This is the only wood burning location that I have heard of. I like that Tipsy Paint has this unique offering. They also have paint nights and other types of classes. I signed up for one design but they are very flexible on what designs you do when you are there, you just have to use the board you signed up for. They also have lazy Susan classes. I saw that they previously did a Chicago bears logo class so I asked to do that and they printed me the picture to trace. The class was 3 hours and it took us the whole time. You have to be patient when wood burning. I really liked my final art! We were provided with instructions on how to take care of it and washing instructions so we can use it with food. I like that it is BYOB! The owner, Krystina, led our class. She was so friendly, patient, and provided great instructions. I'm addicted to wood burning! I will definitely be back! read more

Went to their wood burning charcuterie class and the owner, Krystyna is great! Definitely recommend

OMG!!! This place is the best!! Me and the girls had so much fun in the wood burning class. definitely going back for more fun and to check out the other cool classes. the owner was wonderful!! read more

I know I've been here a few times already...maybe just never had a chance to review. This is the best spot for a fun girls night out, birthday party, or group activity. Great for adults and kids, anyone can have a good time here. You can bring your own food and drinks, which makes it even more fun! We brought lots of wine, rosé, beer and bites to enjoy while painting. Krystyna is so sweet! She gave everyone a lot of time to get through their work and allowed people to be free and creative. I'm going to try the pyrography next time. You can bring your own design and basically burn it into the wood. Sounds fun! read more

We had so much fun painting here on a Saturday! We arrived at 7pm and parking was full. ( Doors open at 6:45PM for 7:15 classes). I would advise to get there a little earlier. And obviously only the back seats were left but that was fine. We had a full class of 45-50 students. It can get loud. Plus it is BYOB =) We had 2 instructors. Krystyna and Jim. They were wonderful. Jim was the primary instructor but since we had a big class, Krystyna would walk around and see who needed help and also compliment/comment on our paintings. Initially, i thought what we were going to paint was going to be hard. But the instructor was great in explaining the steps and guiding us through the process. If you are like me and don't draw or paint, you will do fine! My friend who i went with does a lot of shading, coloring, and painting on a daily basis so her painting was very creative and unique. Oh! And everything is provided for you. All you need to bring is beer, wine or whatever you wanted to drink. The paintings underneath the big clock are all for sale for $10 each. I think those are great for office decors, kids room etc... If you are thinking about giving this a try, you can check on Groupon for discount pricing. Once you purchase the groupon, go on their website, click on CLASSES (top tabs) , find the painting you would like to paint, click on that. It will then bring you to the registration page. Click on Register (individual) or Register (2 or more). Under Payment Information Voucher / Prepaid / Giftcard Code, enter in your Groupon Code and it will take the cost of the class off. Very simple and easy to navigate! This was my first time coming here and I enjoyed it very much. Next time i would probably try to attend a class that didn't have 48 students (max is 50). read more

Awesome spot for a fun night out! Came here two weeks ago with my mother for a mother-son night out and we had a blast. We had a good amount of time to complete our painting and a average sized canvas. The instructor was good. He gave good suggestions and helpful instruction. He took a good amount of time explaining each portion and even came around to help each person. read more

I attended a BYOB pyrography wood burning class here and had a great time. At first, I was a bit intimidated at the design process, but once our helpful and encouraging instructor got us going, the whole experience was fun and therapeutic. The pyrography tool can get pretty hot, especially at the handle, so I would be more careful next time when holding the tool during the class. I think I developed a tiny burn or sore on my finger which I didn't realize until later. I loved the outcome of my piece and they even gave us a hook to attach to the backside of it in case we wanted to hang it. read more

My daughter and I enjoyed a painting night. My daughter is creative and I'm not so. We were walked through each step and BAM we created masterpieces. I was surprised how the piece came together. The best part is we had fun and got to take home our creations to memorialize our night. Would do this again for sure. read more

