They provided plastic cups. They also provided all the paint materials. Price: Groupon made it a good deal. Otherwise it's a little pricey but you are paying for a class and all the materials so it's reasonable. Service: good service when I called to ask questions and good service the day of Overall, it was a really fun group activity with my friends and I would do it again! Just remember to look at the schedule to see which painting you want to paint and then choose that class to go to.

This review is only for the adorable little shop they have in the front of the studio. While I am a…read moresucker for beautiful pottery, I am not the most talented ceramist (yet). I've stopped in a number of times, usually after I grab a coffee next door and take a peak around. It was on my last visit that I finally took home a few pieces and they are so beautiful, I am sure they won't be my last from here. The shop is a mix of works by several different students and even the owner. I am actually currently drinking my tea out of a mug I got here that I believe was made by the owner herself! It was a splurge gift to myself that I don't regret at all. On that trip I also picked up a beautiful bowl for my mom. It had a swirly almost scallopy rim and such a gorgeous blue glaze. And it was so affordable! This is why I pop in so frequently, there is always something new to admire or maybe even take home. Happy to have them in town to stop into and find incredible, handmade, unique pieces! And maybe eventually I will try my hand at another wheel class one day as well.

You can book your event online (large groups or a date night etc) and pick what project you want to do. Everyone in my group of 10 did something different and it was really cool. It was seamless. It's BYOB and you can bring snacks. They (I don't think) provide plates/cups just FYI. It's in a strip mall so lots of parking. Prices vary based on your project. You definitely get a sense of pride and accomplishment with your finished piece and it's a fun time out. Expect to spend 2-3 hours here. Definitely recommend!

I had a great time getting creative and crafty, and now I have a cool piece of art! Totally a wonderful, welcoming place and a perfect pick for work team building activities!

I was so incredibly lucky to find the Art Academy of Somerset County - the instruction is simply fabulous!

I am actually giving a review for The Art Academy in Chester, NJ which is a painting academy whose…read moreteachings are actually based on The Art Academy in Hillsborough Township but is located in Chester, NJ. Meghan (the owner) is an artist who has been trained by the artist that owns The Art Academy in Hillsborough Township. Meghan's academy is actually a little over a year old and I couldn't find her yet on yelp, so I am putting my review here and hope that's ok. I am an oil painter, and came to The Art Academy in Chester through a referral to Chester school. I have a strong set of skills in oil painting, and have begun to sell my work. I came to Meghan because I wanted to strengthen my foundational skills in the realistic painting style. Meghan is absolutely the strongest and best teacher I have ever had. She has classes for children, adolescents and adults, at all levels. She is so talented in teaching the fundamentals of painting and it has most definitely strengthened my skills, just as I had wanted. She is a master at working with children and adolescents meeting the individual student at their current level, providing a strong education and support in a manner where I've seen children and adolescents blossom into really excellent oil painters. She focuses on teaching values, and color, which are two very important keystones in being able to paint well. She is an absolute gem. As an adult painter, I find her lessons to be critically important and I have seen a great change for the better in my work. If you are looking for an art school that is both wonderfully supportive and highly educational, this is THE place.
