    When you hold it to your face, then it makes sense
    Shirley J.

    Bought a Groupon for this place for a wine glass painting class on a Sunday afternoon. The class is two hours long, but they give you just a tad bit of time to finish and clean up after. Just don't overstay your welcome since there's usually another class to follow. Although they recommend to arrive 30 minutes early, it's not necessary. I got there at 11:35am and was the first person there. People started rolling in around 11:50am. During the time I waited, I was able to marvel at the artwork surrounding me that included paintings, decorated wine glasses, candles, and sculptures. It's BYOB and BYOS (bring your own snacks). What's nice is that they provide cups, a fridge, utensils, and napkins for you. They use the foam plates for paint, but I'm sure you can just grab one for your snacks. I didn't bring alcohol though since I wanted to draw straight lines instead of squiggly ones. The work area is pretty small, but they have two main sections. I picked an unlucky seat because the girl behind me sat in a chair that spilled a bit into my area. So it was difficult for me to get in and out comfortably, which made me move my chair to the end of the table. My only recommendation would be to space the tables just a bit further apart from each other if they're back-to-back. I like that they have a shelf full of paint, plates, and napkins that you can take freely. I definitely ended up using four plates for painting. Unlike canvas painting classes, this wine glass painting class allows you to freely paint to your heart's desire. You're allowed to take one of the many wine glasses displayed on the shelves to serve as inspiration or copy. I used Google images as inspiration and made mine a gift. The instructor, Carlos, was very helpful, patient, and personable. He's also a very talented artist, and you can see his artwork hung on the wall or displayed on a shelf. This was a fun and enjoyable experience, and I would love to come back to try one of their other classes. They offer classes for soy candles, ceramics, kids painting, couples painting, wine glass painting, canvas painting, charcoal drawing, male nude drawing, and private parties.

    I saw this deal on Groupon and purchased it. I'm always looking for fun and excited things to do by myself, with family or with friends. I decide to use this deal with my son for our mother & son date. I was told to get there early to set up. We get there early and the door was locked. Thank goodness there was a nice seating area outside. The host pulls up in her car running a little late. Social distance was in place. You had to wear a mask at all times. Except when you were eating or drinking. The tables were section at 6ft. I forgot to mention the important part of the candle making class it's B.Y.O.B. You can bring your own snacks and favorite drink. We had some nice chill relax music. Beautiful art work along the studio wall. Enjoyable spot to come for any occasion. I really had a great time as always with my son. We both created some wonderful scents and colors for our candles. Glad I bought this deal and was able to share this experience with my son.

    I planned a painting class event for my birthday this past Saturday at VIP Paints and it was really fun! There were 18 of us, and we all had a pretty fun experience. It's BYOB, which makes painting a lot easier! The staff was really friendly and our instructor was really helpful and nice. Planning the event was really easy as well. You need 6-22 people, it was $35 a person, and they send you a link where your friends can purchase their tickets. I would definitely recommend VIP Paints for a painting class or a private event!

    Chicago skyline piece I did!

    If I could rate this 10 stars I definitely would! What a fun and creative way to spend time with friends! I didn't know what to expect but Delilah and Jose exceeded all of our expectations! Delilah was warm, inviting and hospitable! Jose our instructor was so friendly and patient helping all of us along the way! My boyfriend was super stoked when he came home and saw my piece and wants to come with next time! Can't wait to do this again, thanks Delilah & Jose!!!

    I had a blast! First time painting on canvas and something other than stick figures. I was happily surprised at my finished product. The instructor was patient and detailed. I was able to follow him even after having a few glasses of wine. The only downside is that there was another group in the back of the studio painting wine glasses and they were very loud at times to the point where we couldn't hear the instructor.

    I had a Groupon that was expiring soon, so I called and left a message about scheduling a day and time. I received a call within a day to confirm. Haley was the instructor and she greeting me with the warmest smile. I told her about the significance of my candle and she helped me pick out the perfect color. Haley was patient with everyone, despite having to tell a few people the same thing more than once. My candle was perfect! It marked my 5 year ovarian cancer anniversary and I was so satisfied with the teal color. I had the best time on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

We first gathered in the back where there is a bar and enjoyed some drinks, macaroons, and charcuterie. The space was able to hold about 20 of us comfortably. For our activity, we water color painted an alphabet book for the baby. Each page consisted of a letter and accompanying animal tracing, so our job was just to fill it in. I'm pretty sure the owner did all the outlines for us, which was incredibly impressive! The painting was so relaxing, therapeutic, and fun! I love that my friend will have this book to look back on to remember the fun day. They offer SO many fun and crafty classes here. Wreath building, calligraphy, embroidery, macrame, and that is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you're interested in picking up a new hobby or exploring a craftier side, I think indigo + violet is the perfect place to look.

    I had my bridal shower at Indigo & Violet for ~20 guests and everything exceeded my expectations!…read moreLeigh, the owner of the studio, led us through a floral arrangement workshop and it was a beautiful, fun, and a unique event- everyone had so much fun. We brought our own snacks & bubbly, and saved extra time for presents/games. In total we used the space for 3.5 hours. The total price was very reasonable for a private event in Chicago and the studio set up was perfect! Leigh was very professional, responsive, and listened my vision - she provided the exact type of flowers/color scheme I asked for. It was a lovely event and I cannot recommend Indigo & Violet enough! Perfect for any bridal shower, baby shower, bachelorette party, birthday, or any special celebration!
