I was at a Christmas painting class with a church group - basically the driver for a dozen or so…read morelittle old ladies - booked weeks in advance. The studio feels upscale, but it's small, and parking is sparse and hard to find nearby. First impression was that they seemed a bit uptight with beginners and stingy with paint and supplies ... but OK, fine. The main issue came as we were getting everyone settled. They'd over-booked the studio with another overlapping group that afternoon, and were also taking participants in off the street! As a result, there weren't enough stations set up to accommodate everyone. Rather than trying to reschedule the new arrivers or otherwise address the situation, they just kept piling more people into what soon became a cramped, stuffy space. Also, the owner/instructor, Dina, was overbearing and unkind. She talked down to participants and did nothing to help them feel at ease in a new experience. A couple of our ladies - pushed off to the side by the over-capacity crowd - are hard of hearing, and asked Dina to repeat herself once or twice. Her response was a curt "Try and keep up ... or would you like a refund?" It was difficult even for me to hear and follow her instructions over the conversations going on in the room. Zero respect and zero compassion for elderly customers just there with friends to have a good, creative time is reprehensible. I was not alone in this observation - a couple of people in the other mis-scheduled group felt the same way. Suffice it to say ... Dina needs to add some humility and kindness - and some basic business sense - to her toolkit. There are several Paint'n'Sip studios in the downtown area. It can be a fun, engaging, upbeat creative experience. Pending some changes on the part of this studio, though, I'm going to suggest strongly that you choose one of the others.

We did the Halloween painting with ghosts around a bonfire, all of ours turned out different, and I love how they encouraged that. Only downside is I'm a perfectionist, and I was constantly a step or two behind from how long I was taking. A little bit more time in between would've been fantastic! Otherwise no complaints here! Super fun!

You could tell she truly cared about what she was doing and valued her time with us. She made sure to check on every single person to make sure they didn't need help and encouraged them every step of the way! Cyra was the best painting teacher and I would highly recommend you spend your next painting night or event with her! She is a teacher in the day and a paint teacher on some evenings! Why would you not want your painting teach to actually be a teacher? Her patience and professionalism definitely set her apart and you can tell she is a genuine art leader!