My friends and I attended the wood burning charcuterie board class, and I cannot recommend this class enough!! This was well worth the coast, and we had an amazing time! Krystina, the instructor and business owner, is such fun company, very patient, skilled and informative. I was impressed with how flexible she is with instructing different skill levels within the class. Krystina also went above and beyond for us for staying later than planned. We spent 3.5hours wood burning! she did say most people spend about 2.5-3 hours. I also loved how students can customize their charcuterie board. She has all sorts of stencils to choose from, and can even create your own for no additional cost. Krystina also went above and beyond with discussing how to properly care for our charcuterie board and even gas us a special cloth and oil to protect the wood to take home with us! Before taking our board home, she also sprays it with a food safe protective spray. My favorite part about this charcuterie board....you can use this as a cutting board too! read more

Tipsy Paint - My final product with my own design on a cutting board/charcuterie board! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Thanks to Yelp, I was able to explore out of my comfort zone and tried something I thought I would never do again.. paint! I've had art classes when I was younger but nothing to show for so I was a little bit nervous and also skeptical about how my work would turn out after seeing everyone else's drawings on the wall of the studio. I loved every moment of my time here! THe instructors were incredibly helpful as they went around and suggested different pointers on how best to achieve the masterpiece we all wanted. They make everyone feel comfortable and made painting very easy! I highly recommend this place for parties! I would definitely come here again and I rave about this place everywhere I go. read more

I would recommend this place for anyone that wants a relaxing evening with wine...and you don't even need think a lot or be good at painting!! The owner and instructor are both really friendly and helpful during the painting session...they provide you with all the supplies & paint... give you ample time to finish each step and walk around to make sure things are going smoothly... Wine & painting... and you get to take your painting home :) I would definitely go again one day! :) read more

In honor of my 908th Yelp review (#1000, I see you on the horizon!), I am going to give you 908 reasons why we loved our experience at Tipsy Paint! J/k... I'll just go with 8. #8: convenient location in Glenview, not too far from the Glen #7: comfy parking lot! #6: they have a calendar posted online of what picture you'll paint, so you can reserve your spots in advance. We painted a global city. Read: a lakefront skyline of famous skyscrapers like the Sears Tower and Eiffel Tower under a setting sun. #5: Tipsy linked up with Groupon, so we bought our spots for about 50% off (reg price: $38)! #4: all supplies are included - the paint, brushes, canvas (which you get to take home! Our masterpieces are going up on the bathroom walls... even though my unbiased POV says they belong in the Louvre) #3: our instructor Jim was one patient teacher. God bless him for dealing with the borderline obnoxious, shrieky, more-than-tipsy women at the 50th bday celebration that was taking place. #2: BYOB! And the #1 reason we had a blast here at Tipsy... BYOB! Oh, did I already say that? Ok, then... #1: it's a calming, unique date night (or otherwise) idea! read more

We recently hosting our team holiday lunch / activity here and had a fabulous time! Krystyna was a phenomenal host and teacher. We spent the first hour relaxing and enjoying food we delivered to Tipsy Paint. Then, we spent the next two hours creating our own custom pyrography designs - it was so cool. The space is big and welcoming, and it was neat to do a creative activity while getting to still choose our individual designs. I'll definitely be back for more pyrography opportunities. read more

No. 1 tip: bring a cooler for your drinks if you like it cold because they don't have a fridge. Well, they do but it's not working. This is a fantastic idea. Who needs to go to a crowded and douchey bar for a girl's night and a drink, when you can paint and drink good wine all to yourself for cheap! This was so much fun! I know the most complaint this place get us the waiting time to start but I was here 30mins earlier than my group was supposed to come. Went on a Friday night, scheduled at 7pm. They opened the doors at 6:45pm and we didn't start painting till maybe around 7:15 to 7:30 pm. Some would be frustrated BUT, when I was there they had a session before our class and the people would not leave even though they had to go by 6:30. So the staff couldn't clean up and set up for the next class. Btw, the next class was floor 52 people and there was only 2 people working. Yah, not so easy. Anyways, if you're going to be impatient about starting, I suggest you bring 2 or more bottles of wine because you'll need it. And secondly, calm down you're here to paint. Artist don't rush the process of creativity! Main point: this is fun, so everyone do it!!! Oh and the workers are very helpful at making crap look like masterpiece. Just keep raising your hand ;) read more

