This was only because you can not fail a child in art. Lol. I was excited about the paint party with the Loaded Canvas because it was at my friend's house and... we were drawing wine. When I arrived, this mobile business transformed her space wonderfully. Our canvas, easel, paint palettes, brushes, etc. were nicely arranged. We were given aprons and ready to start our masterpiece. Natasha Fray, the owner and artist was effortless in navigating between various levels of skill. Her introduction and directions throughout the experience were clear. I felt at ease because when people had "oops" moments, she never panicked with us. As a matter of fact, she really didn't see mistakes because its art. She had a way of listening to the buy-in of the painter to help the painting reflect their vision. She could fix anything. I loved and stuck with the colors of our painting. However there were others who desired to use colors that matched their home decor. Natasha helped them mix the right colors to get the background they wanted. I was very pleased with my painting. It was Natasha who made it an experience. I highly recommend selecting the Loaded Canvas as your paint party host. *Side Note: This is a black owned business.

She was friendly, very patient and extremely knowledgeable and we really appreciated her feedback and advice. The space was clean, open, filled with light and the vibe was comfortable.

MIY also offers different creative classes and workshops that Im very interested in checking out for relatively affordable prices. Overall, highly recommend!

I took the perfume and cologne making class at M.I.Y. The founder and instructor, O'Laura, was very…read morekind and patient. Everyone had their own apron to wear and got to choose which oils to incorporate into our perfume. O'Laura did an excellent job giving us a brief synopsis on the history of perfumes, but also broke down the 3 layers of scents. The top notes are usually lighter and floral. The middle notes are the "heart" of the scent and tend to be fruitier. And the base notes are the musky, earthy, woody notes that tend to linger in the room after the perfume is sprayed. This really helped me in choosing which oils to include in my perfume. She walked us through balancing the amount of oils to add. In the end, she did play a game with our table of 12 people or so, which I ended up winning and getting a coupon to use at M.I.Y, as well as a heart-shaped pen. M.I.Y also offers a candle making class, which you can walk in for and do not need an appointment in advance. They also sell other products, such as reed diffusers, candles, wax melts, room sprays, and more. As a plus, we also chose this location to support black-owned business, especially during the month of February,

We have had the chance to do the paint thing several times now, all at different locations with…read moredifferent instructors. The was our favorite by far. To be up front about things Brooke our teacher is also Co-owner, and I think her style and approach bodes well for anyone taking a class from her organization. We were lucky enough to be in a class comprised of only my three family members (one of the benefits of going on Easter ). Judging from the set up they do not overbook their classes like other groups do. And they allow children as young as twelve which the groups who do this in bars and restaurants simply don't. They have a minimum age of twenty one. The instructions were ear and the pace was casual. Brooke was very flexible in working with us, going as far as allowing our daughter to modify the color palette and adjusting her teaching to make sure my daughter got the effect desired. Before we left the next session had been planned so I would have to say we will do it anything. Check out their website they do a large variety of painting and quite a few special events. A fun way to spent a few hours. Even without the alcohol

Disappointed with the customer service. I was planning my birthday festivities and wanted to have…read moremy party here. I recently went to a YELP ELITE event hosted by Painted Palette fell in love with the place and decides this would be a fantastic idea for my birthday. I called looking for something at least 5 weeks in advance. I called left and message and a day goes by I dont receive a call back. So I call again and again and again, I get the voicemail each time. I decide to send a email. I receive a pretty quick response. The day I would like is booked, bummed out a little but hey Im flexible. I request two other dates one date is booked for my alloted time and the other date had a inquiry but the party had not booked as of yet. Well I let Becca know that I would take the date if the other party did not book. She emailed me back, thanked me for my flexibilty and told me she would get back to me ASAP. well this has been the longest ASAP I have ever endured. I have not heard back from her and I actually took the time to stop into the studio to see if the date had actually booked. I Spoke with the co owner who told me she would take down my information give it to Becca and I should hear from her that evening. I really dislike being kept in limbo its very unprofessional, my time is more important than the money I spend. A simple email back or phone call letting me know I had not been forgotten or the date was booked is all I needed. Anyway I booked with another company, My Birthday "Paint nite Baltimore" will still go on. Ladies if you do happened to read this, I think you have a great concept and I really did enjoy the Elite event, however your follow ups and response to phone calls definitely need some improving.

