My friend and I decided we wanted to do something different than dinner for our hang out session…read more.. so we decided to try tufting! Here are my thoughts: Location - The location is spacious and cute instead, reminds me of an art gallery. Parking - this is where it gets confusing, its in a small space but parking was confusing for me. I recommend coming earlier to find parking. My favorite thing was the was that the instructor made sure each of us knew what we were doing before having us doing it on our own. I also loved the music while we worked. I would come back! It was very easy and relaxing!

I purchased a Groupon for this class on Saturday the 18th of July because we were going to be…read morevisiting Atlanta for the week. Once I purchased the deal I followed the instructions and emailed them using the link provided in order to book the class using the Groupon. I got no response on that Saturday the 18th so I emailed several times leading up to the day we wanted to take the class. No response. I called 3 times (once on Tuesday 21, Wednesday the 22 and then again on Thursday) I finally spoke with a rather rude individual finally on Thursday that told me he never got my emails, and never had time to listen to the messages. I told him I wanted to book the class using a Groupon he then proceeded to tell me all his classes were booked full. At that time I informed him I was on his website looking at his class times and it was showing 3 openings available. He put me on hold and when he came back asked me to refresh the page at which time he had closed EVERYTHING. Would have love to have taken the class but not with all the scamming. Don't recommend you buying the deal from Groupon either. The whole ordeal was a Hugh disappointment

I was really blown away when I walked into this place. It's in a nice tucked away place that'd…read moreyou'd never know about unless you had reason to check it out. I found it through Groupon which had a "Corks and Canvas" deal. This is a really nice art gallery with tons of art from different artists that work there. Upon our arrival, we were greeted in the kindest fashion by the young lady at the entrance. She got my guest and I all situated for our Art class and gave us complimentary glasses of wine and appetizers(yes! classy) lol They also don't mind if you bring your own bottle(s) of wine to enjoy while you are there! The art class was very relaxing and the instructor was very knowledgeable but free-minded. If you ever have a chance...definitely go check this place out! It's a great idea for a date night with your significant other or just a cool place to go check out! Everything on the walls is for sale if you really happen to like a piece. I will definitely be returning for more art classes there. I'm a happy customer!

A tiny, cozy little shop tucked away in Candler park, purveying goods from Sarah Neuburger, Katrin…read moreWiehle and Mike Lowery. Much like Indie Craft Experience across the street, Paper Ghost Studio serves as an event and studio space so it is open by appointment or events only. I recently went to their casual Valentine's Day event and had a blast looking for unique prints and cards for friends. Prints are usually $25, going up for limited releases and I think I saw $100-200 for originals (mixed mediums, and framed). Great place to find quirky prints for friends who are into that kind of thing, or cards to send to your beloved. Parking is street and usually not too hard to find.

I hadn't visited the High Museum of Art in nearly a decade and thoroughly enjoyed myself. We got…read morethere a little late so didn't have too much time but was still able to see the majority of the museum with a quick pace. Kind staff, great exhibits, architecture and art. I really enjoyed the various rooms and variety from impressionists to modern and everything in between. Would definitely add this museum to my Atlanta itinerary.

I spent about 2 hours exploring the High Museum. The museum is large enough to feel like a full…read moreouting but not so overwhelming that you're exhausted by the end. I especially enjoyed the mix of contemporary and classic works, and the building itself is beautiful with plenty of natural light. We visited on a weekend afternoon and found it busy but still comfortable to navigate. There were plenty of benches throughout for taking a break and really appreciating the artwork. I'd recommend this for a date, solo afternoon, or when you have visitors in town. My biggest tip would be to check the special exhibitions before your visit since they can be a major highlight. Definitely one of Atlanta's gems.

Healium is a small gallery and space full of charming people, music, art, and meditation. I didn't…read moreknow what to expect when a friend of mine mentioned going here to chill and do some painting. Upon arriving the owner warmly welcomed us and then explained what Healium was about: an atmosphere free to play and rejuvenate, essentially. For the painting sessions, you have a choice to paint on a canvas, bottle, or tile plate. To paint it was $10 for the supplies, discount or free if you donated wine or art supplies. The painting sessions aren't lead by anything, there is a base inspiration for the day that you can draw from, but the idea is really to have fun, try not to be overly serious, and just painting. Let go, sort of experience. There are also guided meditations and food toward the back of Healium. I don't go participate in a lot of meditation sessions, so it was really interesting to finally experience a singing bowl for an extended period of time. The open gallery showcases local work from staff and other artists all with either a fantastical theme or meditative spirit in mind. Healium seems to focus a lot on exploration of the soul and letting that blossom. It's also a safe atmosphere to do so. We ended up painting and painting til the place closed up, and still painting. So much for serious? Or maybe just having too much fun.

Where do I start?! This location is easy to find, plus I grew up near this area…read more This place is a gathering place for self-expression, healing and positive vibes. I visited here to attend a singing bowl concert. The owners are warm, welcoming, wonderful people; the Healium Center reflects the care they've put into this place. I was given a tour; I viewed the private art gallery, owned by the Family. I saw beautiful, vividly colored art featured by local artists. They also host meditations lead by Donna, in an exquisite, eclectic black light room. They also have open jam sessions on Wednesday. I felt so at home, it's unreal. This is an 18+ venue, and they also serve food and drink on certain days as well. Please check this place out. Will I be back??? Of course I will. I absolutely love the Healium Center and you will too!