Tipsy Paint - Then blob came. - Paint & Sip Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

I had rented out Tipsy Paint for about 11 girls for a bachelorette party, I was a little hesitant at first but upon arrival I was in awe. Krystina was our instructor and she was absolutely amazing. She was patient and super nice. She told us to stop and take a sip of our drinks a few times since we ended up being super serious about our paintings. She was also very accommodating and on top of it she was nice enough to walk around and take pictures of us ( we didn't even ask) AMAZING! I loved everything about tispy paint, and cannot wait to come back. read more

What a riot. A friend suggested we all go to this place and said it was BYOB, so I was in. Little did I know that the time would fly by so fast I almost forgot to drink my B. Beth did a great job keeping us all on task, entertained, and actually believing that we could paint! Found out later she also does paint therapy (was this therapy or painting???). Either way it was a fun evening and would highly recommend it for anyone. We are defiantly going back again. read more

What a fun night spent with my fiancé and a large group of people painting portraits of their dogs. The studio is surprisingly big. Kudos to Beth for handling a 15+ group of people on her own with some help from the owner, Hap. My fiancé and I both emailed a picture of our two dogs and Beth perfectly sketched our dogs on the canvas and gave us great tips from the stage. We were in such a big hurry to get there straight from work (in the city) that we forgot to bring our, "favorite beverage", hence the name. I think that would have helped us ease up a bit when painting. Nonetheless, we had a great time. We were complemented greatly on how great our portraits came along. I would like to come back for one of the other classes sometime soon. :) read more

Tonight was my second time going to Tipsy Paint and I can't say enough good things about it! The owner, Hap, was so easy to work with and made it a customized experience. The first time I went with my Mother-in-law and my sister and the second time was with a group of girlfriends. The studio is so cute and very conducive to talking and interacting with your group as well as seeing the instructor clearly and being able to paint. I went in with ZERO artistic talent and came out feeling like a full blown artist. Both paintings are actually good enough that I have put them on display in my house. I was not expecting that. Both instructors were totally different but both were AMAZING!!! They were so hands on and helped our whole group with any questions and let us make the paintings our own. I can't think of a more enjoyable group activity or a greater present for even the most finicky recipient. I bought a 2 for 1 deal on plumdistrict.com and wish that I would have purchased dozens more. I will definitely be going back and bringing all my friends with me. read more

I absolutely loved this class!!!!! Jim and Krystyna were helpful and great!!!! I am looking forward to try their next classes to come including the wood burning !! read more

My sister and I had a blast at Tipsy Paint. The environment was very casual, plus it's BYOB! The instructor was friendly and personable. My sister will definitely bring the family back to get our painting on! Thank you Karl! It was a lovely experience. read more

I went to Tipsy Paint for the second time yesterday evening with 2 friends, and we all had a blast! We all bought groupons, so for $19, we were given all the supplies we needed to paint a lovely picture (mason jar and fireflies). Our teacher, Lindsey, was great. You really don't have to have any painting abilities whatsoever to attend these classes. The instructors teach you step by step how to make the painting. Both paintings I;ve done look great. They are also really flexible. Originally, our painting was supposed to be on 2 canvases. When we called to see if we could just do the one painting with our groupon, the owner didn't hesitate to agree. The space itself is pretty and has all the old paintings of art they've offered on the walls. As everyone else has mentioned, this place is BYOB. They have glasses, a fridge, and a corkscrew - all you need to enjoy your wine. We brought snacks too - cookies and cheese and crackers. Our class wasn't full, so we had space to spread out. You might not if the class is sold out. Overall, we had a wonderful night. We all plan on heading back soon. read more

This place is so much fun! My boyfriend and I came for a night out and it was a blast. Good people, good beer, an all around good time!