Paint the Town completely dropped the ball. I spent weeks confirming headcount, party details,…read morepayments, and logistics with them. Then, on the morning of my daughter's party (scheduled for 11:30 AM), the instructor sent a vague text at 6:45 AM saying they wouldn't be able to make it and then never responded to any of my follow-ups. To make matters worse, I couldn't reach anyone at the company. I called, texted, and emailed multiple times trying to see if they could send a backup instructor or at least switch to a virtual format. Nothing. No support, no communication...just silence. Finally, I heard back from someone on Monday, asking if I wanted to reschedule. Because apparently, that's how birthday parties work? This company clearly doesn't understand the basics of customer service or event planning. I regret ever trusting them with something so important. I would not recommend Paint the Town -- look for a more reliable company that actually puts their customers first.

My friend got a $6 glass of Moscato and I had the Picasso Punch which was delicious and only $9! Our artists were Rachel and Kerri. I believe Ron was on the bar. All 3 were amazing! They mentioned they have open studio for 2 hours every Tuesday and it's free if you bring in your painting from class. I will definitely be coming back to do some last touch ups on my painting! Can't wait to come back for another class.

Our instructor was Kirsten and she did a phenomenal job. She was funny, taught at a good pace and assisted us when needed. TJ/Tah was also great she was mending the food station at first and helped me pick out the mozzarella sticks, curly fries, fruit punch and strawberry ginger lemonade-everything was good. The pricing was a bit higher for portion size on some things chicken and you can make subs on the sampler which i wanted but we kept it moving. It was only a few us of us in there ( maybe because it's a Monday?) but I liked it that way it was a good vibe.

This was so much fun! My partner and I came for date night. We chose our projects before arriving…read more Once we got there, I understood WHY it was important to make those options ahead of time. They create templates and cut the wood specifically for the project you chose. It's located in a sort of strip mall, so there's plenty of parking. When we entered, we were quickly greeted, signed in, and directed to our table. Before I forget, this is a BYOB establishment. We brought a bottle of wine and glasses. What we didn't know was that you can also bring food. Had we known, we would have brought snacks. Good to know for next time. You might feel overwhelmed when you first arrive, as my partner did, but you'll get help along the way. I chose a clock as my project, and she chose a tray. You'll start with sanding, then distressing the wood (take your time with that part, I wish I'd have done more of that), then staining, then it's time for the template. That part can take some time, depending on the project you chose. Once the template is laid out, you start painting. So many decisions to be made!! It's a great date night event or with a group! Good times. We'll definitely be back. The entire staff was very helpful, especially Lupe!

Wow, I had a great time here! When my sister and mom suggested it I was very skeptical- I feel like…read moreI've done all the "painting" classes and I didn't want to do another one. I was wrong! This was great! The first step happens when you book- you choose your design online. They have hundreds of different choices, from signs to crates to clocks. You can pick from seasonal designs, designs for certain rooms, or designs based on a saying or hobby. Even with my small apartment I could find something that would fit my home well. When you get to Board and Brush, they check you in and have your project set up. You can distress the wood before you pick a stain and, if you want, a painting technique. They explain the options really well and have tons of examples with each different color. After you prepare the wood, you apply the vinyl stencil they have custom cut for you. This step can be tricky, but they have plenty of staff to help. Then you select colors and paint. Again, you need to use a specific technique but they're ready to help you. You remove the stencil and you have a beautiful piece! The process was easy to complete. At our session, we had tons of different people from a child under 10 to a senior citizen over 80. It was a fun environment and I felt like we had plenty of time to work on our projects. In the end, almost every piece was stunning and ready to go up on a wall. This specific location was especially helpful. They helped us add people to our booking after it was full, change our design choice, and gave color selection tips during the session. I would love to come back and make more, and this would be great to do with a bunch of friends.
