We had to send in a picture of choice in via email 2 weeks before class so they could prep the canvas. Thank goodness we didn't have to start from scratch. That would have been a disaster. Started with the background. Spent about 45 min to 1 hour on that. Then comes the eyes followed by the nose. Boy that was hard. But no worries. When the paint dries the artist assisting the class can fix anything! Onto the fur starting from the inside out. It really started to take shape. We were all happy. The artists kept saying "lights and shadows". It got to be funny but I tell you....when you understand what that means it will make a difference. The cost of the class was $60 but well worth it. I would do it again. We had a lot of fun. Oh I almost forgot... you can bring your own beverage. We stopped at the store before hand. There is a Harris Teeter you can walk to.

The session felt a little more intimate and one-on-one since it was only my sister and I. Although we took longer than the time allowed, we were able to finish the charcuterie board with no rush. Lee said not to worry about the resin, since we ran out of time. Lee finished the resin for us and the boards were ready to be picked up after 2 days. Plenty of parking since the establishment is within a shopping center. The only detail is the shop is upstairs of the shopping center.

A Hidden Gem & Truly an Experience!…read more If you're looking for more than just a coffee shop, Ebony Experience is exactly what the name says--an experience. It was easy to find, and from the moment I walked in, I loved the atmosphere. You first enter a cozy bookstore filled with so many incredible books. If you're a reader, you'll be in heaven! I ended up buying two books, and I love that you can also swap books. It's such a unique concept. Then you walk through another door, and it's like stepping into a completely different space--a beautifully decorated pink tea and coffee lounge that's warm, inviting, and perfect for relaxing. There are plenty of places to sit, whether you're meeting friends, enjoying a solo date, or catching up with someone special. I had the Cookie Butter Latte, and all I can say is... chef's kiss! It was absolutely delicious and one of the best specialty lattes I've had. I'll definitely be ordering it again. One of my favorite parts of my visit was meeting the owner. She was so welcoming and genuine, and you can tell she's passionate about creating a space that brings people together. Behind the café is also a charming outdoor area featuring artwork and gathering space, and they host events throughout the month, so it's worth checking their calendar to see what's coming up. As a Black-owned business, I love supporting spaces like this that intentionally build community while offering such a unique experience. Whether you're planning a girls' outing, a solo coffee date, or a cozy date with your significant other, Ebony Experience is absolutely worth the visit. 10/10--highly recommend! I'll definitely be back.

Attended my first Yelp Elite event, Mix, Brew & Make Magic with Simply Vibes Apothecary and it was…read moresuch a memorable kickoff to my Elite experience! The event was Halloween-themed (costumes encouraged!), and from the moment I arrived, the energy was fun, casual, and super welcoming. I had never been to Simply Vibes before, but the setup was so thoughtfully done and full of charm. Chateau Creole catered the event, and WOW! Every single dish was a hit. We got to try fried pork griot, plantains, mini patties, jerk chicken, rice and beans, and creole pasta. Flavorful, comforting, and Plan to visit the food truck on its own! There were also two really fun themed stations: A spell bar, where we could create our own love potions with herbs, salts, and gems A lemonade station with strawberry, blood orange, and orange raspberry flavors, plus edible glitter for extra magic A surprise DJ brought the vibes all night long, and the music definitely helped set the mood right from the start. The crowd was amazing. Everyone was friendly, inclusive, and just genuinely fun to be around. I stayed from the beginning to the end and felt so welcomed the entire time. There was even a best costume contest to top off the night! Huge shoutout to the organizers and hosts for making this event such a blast. I've already started recommending Yelp Elite to friends, and I definitely plan on attending more events in the future.

The ladies were so helpful with tips and tricks and they even have a full service espresso bar right in the shop! I opted for a dirty soda since I was there in the evening, and it was delicious.

I will definitely be back to create more!

Wow! I was blown away by my entire experience at AR Workshop…read more I chose my design in advance and booked a class with a girlfriend. The spot is BYOB and you can bring snacks as well. Our class was 4 students and 1 instructor - the perfect ratio! Our instructor, Eliza, was so knowledgeable and helpful. She encouraged us to look around the workshop to get ideas. We then chose our techniques, stain, and paint colors ... and we got to work. The entire experience was so fun and the class was incredibly organized. We painted, stained, stenciled, nailed, drilled, and more. We left with beautiful wooden signs and a feeling of accomplishment. What a fun evening! I can't wait to return! And be sure to book a class with Eliza if you have a chance. She was AWESOME!!

We paid $25 for two bracelets and were able to fully DIY on our own with help from the instructor. You can pick from two different size bands (thin or thick), colors (gold or silver) and there are letters, numbers and other symbols you can use to customize your bracelets. The studio is spacious and they offer many other DIY workshops (candle making, woodworking, etc.). Great idea for a night out with friends or to celebrate a birthday, graduation or another special event.

The security guard had me wait in the lobby while he went in to the gallery to turn the lights on. I got the impression that there wasn't a whole lot going on here. It's a good thing that it's free, because 30 minutes of looking at pictures wouldn't have been worth much. And even at 30 minutes, I was still moving pretty slow. When I visited, the exhibit was "Streetwise", a collection of pictures of America's troubled 60's. Capturing images of not just our troubled times, including Boston's "Combat Zone" and close-ups of the Black Panthers, there were also shots of just regular people and places. All in black and white, which gave it a feel of being very like a documentary. Pictures of the pictures are not permitted, but I took that as meaning not taking a picture of the individual pictures. Instead, my wide shot of the gallery doesn't give away the detail but helps you see what you're going to see there. I might come back for the next exhibit, but I think this is a "See it once" kind of thing.
