Family fun night at Painting with a Twist in Bartram Oaks. We all had such a great time. It was…read morerelaxing, easy to follow along and an overall good time with the family. Julie, our artist instructor, was just the sweetest. She was able to engage all of us but esp. my 11 y/o son who struggles with staying focused for more than 30 minutes. And our art was so cute. I highly recommend this place and Julie.

We will be back and we will bring friends.

Found this business via Local Flavor or probably wouldn't have known about it…read more Cute little shop in the heart of Edgewood, owned by a mother and daughter duo. They were both so sweet & helpful! They have hundreds of designs to choose from or they can pretty much create just about anything you want. They also have tons of different shapes and sizes of boards from which to choose. The daughter explained the whole process to us and let us roll. You start by staining the board then blow drying it so you can get to the next step. That would be applying the sticker stencil then painting with a good 3 or so coats. Let that baby dry then voila! Masterpiece done. I highly recommend this business! Support locals, have a blast (ummm BYOB!!), and create a gift (or keep for yourself )

I had purchased a Groupon for this crafting session- and had to email back and forth to schedule…read moreand redeem the groupons. There was a break in communication over several days- so I reached out again to make sure we were booked and it was as though I had never emailed in the first place- although the email chain was all below. The shop is located in Murray Hill and it looks run down outside- we happened to pick the same night as Octoberfest was being celebrated by another business and parking was a bear. Once through the door our instructor was very chatty and thoroughly gave instruction- our group consisted of three of us and we are all crafters, who also all work at Michael's. Which we did tell our lovely instructor- we probably could have sped up the process a bit because of it- but we kept at the pace set by our leader. This is not a franchise- but an honest Jacksonville start up business. I do appreciate that. We stained our wood, set our stencils on our boards and were off to pick paints. They only do chalk paints and I learned a valuable lesson using these paints. They stink! I am going to assume that chalk paints can go bad- because I can't imagine anyone buying and using paints that smelled like dead animals- but that's exactly what some of these jars smelled like when I cracked them open. Tiff - my friend- works a ranch and completely agreed with my assessment! I am hyper sensitive to smells and this threw me. I pushed on and finished painting. Our instructor tried to give us tips- haha- I say try because us stubborn crafters barely followed her suggestions. I wanted my paint to still show the wood grain beneath- she thought I should've put more paint on- but I ended up with exactly the desired look. My one friend- Naomi didn't want any bright colors that would clash with her home- not even on her Halloween sign! I thought it was cute- she was so set on just black, white and gray. Tiff- she slathered the most paint on and hers was tacky-damp even as she left my house an hour after! Instruction = 4 stars (slow but thorough) Paint = 2 stars for the ones almost empty- they were noxious Final product = 5 stars we all had fun and left happy

All the way 5 stars from me!! So much fun! You get to be…read morecreative, get dirty and really get in the craftin mood and you leave with something that looks so good you will be proud to hang it in your house!! What!?!!! You come in and pick a piece of wood you want, pick a design from ones already cut or they can custom make you a design ( but you have to register for all that online before you come in) then you get to work picking your stain or colors you want to paint with, and how ever you want to make your piece....sure the employees are there to help and give pointers but for the most part your set free to craft away how ever you want! They also have glitter for that extra sparkle ( heart eyes!) Tons of fun, being creative, and finished product turns out beautiful! Love it!

We went on sangria night , so they served free sangria which was nice but we also were able to bring our own drinks. The boards were already cut we just stained and painted them with our design. We wanted to add in some lines so we left them there since that stencil wasn't cut yet and picked them up at a different time. After we picked them up my fiancé put the poly acrylic on it to finish the boards. The process wasn't hard and we even added on the corn hole bags to go with our board. We loved how they turned out and the experience!