Dad's night out with the kids was wonderful at Tipsy Paint! Everything was furnished so that kids could get into an apron and get right to painting. With easy to follow steps coupled with latitude to be your best you... the finished artwork was a reflection of each kid (and dad). And now we have festive Nutcrackers adorning the house for the holidays. Thank you Tipsy Paint! We'll be back. read more

What a fun creative night! I found out about tipsy paint through a groupon. It's a 3 hour painting class guided by an experienced artist who is the instructor. At first glance when you walk into the studio there are a lot of paintings on the walls, and if you are like me and can only paint stick figures you'll feel like there's no way you can create anything other than lines and dots...haha. Well I'm glad I was wrong. Our instructor was great! He shows you step by step how to paint circles if you need to by using your thumb and middle finger as a guide (very scientific way of drawing a circle ha) but it totally worked. Then he shows you how to create different color shades, by mixing colors together to make the illusion of fading or exaggerated colors. He continues the step by step process until your finished product actually really does look like a work of art! It's definitely a class to take if you want to relax, unwind, and do something different. It was very fun. Great for an individual, couples, or groups. read more

Came here with friends on a groupon. The reservation process was VERY easy - you can do it all online. Was happy about that. We got there early, as advised on the website - and from there on it was really disorganized. we started an hour and a half late due to some error in booking a big party or something - and they offered us an apology with a reduced price for another class. Despite the snaffoo that made such a delay, we were there 30 min early, and after about 30 min of supposed start time, they were STILL setting up. Seems like staff should get there ahead of time and do this. Espeically since everyone is pre registered you have an idea of how many people were going to be there. This class was packed to the door. All in all though, despite the late start time and disorganization - once things finally started getting going it was pretty fun and they teach in a way that everyone feels like they can succeed at the class. I do wish that they offered more abstract type of paintings to do. I feel like in this setting some of the things they have you painting need to really look like what you are painting (faces, buildings, etc) so with more abstract things, people can be creative and still have something that looks really great b/c its not "supposed" to be something. I shortly took a class at pinot's palette and enjoyed WHAT we painted alot better. This place was great though b/c you can bring your own drink and food. I would probably go back with another groupon. For $20 this was a fun night out with my two friends. read more

I love this place! I bought a groupon with my girlfriends and we had a blast! Not only do you get to unleash the artist that's hidden in you, but they also let you BYOB! Score! Painting + Girlfriends+ Wine = Best girls-day out ever. Our instructor was really helpful and friendly. I actually bought a groupon to a different "Paint and Wine" place after this one and it wasn't as good. Plus they did not allow you to BYOB. I will definitely be coming here again soon! read more

I've been to several byob painting place and this gem tops them all! The instructors are fabulous and walk around the room and help you! Some folks decide to paint their own thing which is totally cool here, rather then doing the group painting. We followed along with the group, they made it totally easy and fun! The byob part is awesome and there aren't any corking fees or anything crazy! This is the perfect place to come with friends or on a date! I will definitely come back! read more

Tipsy Paint - Paint & Sip Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Tipsy paint - it is exactly the its name. All you have to do is bring your choice of drink and everything else is provided here: the glasses for your drinks, canvas, brushes, paint, even the aprons. The art instructor was extremely helpful and patient. All the instructions provided was clear enough to follow for people who have no relations to art at all. It was quite fun activity that my husband and I planned as our anniversary gift to each other. The place is a bit of a hidden gem in the shopping center. Unless you are a local in that area, you can find this place. We came across it via Groupon. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

I have been back and each time, we have awesome instructors (not even going to tell you to seek out one in particular - they are all encouraging and somehow, even the 'bad' paintings turn out pretty!) I have tried a few other places in the N. Suburbs and this is by far the best overall experience. At one different place, several of us gave up because the piece was too complicated and the instructor was too hard to hear and since she didn't wander around the room, once we got off track, well, forget it. read more

I'm really glad that I used a Living Social coupon for the event I attended. The night that I went, there were about 30-35 people and the 'Instructor' did walk around the room, but didn't stop once to talk to my friend or to me. He had a few favorites, and while I didn't expect an art lesson, I had never attended this type of activity and expected at least some interaction with the class guide. The leader did work on his piece in front of the class but he went quickly, so that he could spend time with individuals -- his favorites. He spent more time discussing where to store alcohol and snacks then art techniques. I like the concept, but will try another place. read more

