Saturday afternoon. The artist attendant help me catch up, you select your paint colors and dab them on a plate used as your palette. Our art teacher took her time and both made sure to walk the room to provide extra help or tips. It's really cool you can "bump up" or customize your piece of wood art too. They're so helpful and friendly which helps cut the edge for anyone that may feel overwhelmed. Halfway through we get an artist break to replenish our liquids, snack or just to mingle around with your group or meet new people. I was surprised how nice and supportive people you never met before are, perhaps, it's the atmosphere. While you paint, they play some cool tunes and with drink in hand.. well, it's hard not to loosen up and your creative side seeps out onto the wood or canvas. In my case, we selected the class painting "Welcome Home" wreath on wood. It was great to see how each art turned out. For me, I changed "Welcome Home" to "Happy Campers" with a small drawing of our truck & trailer. This is more fitting since the Hubs and I are Happy Campers after all :) The art attendant & teacher were super encouraging and I received many compliments from my fellow class members. In the class, I met many other people either part of a group of friends, mom & daughter, grandma and grandchild, or just individuals by themselves... well, it was a pretty fun class and Budget friendly too. This art studio offered a "BOGO" special and my cost was $22~ (I was 1 of 6). At the end of our 2hr~ class, we took fun-silly pictures and of course, the class picture. The art attendant was nice enough to take a picture of our group however, they do a great job capturing photos of you while working as well and later check out their Facebook page to see your class photos! Definitely a 5 star first time experience for me.

I have always wanted one of these and to make it myself at my fav restaurant was a bonus. I arrived early to eat but met Lori the owner of Rare Bird Art Studio upon walking in and decided to just go in and chat with her til the class started. Such a great lady with the perfect personality to teach art classes. The whole process was so much fun. There were 20 of us and it was just like being a kid with cooler art supplies and gourmet nomz. Even though my 2 friends could not make it due to last minute rescheduling of class because of tropical storm Debi, I still enjoyed the whole event and highly recommend it. Creating art while eating truffle fries is how I roll!

She even chilled our wine, provided cups and allowed an additional member of our party to create a project at the last minute even though she never registered beforehand. If you're looking for a girls night activity, bday celebration, cute date night, or just something different than movies or bowling, THIS is your place! The inside is beautifully decorated and any craft you make is like Pier 1/Home Goods level nice. So the added bonus of having a great time is that you leave with a gorgeous piece to show off. Make sure you get a punch card on your way out for their loyalty program so you can eventually get a free workshop.

The staff were attentive and friendly, walking around to each table to check on each person and guide them along the process. The work areas were large and it was nice sound with others to guide and help each other also. There really wasn't an overall explanation on how to do the monogram on the box so we struggled with this until a staff member came by and guided us on the process but by then all but 1 monogram was on a box. Wish there would have been just a bit more overall instructions on this is how we put on and take off the monogram. Overall the experience was lovely and I think everyone really enjoyed it. Great place to have a party or come take part in a workshop.

Such a fun, indoor activity on a summer afternoon!…read more My friends and I came here after brunch and we had a blast. We had a group of 6 and made a reservation ahead of time. The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout our time there. For most of our group, it was our first time. You start by grabbing your piece, deciding on a design, choosing your colors, then you paint your design, and add the number of layers that they recommend. There were so many great pieces to choose from that were all reasonably priced. During the time we were there it was busy, but easy to move around the shop and quiet enough for our group to all chat while we worked. When we finished painting, they collected our pieces and we paid. I just got my finished piece and I love it!! Great experience!

It was a full class, if you need help they're willing to help. Maybe one more assistant so these two don't get overwhelmed or someone does feel like they can't receive assistance. We played a little game of heads/tails for fun & someone won a painting. Birthday people also were able to take home an additional painting. My mom and I opted to do candle making beforehand, so get there at least thirty minutes before to pick your smells, labels, etc. They have at least 15+ scents to chose from and you can select multiple, we both selected three. They preselect your seats. This location is not BYOB, if it's alcohol, but there is a bar with wines, seltzers, and beers. They do not have any nonalcoholic beers/wines, but there is sodas. I was able to bring my nonalcoholic beer from home, though because no alcohol content but the plaza does not allow you to bring alcohol from home. The two hours wasn't quite enough time to finish my piece, but they weren't super strict on rushing us out. They have cubbies to put your things, wash station, drying station for paint, and they accept walk in's.

I emailed the studio and was instructed to come to an open studio session. It was free style. The staff was polite, but it is not a workshop. I thought I would learn the craft, including how to mix resin. If I had known that it is studio time with supplies added I would have found a picture, sketched it at home on my own 11x14 canvas (which is $15 extra) and brought in other media to complete my project. Example: twigs and leaves brought from home and make glass birds to sit on the branch. I know they don't make much off of Groupon, but I use Groupon to try new places, not for the cheap deal. A true workshop would have resulted in my repeat business.
