I'm not sure which is dryer, the Sahara or this class?! After having a very rough week, I made very last minute Friday night plans with a friend to attend this class in an effort to get out the house and cheer up a bit. I typically attend Painting with a Twist, but I thought this couldn't be much different, just a different company. Boy was I wrong! I walked in excited because I love paint classes and gave a cheerful Hello to the instructor... in return we got a blank stare and a tablet handed to us to sign in. We began to have light conversation with the instructor, asking her questions about color and paint and she seemed very uninterested. This made the remainder of the class very uncomfortable as this attitude continued. We were almost nervous to ask her a question because we didn't want to "bother" her. She SAT at the front of the class the entire time, literally. Didn't walk around and assist anyone or help with their creativity and colors. We pretty much talked amongst ourselves and helped each other. In fact, a couple of people sitting beside us went way ahead and finished their entire painting an hour before the class ended to get it over with. They just sat there until the class ended. Not like they were missing much instruction. Even when she stood up & gave instruction it wasn't very detailed. I'd say she needs to work on the way she explains things so that the class understands. You could also tell that she was rushing the class to finish. She'd rather be anywhere but there. It is a 2 hour class but she was closing it out almost an hour early. I wasn't close to finishing my painting as I like to get creative and take my time. However, 30 minutes before the class ended she was taking a group photo whether you were finished or not and obviously ready to end the class. Being that I paid for 2 hours, I didn't participate in the group photo with my unfinished painting and left when my 2 hours were up and not a minute before, which she was clearly annoyed by. I give the 2 stars strictly for the selection of paintings that this location offers. I love to see a lot of diversity in the art. That alone deserves 2 stars. However, it is a waste of good paintings if it is not going to be a fun experience. My friend asked about a dog painting that she saw hanging and the instructor told her it was a paint your pet uninstructed class. Someone made a comment that it was pretty much like the class we are in now and the rest of the participants laughed. I will definitely not be returning to a Wine & Design. read more