I love this place. I love the staff members. I think they are super patient with their students. I have gone here a couple of times and felt that I was well taken care of. There's plenty of room to put your things down and spread out and get comfortable. The paint brushes are of very good quality and I like that. Something else I enjoy is the fact that there are two finished portraits on either side of the instructor that are totally different and then he/she goes step by step through the process of painting. I would like to go here at least once a month if not more. :) read more

The person I was originally going to come with couldn't make it, so I ended up attending a class with my boyfriend and we had a blast! I am a perfectionist so I didn't end up drinking too much, but had we done a less intricate image, I might have gotten silly. I'd like to go again with wine and girlfriends! I am giving the information to my boss for a potential group outing. Very friendly atmosphere and no ones trying to up-sell anything while you're there. They let you chose the Pandora music if you'd like to as well. Very relazed, the 2 1/2 hours FLEW by! read more

What a gem! Just came in from a night out with my gal pal. Wasn't sure what to expect but really, how can you go wrong with bringing your own wine and playing with paint? No Talent? Not to worry. You will find your inner artist. Instructor was so patient , informative and helpful. We had the best time and are already planning the next outing. Staff is amazing and invested in making this experience enjoyable for everyone. You can check out their calander and see what the painting of the day/night is. We did martini glass tonight. Yes, yes go. Can't wait to surprise my BF with a night out of painting. read more

I love Tipsy Paint! I went just recently, and loved it so much that we just scheduled a Baby Shower there in a few weeks. The staff is so friendly, and the owner is very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I'm horribly non-artistic, but even MY painting is displayed proudly in my house! read more

I'm in love with this place. SO fun for a girls night and the teachers are super talented and really nice. The owner is around while you work on your stuff, and he is unbelievably nice and accommodating. I had Jonathan as my instructor, and he is really good at what he does. You actually leave the place with a really cool painting you can put on display (and when you otherwise have no discernible artistic talents, that is saying something!). I'm walking a fine line between wanting to tell everyone about how cool this place is because I had so much fun, and wanting to keep it quiet so it can remain my hidden gem. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Our instructor was awesome and so helpful. I went with a group of 6 ladies and nobody else signed up so we were had the studio to ourselves. Not only that but we were able to switch up the picture and merge two pictures together which was awesome. Our photos came out great and the instructor was awesome. Would absolutely recommend this place, and it doesn't hurt that the price is right! read more

I came here for such a fun girls night out the other week during a week for their painting night called "Shaken or stirred" and seriously had the best time. We had used a groupon and I"m so happy we did since the price was far more reasonable than the normal $38. The room was seriously packed as their was like 40 people there that night. I love the byo wine aspect as there is nothing better than to paint with your friends and drink some good wine. I also saw some people brought food that they put in direct middle lines of the table and we will for sure do that for next time as all that drinking and painting can make you hungry so we will plan better for that. It's best to arrive earlier when they open so you can save some good seats for your girlfriends or whoever you are with. Like, I said I liked the tall ceilings here making the place look even bigger and I loved their display of paintings on the wall as well. I seriously can't wait to go back and do it again. However, my one complaint is that night they had an option of two paintings meaning their were two teachers that night teaching two different things. That truly took away from the instruction as if you chose one of the paintings you literally only got about half the instruction time as you were kind of just doodling as the other instructor was talking. That made it less beneficial and less of a learning experience as I really wanted to get some good painting tricks and pointers which I feel that I missed out on. I definitely plan on coming back in the future so hopefully they release another groupon soon but I will make sure I pick a night where there is only one painting and hopefully only one good instructor talking the entire time so I can focus on just one painting. read more

We had a work party here and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Krystyna was timely and professional in planning the details of the party with me. We were able to BYOB and bring in both delivery and homemade treats, and Krystyna had glassware and serving utensils available if requested! There was a wide variety of artistic ability with our group, but we all ended with paintings we could be proud of. Krystyna is a great teacher, I would highly recommend Tipsy Paint for any party! read more
